Recoil spring lenght

**skip_c** · 05-16-2015 12:14 PM

TM 9-1005-211-34 says the free length of the recoil spring should be approximately six and a half inches long. The springs in my Ithaca and Remington Rand are only six inches long. Which one is right?? TIA

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

In my armorer course materials it says, "Free length of spring must not be less than 6 inches. A flat appearance on either end of the half coil is not required."
