Do Not try to stretch a Short Spring to make it longer..... Comprende ?

EDIT: Ask this seller if he ships to you if you want USGI New Springs

2nd Edit: Best to stay away from this seller. SEE replies below.

Carlito,

The spring from the older Inland SN 249xxx is 10 1/4" length and the newer S.N. 5.0 is 11"

It's the same one Charlie recommended to you at first. They've used more than one seller name and that's been really confusing to all of us! - Bob

Just so everybody knows he also currently goes under the name cumberlandvalleyarms. He used to go by ivesamory but must have been banned under that username because he hasn't sold anything under that name in a couple years.

Eddie, try the seller Rickplayer on ebay. I'm not sure if he would ship to Mexico but you can rest assured it will be a usgi spring. He is a trustable seller and has them listed right now.hth

This certainly is not a hoorah for any makers springs no matter where they came from. I have shot them in all lengths from various carbines and never have had a problem. I have one in an SG now that’s 11-1/2” long, surely a commercial. It might very well be that over time, they won’t last as long as a USGI spec. spring, but I will shoot what works. If one has action problems, might be time to install a spec. GI spring to eliminate it as an issue, but I would not lose any sleep over it. Otherwise, shoot what you have if it works. The only thing I will be sure of is to avoid one too weak.

USGI

Several years ago Sportsman's Guide and Sarco sold op slide springs that were USGI. I sold one a couple years ago (should've kept) that came from Sarco in 1993. The last (2) I got from them both measure 11-1/2" so that length must be common for repros now. The last Carbine I bought (4 years ago) came with one of those longer springs and it was pretty hard to get it stuffed into the receiver. I was a bit worried it might cause "coil binding" so replaced with a worn 10" GI spring. Some (maybe all?) of those 11-1/2" ones are a bit short on the coil count, so probably wouldn't actually bind when the slide slams back. How long are the Wolff springs? - Bob

They don't say on their Web site, Or I couldn't find the length.
Only listing I see are their 'Extra Power' springs for Op/Recoil and Magazines.

They have this listed about Shipping:

CORONAVIRUS NOTICE - SHIPPING DELAYS
Due to extremely heavy order volume and the Covid-19 situation there will be delays in processing and shipping your order. W.C. Wolff Company is in operation but with a limited staff. Your business in important to us and we will get your order on the way as soon as possible. Currently we are experiencing about a 20 to 25 days delay in shipping orders.

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS
Due to the Covid-19 situation and changes in US Export regulations we are temporarily not accepting international orders at the present time.........

I've purchased bulk packs of their 15 and 30 rd magazine springs and they seem fine.

They describe the Op Slide/Recoil spring and Magazine springs as being 'Extra Power'
Nothing said about Extra Power for the Hammer, Ejector, Extractor, Mag Catch, Safety Plunger, Sear or Slide Stop.

I thought back a few years ago when I ordered the Mag Springs that they offered 'Regular or their 'Extra Power' Springs for the Op Slide/Recoil Spring.
Maybe I was mistaken...

ETA: This was a FAST SEARCH of the Wolff Web Site looking for Op/Recoil Spring length. If the measurement is hidden in the small print, I don't want to hear about it. It's late, my back is hurting and the Grandson has worn my A$$ out.... :banghead:
