Bren Mk 2 Recoil Spring Issues

[djandj]

OK - here is what I have. (see what happens when you get a rifle w/o a manual). Just realized that I DO have a return spring in the stock as well as the striker spring. However - both seem very week as setting the gas port to anything but the lightest setting will cause the bolt group to SLAM into the stock. Plus I'm still crushing the striker spring. There was relatively little force as I unscrewed the cap at the end of the stock behind the return spring. Is this supposed to be a strong spring?

Take a look and tell me what you think
