    M1 Carbine Replacement Recoil Spring

    I need a new recoil spring for my carbine. I need to know what is a good replacement. How are Wolf springs? Should I stay away from Wolf?

    Thanks

    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.

    Your spring should be 10.25" long. Original springs are available. Most say stay away from wolf springs.

    I think Numrich sells a spring kit that has the recoil spring, one or two 15 round mag springs, and I think a few other misc springs for not a lot of money. This is what I used and it solved my issues but I can't recall if these are new, used , or surplus USGI. I think the mag springs were surplus going off their condition.
