Recon Spring Replacements?

Are there any?
I did search but found nothing..

Just want a direct replacement spring as I stretched mine and now the gun wont cock :/

PS, I don't want to buy a whole new Recon.

if you have the spring out go to bunnings and have a peak around where the door closers are....they sell plenty of springs in packets that will probably match up size wise. Just be careful not to select a spring that has to thicker wire diameter.

the recon breaks easily. 2 recons plunger broke when i only removed the air restrictor, then returned them

Here's a tip regardless of the gun: NEVER STRETCH THE SPRING! Not only does it return to it's original shape after a short time, but even worse it degrades the shape and will break quicker than if left alone.

Now I had the problem of my recon not cocking (before I added the second spring). This is what to look for inside the recon to aid in cocking. If found the spring can slip over the area where it's supposed to stop on the plunger tube. Camera not working well, so will have to post a modified pic from a while back. Just behind the plunger tube's trigger catch is where the spring normally resides. If the spring is stretched it can widen the diameter of the spring, thus the part of the spring that is supposed to stay there can actually slip around it. This interferes with the trigger mechanism further back because with the spring in the way you cannot pull the plunger tube back far enough to catch on the trigger assembly and stay in the cocked position.



Solution: get some electrical wire and wrap it (and use electrical tape over it) around where the spring SHOULD sit and you can either let the spring settle a little to get back to it's original position, bend it back to it's original shape (not recommended) or tape the spring to the wire. Of course you don't need to do the wire thing, but it does help with range. See my Recon mod here. It's reasonably extensive, and just try the electrical tape bit first.

[Edit: As far as a replacement spring, I haven't found anything decent yet, Just about everything at bunnings that I've seen has been too small a diameter or too tough a spring. Best way is to bring the spring with you when you go and check it in store, or ask someone if they can order one in for you.]
