Action Army AAC-C1 Original Spring

Most spring listings are about going up. This one is about going back. If an Athena has been sprung for a site that allowed it and now needs to shoot somewhere that does not, the original spring is the part that gets it there.

It is also the right answer when a rifle is being sold on, or when a modified build has turned out to be more trouble than the extra energy was worth. No rating or free length is documented for it in any source open to us.

Having the factory spring in a drawer is what makes experimenting with a heavier one reversible.

Specifications

Good to know before you buy

Chrono after fitting, even going down. Lower is still a reading your site needs to see, and a rifle that has had other work done will not necessarily return to its original figure.

Buy it before you need it. The moment you want a factory spring is usually the morning of a game at a site with a tighter limit.

No rating designation is published. It is described as the original spring and carries no M-number, so we cannot give you one.

The rest of the rifle matters too. If the chamber or seals have changed, the spring alone will not put the reading back where it was.

Frequently asked questions

Why would I buy the standard spring?
To bring a modified rifle back inside a limit, to sell it on as standard, or to undo an experiment.

What rating is it?
Not published. Action Army describe it as the original spring without a designation.

Will it put my chrono reading back to factory?
Only if nothing else has changed. Seals, chamber and barrel all move the number too.

Is it the same as the spring in a new rifle?
It is listed as the original specification part.

Is fitting it any different from fitting an upgrade spring?
No, it is the same job in the other direction.
