MEU Recoil Question

Jun 28, 2010 11:43pm
My MEU is kinda poopy compared to my TM 226 as far as recoil, and upon attempting to purchase a 150% recoil spring set, I was suggested not to do so, however never given a reason. What sorts of problems should I be running into once I install the springs?

the primary reason for springs is to obsorb the weight of a metal body

I put a Guarder upgraded recoil spring, and so far, I have had no issues. I know, you do not change out the hammer spring. Advice coming from Viper.

Oh alright so when it's cold I could just adjust the valve so more gas is used for a full cycle. Thanks guys.

Put in both springs, as upgraded springs are designed to be used as a set. There's a lot of physics behind it that I'm not going to go into, but generally speaking, you've already made the sacrifice of increased wear and tear for the benefit of increased durability/performance/realism. There's no point in doing it half @ssed.
