E-11 Bolt Spring...New source

http://www.goodyearep.com/productsdetail.aspx?id=16154  When working on my blaster project a while ago, I knew I was going to make the movement of the charging bolt functional. I also knew that the parts were going to mostly be resin and plastic and a spring with too much strength might crack things or be impossible to draw back. I was in PEP BOYS and found E-Z COIL by Goodyear. You can look at the link to see it. There is a metal bar that allows the spring to be bent. Remove this and you have a perfect E-11 bolt spring. This is $9.

Which size E-z coil did you buy to fit the tube? Gonna head over to pep boys tomorrow to get one!

this is a cool tip... trying to find a source in Australia for one.

 

I have found a off-brand version which is the right width but its length is a little short.... I think it will just be borderline OK as long as make a longer ejector port
