Just got the new spring in, speant plenty of time cleaning out all the plastic bits from the piston and what not.. Working perfectly, guess I was lucky it didnt do more damage..

Glad to hear, what did you end up dropping in?
I didnt bother going back to read anything in case you did tell us.
Its good to know that no additional damage occured, Im surprised there was no wear on the spring guide or anything! But hell if you got away clean, you got away clean.

Damn right, Old spring I corrected myself was a Systema 120sp, and I just put in a new Prometheus MS120SP, works great so far, let it break in a little bit. Spring guide had a few nicks on the tip, probably were one end of the break was wrapped around and caught it a bit.. nothing a file couldnt handle.

Holy crap man, I JUST had this happen to a friend of mine last sunday. Old M16A1 with a systema M100.

Two instances of melded springs? Oh noes! We are all doomed!

If there springs were not that old, either you got lemmons, or the springs were twisted while being installed inside the gearbox. did you use a screwdriver to guide the spring while installing it in the gearbox? these helps avoiding unnecessary twisting and turning during installation as these springs are hard and requires some effort while installing them.

Pics can do the talking for me..

CORRECTION spring was a Systema MS120SP not a Prometheus.

Im blown away, as is Illusion(Sold me a lemon u bastard!!) its litterally broke in 3 seperate places, and then coiled itself up... Can anyone venture a guess how the hell this happened cuz I sure dont know.

oh and Shrike.. I guess it wasnt my battery! lmao
