Thread: BSA Hunter help required.

Both springs appear to be the same pitch / wind. They are the same wire diameter and same centre diameter. The difference being that the Hunter spring is sad looking and shorter for the same number of turns.
I have just compared both springs following the suggestion from Mathias above. With the CF2 spring reinstalled on it's striker rod, the firing pin attached and a panel pin through both the bolt stripping hole in the shroud and cocking piece, this has the spring in the compressed cocked position. Compressed to this point 36 winds of CF2 spring would fit nicely on the Hunter striker rod without a gap or being too tight.
This must be the answer me thinks ??
