I looked at the recoils springs in the Krieg and the 1938, I did not in the Navies. The ones I did look at seem to have that 'original' look to them and best I can tell have 20 coils. I have a replacment recoil spring here and it just plain looks different and is 22 1/2 coil long, already kinked in the middle from being too long? Has anyone gotten one offered by Numrich? I have had questionable luck w/their springs being what the ad implies, ie; I ordered springs for a rifle, they were hand cut from spring stock. When I sent them back as non original, they supplied new originals rather than refund. Go figure........... Now, with the recoil spring discussion, I am having the same problem w/ WW 1 and WW 2 guns w/the ammo I have tried. Obviously the Egyptian is too short for these guns. It works fine in sub guns although a bit lazy. And I have 10,000 rnd to use up somewhere. I am most disappointed that the new military 9mm from Olin (Win.) is the next poorest performer. I have 2500 rnds of it. I have 22 rnds of the gray box Norinco that seems to work on a just barely basis and 2 boxes of the Norinco red box which is again iffy. I have found a set of 9mm dies here that are already in a Lyman True Line Jr press w/a powder dispenser. I only need to get some 124 gr bullets which Wally World may have............
