One leaf (the long one with the hook on the end) of the compound 9mm spring was 50% thicker than the regular 7.65mm spring, which has leaves of equal thickness. The carbine has the same spring as the other 7.65mm 1900 Lugers, but had a helper spring in the forestock to assist in bringing the action back into battery.
