No more springs for the 350 magnums?
« on: November 25, 2008, 09:47:36 AM »
I've read a couple of places that 350 mag springs are hard to come by is this true? If it is should i try to get one just in case mine breaks?

Are you talking about factory RWS springs or aftermarket springs like Maccari springs? Rob

Rocky may I ask where you herd this? To my knowledge JM has not stopped making them.

Which spring are you talking about Gene?



To my knowledge, Maccari doesn't make an RWS 350 spring.



Sometimes he releases a 350 Arctic spring, but those are few and far between.



I'm sure other Maccari springs could be used in the 350 like the Three Nine Ultra. But there is no RWS 350 spring or tune kit on Maccari's site.



Let me know.

Gene, I read several places in the airgun reviews at reviewscentre.com and I even read it here somewhere that maccari doesn't make springs or kits for the 350. I did not know for sure and I was just worried that if my spring breaks I wouldn't be able to replace it. I plan on shooting this gun for a long time!

Rocky, you have nothng to worry about. I get all my springs from JM and I do RWS air rifles every week. I just did a RWS 350 and a 460 last week and both got new JM springs. The 350 and 460 use the same spring. In fact there is not much difference between the 350 and the 460 except for price....:)

Rob, I use the one's he makes for the RWS air rifles. I would suggest that you call Jim and ask him which spring he recommends.

Thanks Gene!!  I was getting a little worried that I would have to take it real easy on my new girl.  But now that I know that replacements are available It's katy bar the door!!!  I shot here 35 times at a single sitting the other day until I couldn't pull the barrel down anymore and I think I'm gonna do it again today.  Man I do love airgunning!!
