African Air Ordinance sells an upgrade spring kit (3 springs of different length, different strengths) for their 4500 psi upgrade air reservoir and valve to fit the Airforce Texan .457 rifle. I bought a used Texan that came with one of these kits, three springs (no 4500 psi reservoir or valve--only the 3 springs), so does anyone use any of the Air Ordinance upgrade springs in their Texan not having reservoir/valve 4500 psi uprgrade?
Has anyone had any problems with the OEM Airforce Texan original hammer spring, to justify changing to a more powerful spring, such as found in the African Air Ordinance upgrade kit?

I am interested in knowing more about the springs you have, 50 fpe is a good jump of 100 fps depending on weight of the slug.
What grain bullet are you shooting and what was the starting velocity before spring change and what is the velocity now with spring change?
