I made my compressor as long as the longest anticipated gun/spring combination I could imagine.
I adjust to a shorter length as needed by inserting wood blocks to take up the space.
someday I may relocate the support closest to the clamp end, as it can interfere with
the trigger housing on rifles that have the housing welded to the air tube.......

You can lead a man to water, but you can't keep him from urinating in it.

I use a scissor jack. Those things are easy to find and adapt. Usually free. And have more length for stroke then you'll ever need. Plus they can lift a car so the springs are not even close to a challenge for them.
Everything in that picture was scraps and leftovers so no money actually involved in building it.
May not be pretty but I want function over looks.
