why is it so hard to fine a main spring for a Gamo Hornet rifle? One place wanted $24.99 shipping for a $12 spring....?
Other wise I can't fine anyone in the states, someone here must have an idea?

I think mine is broken too. Haven't been in a rush to fix it, but hopefully someone has an answer for you.

Do you have the spring out and can measure the OAL, inside diameter, outside diameter and number of coils? The Hornet may be the same as a Gamo 440 which is what the B19 type guns from Crosman Benjamin are based on. We could probably tell from those measurements if it is the same spring size then you could get one from Crosman cheap that would work.

Thanks Van. I've never had it apart and don't have a spring compressor.

I would check with Air Rifle Headquarters:
https://www.airrifleheadquarters.com/page/page/251488.htm
Tom had the correct Website for the Coil springs, there's three choices:
1.) E3650, Stock Spring
2.) Merlin, Slightly Lighter Spring, Easier Cocking Effort, Smoother Shot Cycle, Less Power.
3.) Tarantula, Slightly Heavier Spring, Harder Cocking Effort, Rougher Shot Cycle, More Power
If you want a gas ram go the Custom Airseals of Australia, they sell them on their website.

The Hornet spring is another option stronger than a E3650.
