Home Depot has not really any small springs, if many at all. There are just so many differant spring combinations out there. What do you want a lighter one for anyway? You shouldnt replace stock parts with other foreign parts. The Madman spring kit has a lighter drive spring though. -------------

They don't carry small enough springs at Home Depot. Ace doesn't either, although they do have some that work in certain pump markers for more velocity. I found a likely spring in an electric can opener, but the wife wanted to open cans so I put it back. -------------

Like I said before..."save up" and get the upgrades you need, modding and installing upgrades to any marker takes time and dont think that everyone in here is rich, jus beacuse we were able to get the things we need to improve the performance to our markers. ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

You DO NOT want to put in a spring not properly engineered to operate your gun. Even if you do find one thats close, the most minute, smallest difference can completely screw up your gun's operation and air release from the CVX. You don't put rubber bands in your car to keep it running, and you don't put random crap in your gun to make it operate differently. ------------- A-5 E-grip Chipley Custom Carbon Graphite 16" Evil Adapter(Spyder) 32 Deg New '03 XChamber Remote Line Gun Sling Sniper f/x Stock LPK 68/4500 HPA R-5 CP Reg JCS Duel Trigger |

350?!?! What??? Are you aware that paintball masks are only rated to 300 fps? Anything higher can potentially break through the mask and blind one of your buddies. ------------- A-5 E-grip Chipley Custom Carbon Graphite 16" Evil Adapter(Spyder) 32 Deg New '03 XChamber Remote Line Gun Sling Sniper f/x Stock LPK 68/4500 HPA R-5 CP Reg JCS Duel Trigger |
