I gave my friend a [k26](+bow spring) so that he could do the Recon Stock Spring Addition(Can be found in the mod directory. It's the one with the AR-15 spring.). He tried it out a few days ago and he says that the spring is too strong and doesn't work. He has done the Ar removal and has cut off the black cover over the orange bar so far. What's the problem here? Should he just get an AR-15 spring or a [k25]?

Maybe he's right, and the spring is just too strong. It could be possible that the strength of the spring isn't allowing the gun to catch. You could either switch to a less powerful spring, or add a stronger spring to your catch.

Okay, to determine your problem you need to know if the slider will still go all the way back into the position where it should lock.

If it's going all the way back but not locking, your problem is in the catch. just double up the spring there. Any decently strong powerstock mod will require strengthening the catch spring.

If it won't go all the way back, the AR-15 spring is just too long and even fully compressed it's not going to reach the catch. In that case, you need to move the base of the spring further back, or cut the spring down.

On my recon, I used a stock nf spring threaded with a DS spring for the stock spring addition. Its pretty hard to cock, and it gets like 40-50 ft.
