I need a spring that is 13" in length and about 5/8" inner diameter. Anyone know of anything that fits these specs?

This spring may just fit your bill, its a k44 and is 36" long with a .75 id. SPRING Or you could go with a k27 which has a .625 id and would most likely not fit around cpvc well.

Wow that looks perfect for what I'm doing, how did you know I was fitting it around cpvc? Thank you.

It is the most widely used plunger rod for the most part. (and I can read your mind) Which one are you getting? The problem you will have with the k44 is it will most likely mess with your trigger nail (considering the fact that you are making a snap) and the k27 may not be able to slide around cpvc, but you could probably do enough extensive sanding for it to work great.

Actually there is no trigger so no problems there. I am building probably the simplest homemade ever, and its a simple pull back and let go system.

Well my mind reading was slightly off... Ever think about using latex tubing? there is almost no limit to draw/power and is supposedly supa smooth.

Well the project was initially supposed to be bow powered, and it was... until the bow arms broke :\ so I decided to just use a spring instead to avoid any further breakage. Thus this post was born.
