Reply With Quotehardware store should have a similar spring (atleast i've found them) for like 2gbp...all your have todo is make your own prongs on the ends..
An expansion spring has the same design as a rotary spring, compression springs don't quite.

Andy, your effort, especially the pictures, saved a few hours of my time - thanks a lot!
I have managed to successfully assemble my magazine but I still experience sprawl jams while loading - the sprawl often fails to fal into its position after rotating the rotor. I will have to give it another look and check if the sprawl did not get deformed.
Another issue is loading pellets - approximately 50% of pellets (H&N Finale Match) jams and does not load into the barrel :-( Has anyone experienced similar problems with Daystate?
Are you making sure the head of the pellet goes beyond the o-ring in the magazine. Try using the single shot tray to load just to make sure the probe is pushing them in central.
Yes, I do. The problem is less frequent with JSB Exact, although still 2-3 of 10 jam. Pellets seem to 'dive' and get stuck inside the magazine, especially the flat-headed Finale Match.
Pellet loads flawlessly with single shot tray.
I have disassembled the magazine and reassembled it again, the sprawl problem is gone but loading problem persists :-(
That's strange, don't see how they can jam in the mag.
I found at http://www.daystate.com/manuals/im/pellet_recommendations.html that they recommend domed pellets (like Exacts) for the 10 shot magazine - this may be the reason of my loading failures with flat-headed pellets. Yet still, even domed Exacts jam from time to time.
The head of the pellet seems to 'dive' into the tiny hole between the rotor and main body of the magazine, the place where the sprawl is located. Perhaps it is a sprawl deformation issue after all.
