CMP rifles, do they even have original springs?

You replaced a honey nut brown spring?

Don't you know that those came from the personal stash of John Garand himself?

You better find it, it's priceless.

I replace all my springs with new ones. Most are so worn and are short. I see nothing wrong with replacing items like that. No one complains if you have replaced your cars battery etc..... Take care Spin
