arranged like the 300s can be put into the 300... ?? just reading the 300 had one spring.. the 300 s has two that spiral in different directions.. to nullify each others' torque.
should I try to install the 300s spring set up or do you think it will make a difference to a sport shooter of limited talent. LOL ?

I haven't personally tried it, but it should work since the 300 and 300S receivers are the same length. If you decide to try the dual springs, make sure you get the spacer that goes between the two spring ends.

For my shooting ability, I wouldn't bother. I can't tell the difference shooting a single spring 300 and a dual spring 300S.

Recently. Seems if I re work the gun later..I should upgrade it to more recent and advanced configuration...the blog stressed the upgraded 300s eclipsed the 300 quickly ..not accuracy..ease of performance due to no torque.
Thanks jim.

"HAVE GUN WILL TRAVEL"

I'm not sure that the difference is worth worrying about. I have a 300 and a two 300S's, and there is no discernible difference in their firing behavior. The condition of the spring and seals is really a much more significant factor in the gun's feel. Frankly the 300 has always been my favorite of the three.

For what it's worth, Jim Maccari's superb replacement spring for this series of guns is just that--a single spring, which perhaps tells ya his opinion of the benefits of a double spring!

Historically speaking, the idea of double counter-wound springs is not new--the first application I know of, was on the classic BSA underlevers more than 100 years ago!

In more recent times, the Walther LGV used a single spring, but the succeeding LGV Spezial went to short counter-wound double ones. I own an example of each with a fresh rebuild, and again feel no usable difference in their behavior, in spite of their being smaller, lighter rifles than the FWB's, and without any kind of recoil compensations mechanism.

First with the dual spring, then with a JM single spring. The stock dual springs were definitely soft. The JM spring, hot. As far as felt torque, there was no difference. Recoil was the same.

IMO, most won't feel the difference. As Mike stated, it's more improtant to have a fresh seal, bumper and spring(s), as well as fresh lubes.

Good luck
