OK, dumb move here.
Saw pictures of SA springs and ordered 2 of the Tubbs Springs.
Oops, Long Action.
Maybe one can be cut down.
Maybe someone can count turns from the picture.
I got two different number of turns.
Maybe best out of 3? :)
I bet 'He who shall not be named' could make it work :)
The Commander spring, a little light, works with the shims.
All of Dave Tubb's Savage CS (Chrome Silicone) springs are shipped for long action. You need to trim them. Instructions for trimming can be seen in my photos above. The instruction's iterate that they are not cut to factory spring length but are cut to the coil count of the factory spring.
Be mindful people that cutting like for like springs to length of original is acceptable. However, its not an acceptable practice for material difference, outside diameter differences and wire thickness varies. All of which develop the spring rate; which is often measured per inch for small springs in the USA. When in doubt contact spring manufacturer for recommended practices of spring cuts. Heres a great calculator. https://www.coilsdb.com/compression-spring-calculator/
