Hello there gun wizards. I recently purchased a Camp-9. I really like it but I was thinking about doing some ammo testing that would include trying a stronger recoil spring. I bought a Wolff 16.5 lb spring and installed it this evening. I noticed that the OD of the new spring was slightly larger than stock but I put it together anyway. It slid in just fine with out binding. Now when I manually cycle the carbine, I can hear the spring rubbing. I have yet to shoot it with the spring installed and I am not sure that I wish to try. Have any of you installed this spring in a Camp-9? Is this normal?
Thanks,
Mike
