When I changed the recoil spring I found it to be much "stiffer" (more resistance to racking the operating handle). So my conclusion was that the new stiffer spring will result in less battering of the gun when firing.
Although I have a bandoleer of military ammo, I shoot only moderate level handloads. So combined with the new spring, I think it will be easier on the gun to have the stiffer spring installed. The rest of the springs/parts can wait until something fails before replacing.
