AK recoil spring questions

Venom1956 · January 6, 2017, 05:45 PM

Well I made a stupid mistake. I cleaned my aks after a range trip. I had them marked to the rifles. I have 762,556,545. Unfortunately the marks came off when I scrubbed them clean. I can't really tell which ones are which.

So what are the differences in spring weight between the calibers? I'm struggling to find any info on this subject.

The replacement springs for 762 and 545 are the the same and the 556 may have a stronger recoil depending on the manufacture and /or milled or stamped receiver. http://www.k-var.com/shop/AK-339R.html Maybe some help in the link to cross reference?
