Well, two things are going on here. I have found that you can stretch these kinds of springs and get a modest  5-7%  increase. The trick is to retemper them by baking them in the oven at 400 for 15 minutes. With these thin non-commercial springs, that's all it really takes.

The second issue is the spring itself. I have a pretty good collection of springs now, and whenever possible I double up or find a cheap aftermarket replacement. But as far as I can tell, the FalconFire spring is unique. I wasn't willing to splurge on a custom spring considering I hated the stock blaster. Now that I'm kind of fond of it, I might reconsider.

But yeah, stretch & bake when you can. Throw 'em in alongside the pizza next time you order in.
