HELP - new spring compressed 15mm overnight???

I fitted a systema M130 to my ICS L85 yesterday. (before anyone asks - It's converted to a single shot DMR hence the high spring rates)

Before I fitted it I checked the length of the new spring against the ICS M120 that I took out and they were exactly the same length. Both were 170mm approx.

I fired a few shots on semi only (about 10) to make sure all was well.

Today, I removed the new spring and it is 15mm shorter than it was when new yesterday. It measures at just over 155mm.

Is this normal?

Systema Springs dont seem to retain their shape very well. Ive had 390 fps guns drop to 280 in a matter of weeks.

I recommend switching to Modify Springs, they seem to retain their shape much better.

Yep, Ive just been reading a few topics suggesting you guys are not impressed with Systema.

I don't know if I can get a Modify spring in the UK - need to do a bit of research!

Systema used to be really good when they were manufactured in japan. Now its manufactured in china, and their materials/quality has degraded significantly.
