Airsoft Springs & Spring Guides

Springs & Spring Guides for AEGs - for consistent power and smooth mechanical performance

Airsoft Springs & Spring Guides are crucial components within every AEG because they determine how powerful and stable your replica shoots. The right spring, combined with a suitable spring guide, ensures controlled power build-up, consistent FPS output and less wear on internal components. Whether you are tuning a CQB build for lower power, building a DMR configuration, or simply want to improve the durability of your gearbox, in this category you will find everything you need for stable and reliable performance.

Why upgrade to better springs and spring guides?

A well-chosen spring determines your FPS target and ensures smooth compression, which benefits the lifespan of your gearbox. Spring guides reduce friction, keep the spring in place and ensure a smooth cycle. Thanks to progressive springs, you can also build up power gradually, which puts less stress on internal parts and provides a more natural trigger experience.

What will you find in this category?

• AEG springs from M90 to M150 for a range of FPS targets
• Progressive sniper springs that gradually build up power
• Bearing spring guides for minimal friction and longer life
• Compatible models for V2 and V3 platforms
• Durable constructions that can easily handle intensive use

Who are they suitable for?

These parts are ideal for technical players who strive for consistent performance, DMR builders who want to transfer power efficiently, CQB players who want smoother cycles, and airsofters who want to reduce wear and tear by optimising internally.

Frequently asked questions

Which airsoft spring should I choose for my replica?

This depends on your FPS goal and playing style. Lower springs such as M90 or M100 are suitable for CQB, higher springs such as M120 to M150 for DMR purposes. The final Joule/FPS value also depends on how good the air seal is between the cylinder, cylinder head, piston and piston head, nozzle and how this connects to the hop-up chamber.

What is the difference between standard and ball bearing spring guides?

Ball bearing spring guides reduce rotational friction, making the cycle smoother and reducing internal wear.

Are all springs universally compatible with AEGs?

Most springs fit in V2 and V3 gearboxes, but always pay attention to length and coil density because some platforms may have different sizes.

Can I upgrade a sniper with a progressive spring?

Yes, progressive springs build up power gradually, which puts less stress on internal parts and provides a more natural trigger feel.

Buying guide

• Choose a spring that matches your desired FPS range
• Consider progressive springs for less stress on internal components
• Use ball-bearing spring guides for a smooth cycle
• Check compatibility with your gearbox platform
• Match spring strength to nozzle, cylinder and gear ratio for optimal performance

Top tip: Combine your new spring with a high-quality cylinder head and gear set so that power build-up, airflow and mechanical efficiency are perfectly balanced.

For a complete internal upgrade, Cylinders & Cylinder Heads, Pistons & Piston Heads, Nozzles, AEG Gear Sets, Motors & Pinion Gears, Shim Sets and Hop-Up parts are excellent additions. By refining these components together, you can create an efficient, quiet and durable AEG setup.

With Springs & Spring Guides, you choose controlled power, smooth operation and long-lasting reliability for your AEG.
