I ordered a new recoil spring for my 6946, and the new spring is about 1 turn longer than the old spring. Just curious if this will be a problem/ Thanks in advance!

One way to tell when you semi-auto is ready for a new spring is when it gets about 3/8" shorter. This lets you change it before you have problems.
