Daystate Reducing HST on a Daystate Wolverine

Swap the current spring with one that is less stiff.

You can find weaker springs from Bagnall & Kirkwood in the U.K, I believe. There are a few places that carry FAC and Sub12lbs springs specific to Daystate rifles but they all seem to be in the U.K but I’m sure it shouldn’t be to hard to source one state side if you look in the right place.

Buy a random box of springs and try to find one that fits. Sounds crazy, but probably easier in the long run.

Thanks to all the responses! I will measure the dimensions and see if I can find some good matches.

Exactly, that's what I do on many of the other guns. Please share the specs of your spring when you make your measurements.

Free length
Coil diameter
Wire size

Maybe a picture to show how it is wound.

I don't know the insides of the Wolverine, but I have an Air Ranger that is a 50 FPE .22 model that uses a Delrin spacer in it to preload the spring. I have successfully tuned it to various power levels in a range of about 24-54 FPE by making different spacers out of a delrin bar. I don't have a lathe, so I used my table saw to cut the shoulder into the new parts and then cut them to the length I wanted. All this was done with the stock spring. If the hammer system is similar, this might work for you.
