N/A Lucznik 87 Spring Replacement

Hello everyone,

I’m new to the pellet rifle world and need some help.
I recently bought two old Lucznik 87’s and got some replacement seals and springs from a great guy down in Australia.
He said to trim the new spring to the same coil count as the old one.
The old one is 26 and the new one is 29
Easy enough.
The new spring will still be a lot longer.
Is that normal?
Do I need to trim it?
I assume it’s because it’s new?
Any help / pointers is greatly appreciated.
