How long can springer be left cocked?

[scooter]

So, how long can a springer be left cocked for before spring fatigue set's in? Would 30 minutes be too long, just curious, thanks in advance.

30 minutes would certainly not be any problem.

I have left mine cocked for months with no ill effects.

Spring gun can be cock for a day without damage. But I wouldnt leave one cocked for more than a day. For piston break barrel, they can be left cock for a long time. Over a week or so with no damage.
