Replacement Recoil Spring?

[awesomebill 0]

Ok, I got a second hand s308 16" gun with a texas weapon systems gen2 dog leg rail unit already installed.  I'm wanting to move the rail to another AK and go back to a standard dustcover on this s308. 

 

What I'm trying to figure out is if the s308 uses the same or different recoil spring than other saigas.  I know about the little metal "buffer" on the s308 models, but I'm wondering about the spring itself.  Reason being, If i can just get a replacement recoil assembly for the s308, i'll just move the one from this gun with the dog leg rail as a unit, and put a replacement one in the s308.  Will keep me from having to remove springs and re-assemble them.

 

I tried searching, but no luck.  Sure I missed the info somewhere.

 

Thanks!

Ive run with a x39 AK spring installed just to see and yes it works although the 308 spring "seemed" slightly stiffer.

 

But hey it works.

 

I also know a blackjack buffer can replace that metal plate just fine.

 

Now if I could find a bolt...
