COIL COIL COIL

My 1904 Westley Richards has a broken top lever coil spring, trapped by the internal guide, it still works.

My brand new V sprung best boxlock broke two V springs in two consecutive hunts and needed lots of time and cash to fix.

Many have bet and lost claiming they could tell, blindfolded, the difference between coil sprung Perazzi MX12 and a V MX8. Those claiming they can tell therefore prefer the crips pulls of V springs, usually do their rifle hunting with bolt actions citing crispness again. Bolt actions are coil sprung.
