I need a replacement hammer spring and valve spring for a Hammer 7. Does anyone know where I can grab some, or another marker I can rob them from?

Went cruzing around the web as your post intrigued me. the valve spring seems to be available thru action village and ans gear,however the hammer main spring is not available at either site. for the hammer main spring i would look at CCI phantom springs. The reason i would look at a Phantom spring is that the power tube is oriented similar to the phantom in design and assembly. Would be worth looking into in my opinion.
Good luck.

I had the same thought. I swapped in a phantom spring. It was a little too short (about a 1/2”) and way too soft (my FSR wouldn’t even leave the barrel). I have to dig around for a red spring, maybe that’ll do the trick.
It sounds like I’m on the right track at least! Thanks for the input/suggestion

Something else you could try if it will fit is a Spyder standard style main spring and clip to fit, in place of the phantom spring. Just did some tinkering with my Maverick and my Nellie with CCI internals. Spring heights where the same,but different gauge wire, however you tried a phantom spring with not much success. i did try a Spyder main spring(silver) cut to height and there was a noticeable difference in spring tension/resistance to engage the sear to the bolt,very much on the heavy side and a bit of resistance as the Hammer was sliding on the power tube.Given that Spyder spring kits are plentiful and relatively cheap, you could find the tension and length that would work for you. This may be a viable solution to the main spring issue.
Good Luck and let us know how you make out.

Update: I tired a few spyder spring kit to no avail. However….A RED PHANTOM SPRING will get you up over 280 fps if you’re slightly over bored.
I swapped out for my stock 12” barrel and cut some zoom dots loose. Worked great.Comment
