Re: Is this a MG42 Spring?
The GunBroker listing does not give any information as to length nor width.
Looks like a standard British "StenGun" recoil-spring.......(?)....but also looks too short to be fot the MG34 or the MP44 series. I know that it is not for the MG34/41 (MG34S) as they were "braided-wire" like that of the MG42 (but of different diameter/length/number of coils.

I have a Sten Mk II. This looks like a Sten recoil spring to me.

I vote Sten. Got one around if I can dig it out to compare. Not for a 42.
