What is the magazine spring length for an 1886 rifle 33 WCF with 24” barrel and full length magazine tube?

According to Homestead Parts, who sells replacement springs –

The magazine spring should be 6 inches longer than the forearm of the magazine with the follower in place. Their replacement spring measures 40 inches, uncut.

Wolff Gunsprings also sells replacement magazine springs. They may be able to give you specific answers concerning your application.

Thanks, 

Gus
