L1A1 Sear spring - same as metric ?

I removed the old kinked sear spring in my Century L1A1 and compared it to a new metric one I just got from DSA. Quite a difference. Uncompressed lenght of .975 on the old one, .820 on the new one. I don't know if the wrong one was in there or I just put the wrong one(the new one) in. I had a real creapy sort of 3 stage trigger thing going on before. It feels better now. I haven't got to shoot it yet.
Any Help ?

The inch sear spring is different than the metric. Metric is smaller, and uses a plunger. Inch has no plunger.

Hey Mark!

Will a Wolff Light Duty Inch #4-7, 11.5 coils work as a suitable replacement for inch-pattern guns?
