... which is a very good thing for them holding their shape / strength, but makes it impossible (at least for me) to cut off a coil. I bent the blades on a pair of snips and took all the teeth off a Dremel cutting wheel trying to do it 🤣

 

Unless @ak2m4 has a magic trick to doing it I'm stumped (looks like heat won't help as the cutting wheel got the spring lava hot).

That is what I use to cut them.

I'm off work for a few days so the cutting wheel turned up today, and I shat my pants when the sparks started to fly from it cutting the spring 💩 🤣 (put on some gloves and safety glasses after that).

 

@ak2m4 I cut just over a coil of an M130 to get my DMR to spot on 1.6J on 0.40g BB's.
