Nice-looking, but weird that they didn't include a better set of tensioning springs.

These are rather specialized and I agree that a better spring would not be unreasonable considering some manufacturers include silly items (re: Dragon's recoil spring for the Tiger I's gun barrel) with their kits. I'd make the replacement out of wire spiraled around the existing piece and smile smugly when asked.

That's what I did with my IDF M-60 with mine roller. Of course, I DIYed all-new cables along with the springs...

So if one were going to get the pre-made cables, one would think the springs should be there too. Just my $0.02...
