You mentioned previously that the "only reason [you] do the few semi auto shots is to take the stress off the piston teeth." Since the spring itself isn't really the *main* issue here anymore, I guess the question to ask is how do you know for sure when you've taken the stress off the piston teeth after the semi-auto shots to 'release' the spring (other than the obvious; taking out the gearbox, disassembling/looking through a window in the cylinder)?

I have many guns, one for 5 years and all I've ever done is a few semi auto shots to release the energy buildup on the mechbox (spring, piston teeth and gears) I've never experienced ANY issues related to this.
That being said, a new spring is <$10 and pistons are normally <$20 so IF there is an issue it's a really cheap fix.
Opening your gun every game to be sure is guaranteed to cause more problems in the long run (over/under tighten a screw this one time, etc..)
