I am finding a lot of conflicting information regarding the maximum springs allowed on the Gunfighter MK3. I just picked up the MCG Ultimate and a 200mm extension and am wondering what the max setup I can try is. I have found where UIV said it was okay to use 2x #50 springs however I know that #50 are weaker than #50A. I am looking for a definitive answer so that I don’t make a mistake and mess up my MK3. What is the maximum “A” springs recommended on the MK3. 2x 50A, 1x50A and 1x40A, or 2x40A (listed on the NA website)?

1 #40A + 1 #50A per cam for MKIII base please.
2x#50 for MKI and MKII.

I see what you did there.
So is there a particular reason for this recommendation of spring assignment? And does it matter which axis the spring is loaded to?

Thanks for taking it as a simple joke, because that's what it was.
The reason for using this combo as max load is that going over it might shorten the life of bearings. It doesn't mean that the bearings will fail in a week and I also have to underline 'might'. But just to stay safe.
