spring - does it matter which way round?

[old_and_slow]

Help please ............

I have just got a replacement spring for my rifle.

The coils are tighter at one end than they are at the other.

Is there a proper way to fit this ie tight coils nearer the piston or does it not matter.

The spring it is replacing has equally spaced coils so is of no help at all.

Thanks
