Hi, I recently bought a agm stg44 and i saw that the fps averaged 410. My field only allows AEGs to be 399 fps. I bought an spring to lower the fps on the gun. Is the spring the only thing I would have to switch out or would I have to replace other stuff?

Swap the spring and you should be golden.

If thats too difficult for you to do, here is an easy way to fix do that without taking the gun apart. Set it to full auto, pull the trigger and let it cycle a few times and let go in the middle of the gearbox cycle. The spring will be condensed and loose tension, and in a week or two, you'll notice a bit of FPS drop.
To be completely honest, an AGM STG shooting over 400 out of the box is probably not happening. Don't know what site that info is from, but all the AGM STGs I've encountered all shot at about low to mid 390's out of the box. I wouldn't mess it with it.
But if I am wrong there, just do what I said above. Condense the spring and it will loose a bit of FPS over a week or so.

I have owned two STG 44s both from AGM and both shot well over 400 FPS when received.

2nd Bat - Ditto for me.
I have two AGM Stg44's and both of them shoot 400+ right out of the box with no modifications or hop adjustments.

If your field requires under 400 fps w/ .20 gram (a good rule in my opinion ) swapping your spring is your best bet. Leaving the spring in the cocked position will remove some of the tension if stored that way for an extended period but it is a spotty proposition at best. Fire it on full auto and listen carefully to the sound and you can tell when it's in a sprung state. Once in a sprung state store it unfired for several hours. Experiment carefully repeating the process until you have achieved under 400 FPS. In addition to reducing your FPS this however will reduce your springs overall useful lifespan although not pronouncedly unless this is your only gun and you use it alot.
A key maintenance process for all AEGs is to take them off full auto and fire three semi auto shots before putting them on safe and storing them. This will prevent your spring from prematurely loosing it's power. In your case you WANT to lose a little power.
