Sorry if this has been answered, but I wasn't able to search up the info I wanted yet. This will be a short post, since I am busy trying to haul hay in the snow.
Aero M5 Upper,Lower, handguard
Aero Carbine enhanced buffer tube (7" I assume, will check this evening)
KAK heavy buffer (2.5", 5-ish oz)
18" BSF 308 barrel, rifle gas
toolcraft BCG
Waiting for paint job to dry, and headspace gauges, so have not shot yet.
Figured the Aero buffer spring would not be the best. Picked up Tubbs Flatwire for large frame AR. The spring had the coating flaking off which I wasn't thrilled by.
For my question:
The coating flaking kinda bothers me, plus I see on here where the flatwire spring was not recommended. So I was thinking EA1095, or Sprinco Orange.
However, during my reading, I see where people have had trouble with the CS springs rusting, so I has wondering if there was a good stainless option for the buffer spring?
I am not too familiar with the EA1095 spring, is it stainless or something more corrosion resistant that CS? Would it be okay in a 7" receiver extension?
This will be more of a hunting/target rifle, which wont see a super high round count.
