jtallen83 Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 I'm putting together parts for a 300 BO pistol build and am curious if anyone here is running a JP silent capture spring or a Tubbs flat wire spring and what their thoughts on them are? I want to make this pistol as quiet as possible, hate to spend the money on the JP if the Tubbs spring will be comparable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 I don't think you will hear a thing with the Tubb's flat wire spring . That JP SCS is $$ , compared to the Tubb's . I'm going to try this , Read the instructions , many ways to tune it & reads it may have issues with sub sonic's with 300BLK. Brownels has it in stock . SUPER 42 BRAIDED WIRE BUFFER SPRING AND BUFFER COMBO FULL DESCRIPTION The Geissele Super 42 Spring was designed to improve the function and reliability of your AR-15 pattern rifle. Its unique spring design uses three independent strands of wire, just like the German MG42 Machine Gun. This concept acts as a harmonic damper and energy absorber by allowing the springs to flex separately from each other. This flex helps displace excess energy which decreases the chance of spring failure and assists with making your AR-15 more reliable. Compared to the stock spring, The Geissele Super 42 Spring has a decreased tendency to lose length and force over a given round count. As an added bonus, it removes the annoying spring reverberations (twang) heard and felt by the shooter through the buttstock. The Super 42 Spring has a 15% stronger average return force than the standard buffer spring. This will assist in stripping rounds out of the magazine when operating with a dirty weapon or when using steel-case ammo.

Robocop1051 Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 I want to hear more about this spring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted August 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 I'd like to see a test video similar to the one on the Tubbs site. I would think the wound wire would help with the vibrations, now I may have to get one of each to see for myself. Looks like I can get both for the price of the JP SCP and nothing wrong with extra parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop1051 Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 I have the flat spring and tungsten buffer in my .308. They work awesome and I don't hear shitt. The flat spring was just a bit too much spring for my 5.56 builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 It sure makes a difference when installing the Tubb's spring in my Carbine 308AR compared to the Rifle Extension. I never tried the AR 15 Tubb's Spring , but I'm sure it would be the same fight to get it in the Carbine Extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted August 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Looks like Strike Industries is jumping on the flat wire bandwagon; http://www.strikeindustries.com/shop/index.php/products/rifle-accessories/ar/ar-stock/ar-carbine-flat-wire-spring.html#.V7448pgrKCj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
