Alternative Buffer Springs


Recommended Posts

A little quick question for everyone or anyone for that matter. I’m aware that the general consensus is that only 2 springs are accepted for carbine buffer tubes (7”). Was just wondering if there was any other springs that were acceptable, other than Sprinco or Armalite. Someone has probably already asked this. Turns out that I’m not so good at looking up specific topics, I hope to get better. Thanks in advance

Ooops took me a while to respond, sorry. I guess I was just wondering if anyone had had any success with any other carbine length buffer spring, keep hearing alot about this "flatwire" spring that never wears out, and is quiet, sounds a little bit like maybe some magic LOL

The armalite is for 7 5/8" not 7.

Springco orange is for 7"

^^^ He nailed it.  Landed a perfect 10 on it, too.  :hail:
