![]() ![]() ![]() Issues with the spring surround how they rub the internal surface of the buffer tube, creating a ‘twang’ sound and wearing on the tube over time. Standard Rifle Spring – 12.75” with 41 to 42 coils.Standard Carbine Spring – 10.5” with 37 to 39 coils.Rifle and carbine springs have the same diameter, but vary in length to match the buffer. Unless you plan on rebuilding the entire system, you don’t need to know all the details of it all, expect how they work together.īuffer springs are all fairly similar in nature. When you are determining what spring you need, it is quite simple: you need to choose the spring that works with the existing buffer weight you already have. Your spring is determined by the buffer, not the other way around. Word to the wise: don’t confuse the buffer weight with spring weight. In your research you may find a lot of information about how this whole system works, but many people the weights and parts are easily confused (and for good reason since they all work together). But you still have to match your parts in order to make them work. To keep this nice and simple(ish) we are purely looking at the buffer spring itself, and not the whole assembly. However, choosing your buffer weight is dependent on quite a few factors, such as the gas system used, size of the gas port, ammunition being used, and even if you are using a suppressor. A carbine length buffer weight are used with most collapsible stocks that use the shorter carbine length buffer tube. ![]() ![]() The added length of the rifle buffer helps fill the void in the A2 rifle buffer tube. Rifle lengths buffer weights are longer and are used with standard A2 buffer tube often found in a fixed stock design. These ARE NOT interchangeable, and you will use a rifle length spring with a rifle length buffer and carbine length spring with a carbine length buffer. To understand which springs you need, you first need to understand the differences between rifle and carbine length buffers. To say it is an important piece is an understatement- but the best part is how incredibly budget friendly it is, as well as easy to add to your build. When you fire your weapon, the buffer spring recoils and pushes the buffer and bolt carrier forward to load the next round of ammunition, and close the bolt for the next shot. Either way, you can fairly easily replace the buffer, and/or buffer spring to personalize your use. Regular use of the spring may begin to wear it down over time, or you may find what you have isn’t giving you the response you need. Part of this system is the buffer assembly, made up of the buffer tube, buffer, and buffer spring. The gas system of your rifle is responsible for firing, ejecting, and chambering the next round, and a quality build is important for efficiency and accuracy. It is easy to trade out compatible parts for your shooting style, but may be a bit tedious to find what works best for you due to how many options exist. With that being said they were pretty effective on the pigs that I did hit when it fired, but not much use being effective when they do not feed reliably.A 300 Blackout is so popular because it uses the familiar AR-15 platform to allow a customized shooting experience. I tried filing the sharp edges of the feed ramps and while it did help some they would still miss feed every 5 rounds or so. They fed when there were only 5-7 rounds in the magazine, but once loaded with 10 or more not very well at all. There I sat 10 yards from 20+ pigs with a rifle that hung up round after round. This happened several times including once when I had a huge sounder cornered in a field surrounded by pig fence after they found an opening and could not find their way out. My issue was the copper part of the bullet just past the flex tip insert would get caught on the feed ramps and would not chamber. My Aero M4E1 upper/lower with a Ballistic Advantage 10.3" Performance Series barrel did not like to feed it very well, and I tried three different types of magazine including the P-Mag 300BO mags. I did not have very good luck with the Hornady 190gr Sub-X like ARx3 did. ![]()
