What is the STRIKE INDUSTRIES - AR-15 Carbine Flat Wire Spring?

The SI Carbine Flatwire Spring is an economical, easy upgrade to any AR system with a carbine buffer system. The flatwire spring increases service life of the platform, smooths out the shooting cycle, and greatly outlasts the stock spring. Increased bolt load, in addition to decreased compression force increases reliability in cycling. Additionally, all SI Flatwire springs are cryogenically stress relieved to provide greater consistency, longer spring life, and greater resilience to high cyclic rates. At a cost not much greater than stock carbine springs, the SI Flatwire is an easy option for those either looking to replace worn buffer springs or begin new builds. Package include:

  • 1x Carbine Length Flatwire Spring

Features

  • Cryo-cycled 17-7 ph steel for strength, reliability and longevity
  • Decreased harmonics lessens system vibration for faster follow up shots.
  • Increased bolt load for more positive feeding
  • Reduces distracting AR "twang"

AR 25 Flat Wire buffer spring
All good comments. Great functionality and appears to be quieter. May have to buy more for my other rifles.

Makes sense
This spring was used for an 10.5 BBL AR pistol which is over-gassed. The tension of the spring felt noticeably stronger than the stock springs. When fired it eliminated the twang in the buffer tube. Coupled with a heavier buffer this aided in adjusting ejection pattern to a 4 oclock position.
