These flat wire, high-quality action/buffer springs from champion shooter David Tubb will perform flawlessly and are duty rated for 500,000 compression cycles at maximum performance. Made to “extra power” specs without the extra material, these springs are surprisingly lightweight, yet exttremely durable. Gives correct timing and resistance on the recoil stroke and a controlled rebound ensures reliable feeding with consistent forward thrust on every shot. Keeps the bolt locked a little longer to allow pressures more time to subside for perfect cycling.

SPECS: Stainless steel. AR-15 fits both fixed and collapsible stocked AR-15 rifles and carbines without modification to spring or gun. AR-10 .308-style fits both AR-10 and SR-25/LR-308 platform Rifles and Carbines with either rifle or carbine receiver extensions.

Epic fail

Put this in my noveske light recce. 24 "fail to feeds" first 26 shots. (Federal 5.56) Took it back out, put old "cheap" spring in.....200 rounds no fails.

Epic Fail

Put this in a fairly new (1,000 rds) Noveske Light Recce N-4, 24 "fail to feed" in first 28 rd mag. I took it back out, put back stock spring. 200 rds, no more fails.

There are much better products avaliable

I tried these springs in a variety of carbine and rifle length guns, some of which had adjustable gas blocks. The carbine length guns did not function properly and would not lock back on an empty mag even with the gas ports set full open. Made the action very hard to cycle by hand and was impossible for a female shooter to even lock the bolt to the rear. Even a high rifle length gun seemed gritty when cycling compared to other CS springs on the market. And these did not take the twang out of the guns. I returned all that I had purchased.

Terrible performance.

I bought this spring to fix some reliability issues I was having in a Dissipator model. After instalation I could not even cycle the weapon. I removed it and installed in an A4 model. Weapon would cycle but didnt seem smooth. Took the weapon out and fired 50 rounds before the spring would not allow the weapon to cycle. Only 8 times out of the 50 did the weapon cycle correctly after the shot. Issues ranged from not picking up the next round in the magazine(most common) to striping a round half way out of the mag and then stopping. I will be returning this spring ASAP.
