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.

Did not work for me...

I installed this AR-15 CS Buffer Spring in my Smith&Wesson M&P15 carbine and no matter what I did my rifle would not cycle. I tried 3 different weight buffers and still the bolt would not strip the next round off the magazine and into the chamber. I had no failures to eject or extract but this spring would not allow my BCG to go rearward enough to cycle properly. I disassembled my gas block and check for alignment and blockage but all was O.K. I replace this spring with my original buffer spring and my rifle runs like a beast. it was a waste of money for me. I really can't see where a spring could make much of a difference anyway but I had to try it. If your rifle works O.K. don't fix it.
