Why we like these:
One of the quickest and easiest ways to tune the performance of your AR-15 is to swap out the buffer and buffer spring. Sprinco makes industry leading buffer springs, and has a variety of options depending on the spring power you are looking for.
This is a standard power rifle spring intended for rifle length or A5 buffer tubes.
**Sprinco recommends applying Slip 2000 Extreme Weapons Grease to every buffer spring!**
Official Description:
Sprinco AR-15 buffer springs are made from high quality Chrome Silicon wire stock which is used in a variety of applications from Formula One to motor valve springs which can see up to 15,000,000 compression cycles in a single race. This makes it the perfect choice for a carbine which will see far less cycles than that over it’s lifetime. In order for this carbine buffer spring to retain its strength, Sprinco heat treats, shot peens, and treats each spring with a proprietary formula that retains spring efficiency for as long as you have your rifle. The Sprinco carbine buffer spring is a great option to improve the long-term reliability of your AR-15.
Features:
- For rifle length buffer tubes and rifle-length gas systems
- Made from chrome silicon wire stock
- Heat treated and shot peened
The Green spring is for use in A1 / A2 fixed stock rifle length receiver extensions (buffer tubes) with rifle length buffers. It is also extremely popular in intermediate depth (7.75 “ deep) VLTOR A5 buffer tubes with 4” A5 buffers. The spring design loads of the Green spring are those of a BRAND NEW mil-spec buffer spring. While the Green spring is primarily for use with lesser calibers such as .223, 5.56. 6.8 SPC, 6.5 Grendel, 7.62 X 39, etc. in A2 rifle length tubes, it may sometimes be appropriate for use in long BBL (20”+) rifle length gas BBL’s in heavier calibers such as .308 and 6.5 CM, .260 Rem, etc.. (May not be effective for unsuppressed 7.62 X 51) In the latter scenario, an H2 or H3 carbine buffer has been used successfully in rifle length tubes with the Green spring. Over gassed heavier caliber guns with rifle length tubes may be addressed with our Red or Orange carbine springs and standard length 3.25” carbine buffers along with a spacer to yield the appropriate tube depth for the longer BCG’s.
