I wouldn't bother with that spring you posted in the link when you can buy a carbine action spring that is made to the mil-spec from BCM for $4.50. On their site you have to click the tab which reads, stocks, grips and handguards.. All of the parts are there, buffer, receiver extension, spring, end plate, castle nut or the whole kit. You ask why the carbine spring ? There is only two types of springs, the rifle spring for rifles and the carbine spring for carbines. If you have a carbine then you want the carbine action spring. I wouldn't buy the heavier springs from Sprinco, they make great springs but see how your carbine runs first before going with a heavier buffer and spring. I would buy all the parts you need from one place that way you save on shipping. I don't work for BCM nor do I have any financial holdings in their company. I'm just a customer who knows their products and customer service is first rate. Like I said I own 6 of their mid-lengths and run them hard, I don't shoot off a bench. BTW, I also own a couple of Colts. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quote History Quoted:

Are the 'H' 'h2' are a bcm thing? That's the only place ive seen where you can choose the different weights. I was wanting to get a spikes but didn't know how they all compared to the 'h' because the spikes are 'st-t'
Does the spring have anything at all to do with the buffer assembly?
What is the most popular buffer assembly used in mid lengths?
The most popular buffer used in mid-lengths is the H buffer. There is no "standard" buffer. Buffers are Carbine, H, H2, H3 and Rifle. Buffers marked this way are not just a BCM thing. Spikes is the oddball with their ST markings. Most other companies go by Carbine, H, H2, H3, Rifle. If you're assembling a mid-length a good place to start is an H buffer with carbine action spring. I have 6 BCM mid-lengths with that arrangement and have never needed anything more, one BCM has over 10,000 rounds fired through it and the only malfunctions were mag related.
So I should buy the H kit by bcm or if you think there are better ones out there link me. So buy that then on top of that buy the carbine action spring? Why the carbine spring. And where can I buy that separately ? Is this what you're talking about when you say carbine spring is there a good site where I can buy a H buffer weight and choose a carbine spring so I'm not shopping from bcm then getting a spring from these guys?

If you were referring to my suggestion, I just want to point out that the "WHITE Spring" from Sprinco is a Standard Power Buffer Spring. Equivalent spring load to a “fresh” Mil-Spec M4 Carbine Spring. If I was shopping for the "best" parts for my AR I would buy a chrome moly spring. The BCM one will be fine, but some people like having "upgraded" parts.
