I have a new Bushmaster M4/A3... according to document I found on this site, Bushmasters do NOT use the heavy duty buffer spring. Should I put on in? I expect a fairly low round count relative to what I see here.... i.e. probably 500-750 rounds per year (I have several AR's).
I am going to gun show tomorrow, if I should get a heavy duty spring, are there any "gotchas" or should I just look for a standard carbine heavy duty spring..... |

If you are referring to the action spring (many folks call it a buffer spring), then no, use the factory spring. You’re more likely to create a problem where none existed, especially with lighter loads. .
For reference the action spring is listed as #1 here. |

First and foremost SHOOT THE GUN in the factory configuration before you make any changes. Very simply...."If it aint broke"!!! tex45acp |
