Hi guys
Greetings from italy

Yesterday i have installed on my 14"( i know its not the best for 3gun but this is what i have here) the jprifle Lmoss bolt carrier and rifle buffer, a pri adjustable gas block and a Tubb flat wire buffer spring.
I tryed it with almost all close gas block. Recoil like a .22 but bolt not locked after the last round.
Normal.
So i tuned as it stay open at enpty mag, but im thinking...
If i find a very lite buffer spring, i could close the gas on gas block having the bolt open at empty mag... Isnt it?


So i need to share with you this idea and having your comments.
What willbe the lightest Buffer spring on the market?
May i cut a bit the buffer spring?
Pro and cons of this??

Thanks
Andy

Should work.  Look for a reduced power action spring and have at it!

Wolff makes reduced power (RP) springs...

Cutting the spring...won't change the spring rate, only reduce the pre-load.  Theoretically it would increase the spring rate.

From elsewhere:

A spring is a torsion bar that has been coiled up - reduce the length of a torsion bar and it gets stronger, not weaker. Reducing the length of a coil spring (if it's under compression when installed, as most springs are) reduces the pre-load of the spring, but actually increases the spring rate.
