Which buffer springs are you guys running. I have a LMT Factory Lower on a factory PRI Mark12 Mod0 upper. I am running a carbine length buffer system and currently using the factory LMT Recoil spring.

I was thinking about picking up a Sprinco White spring, anyone currently using this? Thanks in advanced.

Does it run fine with the LMT?



If so, keep using it.

I run a LMT SOPMOD stock assembly (standard buffer spring and H2 buffer). It functions just fine with my ADCO/WOA/PRI Mk12 Mod 0 upper.

Hard to disagree with this. When you try to fix something that isn't broken, is when  it usually ends up broken.

unless its all worn out a regular carbine spring should be good to go.  If I was going to make any changes I would start with the buffer weight.

I was able to borrow a friends Sprinco White buffer spring this afternoon and it did seem to soften the recoil slightly but it may just be in my head. I did however get pretty much exactly 3 o'clock ejection consistently of every single round and bolt lock back with XM193 and XM855 at the end of each magazine. So now I am thinking of just making it permanent. Thanks for the responses.

IIRC, Springco white springs are for carbine length gas systems. Though it runs just fine in my 16" midlength.

Standard rifle buffer/spring in an A1.

No issues from weak 52-grain plinking handloads to full-power 77-grain CBC and IMI Razor Core.

Would probably get quicker responses in the mk 12 thread. But being that the stock is user specific as far as carbine or A1 or A2 tube, I'm not sure what spring us considered spec. But my guess would be the spring that comes w/ the Colt carbine extension or Colt A1 or A2 extension

no such thing as an A2 tube. You can use an A1 or A2 stock, but the tube and spring length would be the same. Carbine would be a little shorter.

I use a USGI rifle tube/spring/buffer with mine and it runs flawlessly.

According to the info on the website, the red is for 16" carbine, the white is good for 18" plus and is basically a standard mil spec tension. I run the blue in my mid length 16" and also in my 14.5" Carbine and it is great. The white actually seemed to run great, i only fired 55 and 62 grain but consistently got 3 o'clock ejection every single round.
