Anyone know the pull weight of a standard mil spec carbine buffer spring in lbs?

Thanks in advance!

Typically springs are defined by a load and a rate or two loads (among other parameters).  Are you looking for the force the spring exerts at the rear of the stroke?

Yes, the pulling force at the end of the stroke.

Thanks in advance!

According to a spring comparison video by Charles Tubbs:



A carbine spring in a carbine tube showed 16.7 lbs. locked back and 9.1 lbs. in battery.
