[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Buffer spring. How often to change?

Posted: 6/3/2004 12:07:58 PM EDT

How often I should change buffer spring on my AR(s)? Bushmaster Tech told me to change it between 6000- 8000 rds.

It is inexpensive part and I have lots of them, but I would like know what is correct suggestion by military units? KevinB, ColdBlue?

Thanks,

Is there any rule of thumb for when that may be? ie. When is a good schedule to take it apart and measure it?

If rifle is functioning properly, then why worry about it?
If it ain't broke, don't fix it...

adrenaline arms,
they have a mil spec "kit" for sale . bought one and i am very happy with the product and service!
now they have a return customer

i had replaced my spring after 30k rounds. and i agree , if it aint broke, don't fix it. learned that the hard way. not talking about the spring, just in general

I think the TM says to measure it annually. I've never had to replace one.
