| I have a buffer spring laying around that I want to use in my XM-16e1 build, but I dunno, it seems like it is long compared to other springs I've seen. Laid out flat it measures 13", is this ok? |
Hey, thanks for posting that. I have two carbine two-position buffer tubes, the new one is about 3/8" shorter than the other. I also have two carbine buffer springs, one shorter than the other. When I put the long spring in the short buffer, the bolt doesn't lock back, but it does when I put the shorted spring in. I haven't shot it in that configuration yet because I was concerned about it, but now I'll go and measure the springs to see if they're within the specs you posted. |
