| Is it worth getting a heavier recoil spring? i run a mid length gas tube |
| I run a slightly stronger spring in my mid lengths. I use the 'enhanced' Sprinco blue along with a Spikes ST-T2 buffer. I found that it works best for me. What I noticed is that with a standard spring I was denting cases on the ejection port edge instead of hitting the shell deflector. With the blue spring I hit the center of the deflector. |

The Sprinco Blue and Spikes ST-T2 buffer are exactly what I've purchased and intent to use with my upcoming build. Barrel is an 18in mid-length. Haven't finished to build yet, but I am hoping for a nice soft and slow recoil. Here in the State of Kalfornia I am not worried about any kind of rapid fire.

I have a Sprinco Blue and H2 buffer in a 14.5" mid barrel with a full auto BCG. It's been running great. I'm sure a standard spring would work fine as well. The heavier spring is supposed improve feeding reliability. It's a $20 spring, I'd say try it. At least that was my attitude about it when picking out a spring. If you don't like it, or if it doesn't work right, a standard spring is $5. Then you'll know first hand whether it's worth it or not. If you don't want to spend $20, then just get a standard spring. |
