I believe the Military gives a range for the acceptable lengths of an A2 and Carbine spring and anthing under 12 is fine for a Carbine I believe. |

You old one might have compressed from it's "new" length to it's current "used" length.
I measured mine new and wrote it's length on the buffer so I know where it's length started. |

that's possible. Keep in mind though, I only fired about 200-250 rounds through it. |

It depends on the wire diameter and number of coils and the spring rate. 2 springs that do the same thing can have different lengths.

My original buffer spring had worn down to the point that on a full mag(28rds) w/ open bolt, slapping the bolt release, the bolt would not fully slam home. I got one of those ISMI springs, but then the rifle was short stroking like crazy, even w/ Q3131a and XM193 ammo!! The ISMI spring was noticably longer. Keep in mind, I did have a H2 buffer in there. I ordered a new factory buffer spring and it runs 100% again. The new factory spring length(DPMS) is in between the ISMI and the old spring... FYI, YMMV. |
