Buffer spring effect on accuracy???
Re: Buffer spring affect on accuracy??? I completed the test today. It was a great day for shooting. Sunny, dry and very little wind. I have attached pictures of the 2 springs beside each other (Armalite and Tubb). The Tubb is approximately 1/3 longer than the stock Armalite. I also...- longeye51

Buffer spring effect on accuracy???
Re: Buffer spring affect on accuracy??? I have a 24" barrell. If I am understanding what your are saying correctly, due to the extra length of my barrell the bolt may start moving back before the bullet leaves the barrell. Is that correct? Or is the correllation the distance from the...- longeye51

Re: Buffer spring affect on accuracy??? No offense taken here. I am with you on your concerns about this country and math and science.

Buffer spring effect on accuracy???
Re: Buffer spring effect on accuracy??? You have all gotten the best of my curiosity. Plus, I am always looking for more accuracy no matter where it comes from. I am going to invest $30 and do my own test. To be fair to the stock Armalite spring, I will use the Tubb's spring first for warm...- longeye51
