Tubbs Buffer Spring question

[ron_c]

Just curious, for those that use this spring in their AR10/LR308, did you have to readjust the gas block setting from the stock spring setting?

I don't recall if I had to or not, but just assume any changes made to the buffering system will likely lead to adjustments needed in the gas settings also. Just make sure to look out for things like the stove piping, not picking up next round in mag, or bolt not holding open after last round fired out of mag; all signs of not being gassed properly.

I didn't in any of the .308s or 5.56s I put them in.

I just use silent capture springs

I use the Tubbs recoil springs in all my AR's , large and small... I don't remember ever having to readjust the GB.

And I typically use heavy recoil masses... 9.3oz 308 rifle buffers and typically 5.3oz for carbine setups.

However, YMMV.
