No difference from stock
Written on Jan 25, 2026
I don't notice any significant difference from stock spring. Not worth the price tag. Better to just install a heavier buffer for less money, assuming the gun is overgassed. The spring itself makes no difference. Overhyped reviews here.

Cheap for a reason
Written on Dec 19, 2025
Part of the casing broke off and was stuck in the chamber. Had to take a hammer and punch to dislodge it.
Get the Sledgehammer instead
Written on Dec 19, 2025
If you're looking for less gas blowback with suppressor, get the Sledgehammer instead for about 10 bucks more. Although it's probably sturdy enough, the Warhammer's handles feel a little bit frail.
Doesn't fit

Review for
Armaspec AR15 BBS Braided Buffer Spring
Doesn't fit any of the buffers I have, ranging from Odin works adjustable one, stock carbine buffers, pistol buffers. The flange or spacer included doesn't fit over any of them, the inner diameter is a bit too small. The spring doesn't slide over the buffer either because inner diameter is too small also. Not universal as advertised. Even if it did fit, I have doubts it makes much difference in recoil or sound. Basing this on my experience with the Geissele super 42 braided spring and buffer. Difference is very subtle, if any at all.

A buffer spring is a buffer spring
Written on Dec 18, 2025
I just copied my review for the pistol version. Basically the same. Misled from all the 5 star heavy reviews. Recoil, sounds, all feels the same as the stock round wire spring. I wasted my money, but at least it wasn't too much. A buffer spring is a buffer spring when used in a naturally hard kicking 5.56 rifle, at least in my experience. What's more, a flat spring is slightly harder to remove and install because it gets caught on the retainer pin.

Review for
Strike Industries AR Pistol Flat Wire Spring
I bought into the hype of all the 5 star reviews here. Recoil, sounds, all feels the same as the stock round wire spring. I wasted my money, but at least it wasn't too much. A buffer spring is a buffer spring when used in a naturally hard kicking .45 or 10 mm PCC, at least in my experience. What's more, a flat spring is slightly harder to remove and install because it gets caught on the retainer pin.
Doesn't allow proper cycling in a pistol
Written on Dec 05, 2025
Tried this on a 1911 45 acp and it wouldn't allow ejection of the cartridge. Possibly too heavy and counteracts the proper tilt action of a pistol. On top of that, I don't feel much reduction in recoil. The smaller versions of this like the one for 9 mm feels like they do what they're supposed to.

Actually makes a difference in recoil
Written on Dec 05, 2025
I used this in a PSA Dagger 9 mm and I think it actually makes a difference in reducing recoil and muzzle lift. Had no issues with cycling with both FMJ and HP.
Great bipod
Written on Dec 04, 2025
Review for
Magpul Industries MOE QD Bipod
This bipod has been moved around multiple rifles and sbrs and works well. There is some rocking back and forth, where the legs attach to the body of the bipod, but one adapts to it. The m-lok adapter is a tad wide for some guns and a little bit of playing around is needed to get it through the holes but they all eventually do. The feet are quite slippery and there will be some sliding around between shots if on a smooth surface. The M-lok mechanism is solid and stays on when tightened. All is plastic, but seems pretty sturdy so far.
Best BCG for 45 I could find
Written on Dec 04, 2025
This is used in a Pro2a and Tacfire 45acp uppers, and functions dependably in both. No misfeeds or problems cycling in either. Very well built. Much better than the Tacfire version which came with one of my uppers, that one constantly misfed hollow points and jammed. Switched to this Stern one and all those problems disappeared.
