Niche part might not be worth it - JP Enterprises SCS System Buffer Retainer Pin & Spring Kit

I had the same issue as another customer. Spring was all bent up and unable to be used. Baggy was sealed. Didn’t return it because that would’ve been a hassle, so I just bought another spring while ordering other stuff. The little tool provided is barely able to keep the pin down as it’s basically the same width as the retainer pin and was very awkward to try n use. It’s pointless and doesn’t help at all. Index finger works better. The pin itself is nice and when paired with an “enhanced” buffer tube with a lip it fits nicely. It seems ever so slightly wider than the other two mil-spec pins I have and it’s of course a longer horizontal shape vs a vertical cylinder. I imagine those two aspects help stabilize carrier travel a smidge by engaging the carrier earlier and with a more precise fit. This may ever so slightly decrease wear over the lifespan of the weapons system(I’m talking literally thousands upon thousands of rounds here). BOTTOM LINE: If they fix the spring issue and you’re building a system with other small improvements above the typical mil-spec then you might as well get it. Also, if you have their SCS then this will hold it in which is the main intention of the part.
