Reviews & Ratings for Strike Industries AR Carbine Flat Wire Spring — 65 reviews — Page 1

This immediately went into a lower and worked flawlessly. Haven’t had a chance to run anything suppressed yet, but I am so looking forward to not hearing that screeching noise the regular round wire springs make.

I just prefer using flat wire springs in AR buffer systems.
I have not had an opportunity to operate this spring, but it appears
to be well made.

I ordered this spring to upgrade my ar15 buffer spring and it is better than the old spring highly recommend

There’s an improvement in feel and sound but it’s very subtle. However considering the durability benefit and potentially improved function, it’s worth the low cost. To
Me. Easy install appears high quality. Have not fired yet.

Used w 10oz buffer in my AR-9 and worked perfect w no issues.All my Strike Industries products have been great.

I have installed these springs on all but two of the builds I have put together, one of the builds has a captured spring from another manufacturer and the other build was for a guy who wanted an inexpensive rifle. The guy bought his own upper, lower and BCG, a bunch of us guys who shoot together donated left over parts to finish the rifle, one of the guys donated a blemish barrel that shoots really well (I installed a mil-spec. trigger that I had polished and had in one of my rifles before I installed a two stage), looks like a budget mil-spec. AR and has that distinctive scrape/twang of an AR when charging, (the guy was shooting smaller than quarter size holes @ 50 yards with BUIS, thing is a real sleeper). Now, on to the Strike Industries recoil spring. I have shot several different rifles with everything from mil spec. to fancy, expensive hardware, BCG, springs, trigger groups, barrels, etc. Unless you have a suppressed rifle I can’t tell the difference in sound from one another as far as “twang”. These SI springs do have a distinct sound when charging the rifle, but nothing bad as far as I can tell. If you are having difficulty installing this spring, use a small flat piece of plastic or a cleaning pick to hold down the buffer retainer as you install the spring. The main reason I chose these springs over mil-spec. round wire is longevity and spring tension consistency. With these flat wire springs combined with an adjustable gas block and light weight buffer, I have tuned...

For the price worth every penny, smooth functioning and no spring slap no more…

I purchased 6 of them, on another site when on sale like these. About the same price I paid. All I have to say is get them makes a big difference in all of mine 7.5, 10.5 ,12.5 ,16,. The other two gave to my son. I use the carbine size in all of them 7" on up and 7.62x39 AR, enough said simple fixes, failure to feed, and all the misdeeds of God's of Thunder nowadays!!!

Skeptical at first. But all the positive reviews and price point decided to give it a go. Excellent price and was truly surprised after installing which again Strike Industries needs to do a better job of with products. Just cycling the weapon manually was a noticeable change in feel and no twang. Very smooth

Needed a spring for an intermediate length receiver extension on an AR-10 using a carbine buffer. This spring fit the bill and appears to be one of the better options out there. Will be utilizing Strike Industries Optimus buffer due to its ability to be adjustable but any milspec buffer will work. Would’ve been 5 stars had it come in packaging shown and not in a plastic bag from manufacturer. Make sure to check your spring for damage upon receipt especially if shipping box is received damaged or shipped only in a bubble mailer.
