Buffer suggestions?
I plan on ordering a BCM rifle extension tonight, but I need help picking a buffer and spring. I'm tempted to try the JP silent captured spring but thought I would get y'all to chime in before I make my decision. Also, are all springs made the same? Other than carbine vs. rifle length of course... Are some better than others or are they all pretty much made exactly the same?
Not sure if it matters, but it is for an 18" Noveske with an Intermediate gas system. And I want it to shoot as soft as possible. Right now it shoots like a dream with an H1 buffer.
Thanks

I would probably try a carbine buffer and spring before anything else.

I have no suggestions. I am in on this one to learn more about buffers and springs... LOL
My dumbass just used what comes in the box with my buffer tubes....
I do know a few people have reported that they LOVE the JP Silent Springs though....

Buffer suggestions?
Rifle buffer if it's for a rifle extension and not a carbine extension.

Honestly a standard rifle buffer and spring should be no problem.

Sprinco green rifle length spring with a rifle length buffer. They are right around 5.2oz. On 5.56 rifle length gas systems it produces a very soft recoil. Should run well with your gas system.

Lol I'm the same way, or at least until now. Just figured it was time to search for something better. If I can't find anything else I'll most likely go with the JP as I've also heard good things about it. I also like how you can use the same unit for both carbine and rifle length tubes, and with the JP you don't need the buffer retainer so no more pins flying across the room lol

Springco green spring, or a Tubb CS flatwire. The softest shooter I ever built used a Tubb Flatwire.

SpringCo have worked well for me. Haven't tried Tubb's or JP Silent, but plan on getting a JP Silent Captured spring for one of the next builds.

I have 2 sets in AR15 pattern weapons and one in a AR10. Not worth the money unless shooting suppressed subs. Only difference is lack of spring noise. And a huge loss in the ability to fine tune the buffer system.

Ditto on the JP. I got one just for grins and it works fine, but I would not trust it in a defense gun. And I don't care for the spacer in a rifle length.

Thanks for the help guys. I will be ordering a spring today either from Sprinco or Tubb. Just to clarify, are y'all saying just to get a standard 5.2 oz rifle buffer? I don't mind spending a little more money for a better buffer if there is one.
