Time to test a couple of springs!

Nice. I want to try out one of those Geissele springs as well.

Something tells me as awesome as Geissele is, this will be a negligible upgrade for me.

Just got back from playing with it... it was not earth shaking, but there was an improvement in the TWANG. Enough that I'll keep it on my 5.56 SBR since it has a LAW folder on it and I cannot use a silent capture spring.

For what they cost, i doubt i'd replace the springs in all my rifles with them ever. It would be nice to reduce the spring noise on my suppressed 300BLK gun without having to invest in a captured spring though.

Did you play with suppressed at all? Or is the reduction in twang just enough that bark of a 5.56 SBR drowns out the rest?

Got this guy for another bolt action build I have in the works. Surprisingly heavy for its size.

Take a look at the instructions. It makes mention that the spring may be too strong to run 300BLK subsonic.

And.... there goes that.

Dude... I'm so addicted to stamps nothing is unsuppressed anymore!
Seriously tho, suppressed. And it did help. I plan on going back to the range this week and I'll take the original spring setup with me to test 'side by side'

And.... there goes that.

I saw those directions too... see my note above, I'll takemy 300BLK SBR and test my subs with it too. I can't promise I'll make the range, as the fish are running and the wife is nagging, but I may be able to squeak it in.

Right on.

Geissele ought to make an AR-10 version of the spring. I haven't shot it yet, but it sounds like i can expect my RA Ultramatch .308 barrel to be overgassed and a beefy spring would help some.

Yeah, didn't mean to burst your bubble, but I wanted to be sure you knew that if 300 BLK is your intended use.

Looking forward to Jim's results!

Good info though. I thought about trying one out anyway, but maybe after I decide what I can use it on, I'll put in an order.

Hey UW!
Had a fun day at the range, and I can confirm a couple of things... first off, the Geissele 42 whatever spring/buffer setup does in fact reduce the TWANG significantly over other spring except the JP Silent Capture. I tested it with 5.56 Winchester bulk box ammo against a generic carbine, a JP "Custom Centerless Ground and Polished Operating Spring" spring, the JP Silent and the Geissele. Of all of them, the Silent Capture was silent. Duh. But the generic was TWANGY TWANGY, the JP custom was a little twangy, the silent was silent and the Geissele 42 whatever was not really Twangy, but a little 'springy' sounding - the best of the 'normal' springs. Mine will certainly stay in the 5.56 SBR I have with the LAW folder since I cannot use a Silent Capture in it.

Second is that the Geissele 42 thingy did in fact run and function flawlessly with my 300BLK SBR. I have upgraded my Silent Capture I normally run to the next level spring from the spring pack, and adjusted the SLR gas block another notch open, but it is not anywhere near fully open. I did everything from a mag dump to check BHO and not a single issue. I would not hesitate to run it if I didn't already have the silent capture setup.

Happy first father's day to me!

That's some good looking gear!
