So I'm looking in my parts bin for a buffer spring to finish up a lower.
I found one.
But I don't know if they are pistol, carbine or rifle springs.
Is it 5.56 or 308? Are buffer springs caliber specific?
Also don't know the brand. Is there a way to identify this?
Length of the spring, number of coils, color or type of material?
Is the spring for a carbine and pistol the same?
I was thinking so. But some pistol buffer tubes are fatter and shorter?
Then there's the buffer themselves.
I can measure and weigh these which makes it easier.
What's your advice and experience?
