The Strike Industries AR10FWS Flat Wire Spring delivers consistent bolt cycling and enhanced reliability for .308 Winchester AR-10 platform rifles. This precision-engineered recoil spring addresses common cycling issues found with standard round wire springs in large-frame AR platforms. Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, it provides superior corrosion resistance and maintains spring tension through extended firing schedules.
What Makes This Different
Flat wire construction distributes stress more evenly than traditional round wire springs, reducing spring bind and improving bolt carrier group travel consistency. The stainless steel material resists corrosion from powder residue and environmental exposure while maintaining proper spring rate over thousands of cycles. This design minimizes the harmonic vibration that can affect accuracy in precision rifle applications.
Key Features
- Flat wire construction eliminates spring bind and coil stacking
- 316 stainless steel material for maximum corrosion resistance
- Optimized spring rate for .308 Winchester chambered AR-10 rifles
- Silver finish provides visual wear indication and aesthetic appeal
- Compatible with DPMS-pattern and Armalite AR-10 receivers
- Reduces bolt bounce and improves extraction reliability
- Maintains consistent tension through temperature variations
Field testing demonstrates improved extraction reliability and reduced bolt bounce compared to mil-spec round wire springs. The flat wire design provides more consistent pressure throughout the compression cycle, particularly beneficial for suppressed rifles where back-pressure affects cycling. Competition shooters report more predictable bolt lock-back timing and improved follow-up shot consistency. The stainless construction performs reliably in adverse weather conditions without degradation.
