The Strike Industries ARFWSC Flat Wire Spring delivers enhanced reliability and smoother cycling for AR-15 carbine systems. This precision-engineered buffer spring addresses common issues with standard coil springs while maintaining full compatibility with mil-spec buffer tubes.
What Makes This Different
Flat wire construction provides more consistent spring tension compared to traditional round wire springs. The rectangular wire profile creates better contact surface area and reduces binding during compression cycles. This design eliminates the coil stacking and uneven wear patterns that plague conventional buffer springs, resulting in more predictable bolt carrier group operation.
Key Features
- Flat wire construction for consistent spring tension and reduced binding
- Stainless steel material resists corrosion and maintains spring properties
- Compatible with all mil-spec carbine buffer tubes and weights
- Silver finish provides wear resistance and easy visual inspection
- Precision wound to exact specifications for reliable cycling
- Drop-in replacement requiring no modifications to existing systems
- Designed specifically for carbine-length gas systems
The flat wire design maintains more consistent pressure throughout the compression cycle, contributing to smoother bolt carrier group operation and more reliable extraction and ejection. Competition shooters benefit from the reduced vibration and more predictable timing, while duty users appreciate the enhanced reliability in adverse conditions. The stainless steel construction resists fouling buildup and maintains performance across temperature extremes.
