Extra Extra Power Buffer Spring. The Orange spring is much stouter than the Red spring. The Orange buffer spring was originally engineered for the demands presented by.308 / 6.5 CM / .260 Rem, etc., heavy BCG carbine DPMS Pattern applications using standard 7" Depth M4 extension tubes and short 2.5" buffers (Including aftermarket "heavy buffers") in robustly gassed 16” - 18” ML gas carbine platforms, but has been proven to be a requirement for tuning over gassed carbines of any equivalent heavy calibers in AR-10 pattern tubes with 3.25" buffers or lesser calibers (5.56, etc.). Color Coded ORANGE.
Don't clip coils from any of our other buffer springs in order to yield a lighter spring load for DPMS pattern applications. Doing so will result in an unknown spring load and might damage the gun.
NOTES: If your build is yielding a solid 1:30 to 2:00 O'clock ejection trajectory, then start with an Orange spring and tune it with the buffer weight. Empirical evidence has shown a heavier spring and lighter buffer produces better performance than a lighter spring and heavier buffer.
