Interesting video. Thanks for posting it.
Maybe I am missing something, but are the first 2 springs stock carbine springs or stock rifle springs? He starts off by saying the stock springs are "A2 springs" at about 1:14. I don't think it's a good comparison to the Springco springs if the first 2 are rifle springs.
Also, he comments on the spring oscillation ("vibrational node") problem which exist in other springs, but not in his flat wire springs. But I clearly see it in his spring at about 17:17. I didn't spend a lot of time looking at video. But I actually see the "problem" more clearly in his springs than in the other springs he shows.
