JP tuned spring in A5 buffersystem

[Curlew]

Without confirmation from JP you have not corrected anything.

Again, when I asked them in January 2020, their response was that their springs were made from rocket wire, not stainless.

Have they told you otherwise? Or do you have some other reason to think the springs are stainless?

You’ve provided nothing to support your assumption. At this point I’m thinking you’re just trolling.

Alright. I wipe down the action spring with a generous coating of CLP so I don't see why it would corrode before the BCG. In a marine environment a complete hard chrome or nitride BCG seems prudent.

I’m not sure why they do, but CS Sprinco action springs rust before almost anything else will in my weapons. Colt ones or Tubbs stainless ones never do. The old Tubbs CS springs also rusted quickly for me.

Post the email you got from them then.

Bet you don't...

If anyone here is riding them hard and putting them away wet - That would be you sir.

Well done in my opinion.

There are guys that read about shooting on the internet and then there are guys like you that - Actually shoot guns.

Even with CLP I presume? Do you avoid CS springs now?

I tried Sprinco and rusted them in short order but the ARs they were in live in non-climate controlled places on the coast.

The outside of the spring rubbing on the tube is not going to have any oil on it. I think the inside of the tube is a corrosive environment due to condensation and fouling residue.

If you want reliable and no rust, use what militaries around the world are using with great success: Colt carbine springs and H or H2 buffers.

Correct on both counts.
