    Pressure rate of buffer spring? That's some funny shit, really...
    With all due respect, when i start wondering about stuff like that I know it's time for my meds.
    Perhaps more time shooting and less time giving a rats ass about something OCD like that.

    But really...just to answer your question, sort off:
    Get a sprinco Blue or White depending on what your "need" is and be done with it.

    you have no idea what you are talking about.

    As I have stated, more than once, this has nothing to do with the M4 or the 5.56 cartridge.

    I require a spring pressure rate at/below a specific value, if the spring exceeds that value it is of no benefit.

    When something will only operate within specific parameter X, you can't just slap in Y and Z and "be done with it"

    In terms of being "OCD" about something I am investing money and time into, designing and machining, then yes I will gladly admit to that.

    Next time, perhaps you should just refrain from speaking and be done with it.

    Since there seems to be "confusion" about context: please check the header in which you are posting.
    Last time I checked - this is ALL about the AR15/M4, 5.56 et al.
    Maybe time to move this thread to avaid further "misunderstanding"?

    Just saying.........

    did I not ask about the AR15/M4 buffer spring? As in the spring itself, used in the AR15/M4.

    I fail to see your logic here. An individual component from the AR15/M4, cannot be discussed by itself, without bringing the entire platform into the discussion?

    I’ve always wondered if some sort of progressive spring could bring the smoothness of a H3 buffer without the risk of shortcycling the gun.

    I don't know, but I doubt they are a good idea as spring force is already increasing with displacement, all that would change is the rate. It is like the progressive income tax - it is not needed, as people who earn more already pay more. Same with progressive rifling. The bullet starts out at zero fps, so the rpm is already increasing at a controlled rate as the bullet accelerates.

    The closest you get to ideal in this application is a really low rate spring with good amount of preload.

    Compared to a higher rate spring of equal average force, the low rate spring provides more installed force and less force at recoil.

    Thats more along the lines of what I was thinking with a slight increase in rate at the end of the BCG travel.

    although this is for a Glock, this might be similar to what you were thinking
