I did see those Tactical Springs on your website. But I wanted to make sure I bought the right springs the first time.
Thanks!

Het Grant, i bought 5 of these from you and have about 7k to 8k on these springs.I think you said you replace yours once a year right? Or did you replace them on round count?Also i dont think they make the round wire springs any more correct?, they have the flat wire springs now.Also to Demigod,These spring's are worth it in price, this is the one spring(mag springs also) that you DONT want to go cheap on.Also if you shoot alot i recommed that you buy some ISMI mag springs from Grant as i have put many rounds through them and they still feel very strong.
I have had very good luck with ISMI springs.
I don't really think one needs a chrome silicone action spring as they are not subject to heat and springs are super easy to replace in the M16 type rifles.
Mil-spec springs are plenty good but it is difficult to know if mil-apec is what you are getting when you buy them.
A reliable source I use is here, they carry real mil-spec springs along with ISMI and their own chrome silicone action springs. Good stuff.

A spring doesn't sit in a buffer tube fully compressed unless someone left the rifle with the bolt locked back.
Once a spring takes the initial set it isn't going to compress any further.
Repeatative cyclic action and excessive heat, not compression, will cause a spring to fail.
A chrome silicone spring will allow many more repeatative cycles than a stainless spring.
Most people do not fire the number of rounds necessary to allow the advantage of chrome silicone action springs.
I, uh, I have not heard that before but it explains why I prefer chrome silicone magazine springs to stainless steel.
