Curious if anyone has used a Tubbs SS FW spring in their Grendel, and especially if ya tried/use the .308 version spring(42coil)?
6.5 Grendel with a tubbs flat spring question

I've got probably a dozen different buffer springs including the Tubbs flat wire. I've found the only thing it does uniquely is add frustration installing and removing it. Otherwise the Armalite AR10 carbine spring or Sprinco red springs are heavier and more consistent. I've got 1.2k rounds on the Sprinco red spring in my Grendel and it feels perfect. I also run the Sprinco red spring in an AR10. I have Sprinco blue springs in a 16" carbine and 10" SBR, both suppressed.

I put Tubb springs in every AR now. I shoot suppressed 100% of the time and I've found they very consistently reduce gas in the eyes and smooth recoil and cycling. I have the 36-coil in my 12" pistol, and the 42-coil in my 20" Valkyrie. They are both SMOOTH shooters.Last edited by snarkscarbine; 10-01-2019, 05:17 PM.

That has been my experience also. I guess the takeaway here is for some folks they work and for others, maybe not so good.

There a number of ways to skin goats, so to speak.

I've had MILSPEC springs in my rifles all my career. They have never jammed, broken or done anything other than compress and uncompress.
I'd rather save money and put it towards a better barrel.

My experience. It?s going to vary with your configuration, but my cans are very high-backpressure. (SAS and TBAC) the Tubb springs keep the bolt engaged longer than your normal piano-wire spring and allow chamber pressure to subside a little more before unlocking.
If you don?t see the value in it that?s fine, but I like the way my guns run when I switched them. They?re only about $25, which is definitely more than your average spring, but I guess I?d never calculated springs in terms of the number of barrels I could buy.Last edited by snarkscarbine; 10-02-2019, 02:07 AM.
