It's still showing stuck at the Linthicum Heights Distribution Center. My other packages show they are in Hazzard County, but no movement on the Tubb Spring.....
That's some B.S.
Tubb's AR 10 Buffer Springs Anyone?

Got the spring just a few minutes ago. That's a lot of spring to go into that carbine buffer tube. That and a 12 oz buffer. It's mighty cramped in there. Rifle cycles fine with the charging handle, but it will be some time before I can get it to a range. Gotta deal with that pesky >29 inch SBR thing.

Mine shipped from Tubb's today. Woo-hoo!

I never really thought it would be a true flat wire spring, but it is. The AR10 spring is 20 inches long but compresses to go into the buffer tube. It may be me, but I thought racking the bolt with the charging handle felt much smoother with the Tubb spring than the regular carbine spring.
Hopefully you'll not experience the delay in receiving your spring like I did.
Have fun!

Yes, they're flat alright! I have them in all my ARs.
I've got my other one(AR 10 spring) crammed into a carbine length tube.

If you are like me, you're going to think to yourself, how is that spring going to fit into that buffer tube? But it does.
That's not what she said...

I personally don't know of any gun shop that stocks this spring. Order it and it will be at your front door in less than 2 weeks.
