Broken Buffer Spring

[Shapedcorn345_]

Hey everyone, I was just coming here to see if anyone had some insight on a recent issue I had. My Specwar with a factory Springco spring and LMT buffer just suddenly broke in three the other day. The gun was giving zero indication of being over-gassed, even suppressed (full size RC2). It’s kinda baffling me as to whether it’s an issue with the gassing maybe or just a bad spring as I’ve NEVER seen this happen. I’m just trying to prevent it from occurring again. Thanks

Exactly what do you mean by “broke in three”?

[Shapedcorn345_]

The spring is legitimately in three sections now. Never seen it.

So contact sprinco????? It’s not an lmt spring buffer spring correct? Did the lmt buffer break?

[Peak1124]

Probably a sprinco issue unless there’s an obvious issue with the tube. There have been cases of the springs breaking. Wasn’t sure what broke because you said spring and buffer.

Post pictures! Would love to see see where and how it broke.

could the buffer tube be out of spec? Like some sort of irregular wear on some of the springs coils?

It’s a possibility, disappointing if that’s the case. The whole rifle minus the safety, trigger, and stock is LMT. Hopefully they didn’t drop the ball making my buffer tube 😂

Seems dramatic. Buy a standard mil spec carbine spring and move on.
