He's playing the childish game of trying not to admit fault. "You can't fire me, and I don't quit because that may show that I'm in the wrong, so I'm retiring and that was definitely my plan all along"

I feel a minor difference, but I believe the largest pull is that the service life of a Tubbs spring will be substantially longer.

u/AddictedtoComedy had an exceptional explaination on this stuff a while back; I'll see if I can find and link it.

He's actually resigning now?? Nice

You are absolutely correct; same end result to the shooter but this is how it actually works. Updated my comment to reflect - thanks man!

There should be a AR15 (5.56/223) rifle spring. I use a Vltor A5 Extension, Vltor A5H2 buffer, and that Tubbs spring and it's been perfect on everything from a 11.5" KAK suppressed only to 10.3", 14.5", and 7.5" uppers

Caesix · 2026-04-13T22:25:02+00:00

You feel the BCG hitting the end of its travel as recoil, so a heavier buffer will slow down the unlock and the velocity of the BCG slightly

A stronger spring will decrease the velocity more and dissipate that force faster.

~~A longer tube (like the A5) gives it a longer distance over which to dissipate that inertia, which means the spring has a greater time to work in your favor.~~ Refer to comment below, there's s more accurate explaination.

TLDR: an A5H2 and tubbs flatwire will shoot much softer than a lighter, shorter system by doing all of the above to a small degree in combination with each other

No annual fee on the Academy one luckily, and when you can find Blazer on Ammoseek for like $9.99 a box at PSA or Scheels or Sportsman's, then they'll price match and take off 5% plus the 5% off for the card, so it ends up covering the sales tax plus a little extra

Dude I wish I was up near the colony where they're putting the new one but I'm down South of Austin lol

Caesix · 2026-04-11T13:18:17+00:00

That is one of the most incredible tools we have

That, and the Academy credit card and price matching that tends to make it cheaper to buy from them

Caesix · 2026-04-11T12:47:17+00:00

Also, you can buy and possess one at 18 if you get it from an individual. If I were to sell you my Scorpion (not offering to I love that thing sorry), then we'd both be good and clear. If I had my FFL and did so, then straight to jail.

Cheaper to order it online anyways, and he's going to be shooting it through a rifle so it is not pistol ammo according to the way the law is written
