Insight regarding suppressor & buffer spring / weight
Not necessarily a specific question, more just info based off what I experienced shooting today and looking for your opinions / thoughts.
Basic Anderson AR. 16” barrel, all milspec parts or whatever generic parts Anderson used, nothing fancy. Brand new Recce 5 suppressor with their EZ brake installed and shot for the first time today.
I assumed that shooting suppressed, especially with a traditional style suppressor that has higher back pressure than a flow through, that I’d possibly have issues with feeding / cycling. But it shot absolutely just fine. Normal standard ejection pattern. No issues feeding or cycling, just absolutely fine.
I brought a strike industries flat wire carbine spring and H2 buffer weight as a backup in case I had issues. I bought them for an SBR I just built, assuming I’d need them over milspec stuff due to the suppressor.
I did test both setups and honestly I prefer the milspec spring and weight over the flat wire spring and heavier weight. Is that normal? Why does all my research say that I NEED to change my spring and weight when I tested it and had zero issues and honestly better feel and sound with the milspec stuff over the “better” or should I say “more appropriate” stuff?
Just looking for insight, thoughts, opinions, from anybody who actually took the time to read all this. Thanks all!!!
