Just wondering if anyone ever used the Wolf extra power Buffer/Return spring?
Anyone have any problems with them, are they too strong?
 
I used one in my 10.5" AR... yes, it was too strong. The bolt would not hold open after the last shot. Went stock and all was well.
 
I have been using one for a while in a Bushmaster carbine lower with H2 buffer, with both 14.5" and 16" uppers, M16 bolt carrier, and a mix of Armalite and NHMTG mags with Magpul followers shooting 55gr FMJ LakeCity standard fare ammo.
It works really well for me, but I also had no problems with the standard buffer spring. The Wolf spring just really chambers a round with authority, and maybe in more adverse conditions than 5 or 10 round mags at the range with slow NON-RAPID fire, they may help with functioning.
As a side note - when using a friends mag, shooting hollow point 45gr rounds, it failed to chamber a round (FTF) the bolt didn't move back far enough (short stroke), or moved forward too fast and the mag couldn't push a round up fast enough.
So keep this in mind.

If you got some spare cash, try it out, but I don't really think its necessary.

Scott.
 
don't shoot the hollow points in an AR. the bullets have trouble feeding and there is a real good chance you'll push the bullet into the casing. makes for an interesting moment when you pull the trigger.
 
Wrenchgod and I both had some serious problems with the extra power buffer springs, worked well with some ammo and not with others. At days end we both went with standard springs and H or H2 buffers and life was grand.

Hollowpoints are fine in an AR if they are properly crimped. Most of the commercial 45 gr stuff is not.
