ikemg13 I've wondered about a thrust washer in the buffer tube to help smooth the springs tension. I know we have the application in motorcycle / automotive coils for it. Ever though about it?
sonofstate At first I read that as the lead lapping rod and thought "wouldn't lead be too soft" then realized it was the lead lapping rod not lead lapping rod.... And that's the beauty of the written English language 3 likes
