Nice job bro! It's really about time someone performs a tutorial with al the unneccesary table talk. I just got an education on a product that I will be getting for my 7.5 Epic Build. Thanks buddy!
Listen, you were lil nervous but, you finished well.. informative & direct. Not sure how I managed to not remember I didn't need that retaining pin on this system. Had it in and it caused me problems
There is no deadblow effect to the SRS, which is why i dont use them any more. Eugene Stoner designed the AR with a deadblow buffer system to eliminate bolt bounce. Without moving weight(s) inside the buffer, you risk bolt bounce and that can either cause an out of battery detonation, or a click and no bang. Had an AR 9mm experience an OoBD, and luckily the gun and myself were unharmed, besides my pride and the mag release. I use sprinco springs and standard buffers. Because thats how the rifle was designed to operate. The Kynshot hydraulic buffer is the better alternative to the traditional buffer. Flat wire springs are nice too. Grease can quiet the cheese grater sound. And before anyone says GrEaSe AtTrAcTs DiRt... clean your gun, ding dong. Buffer tubes have a weep hole in the back and carb cleaner exists.
Anyone else hate that grease? It was the 1st grease I tried and found that it seems to oxidize quicker than anticipated and necessitates more frequent cleanings. Threw my tube away. Good demo about changing weights. I have several units but never thought about switching the weights. Could come in handy. Thanks
The weight side threaded retainer comes from Armaspec with red Loctite. You got lucky being able to remove it so easily. I've needed to use a heat gun.
Looks like your review, tuning and install is for the Stealth Recoil Spring Gen 1 and Gen 2. Gen 3 has the cap machined into the recoil rod, looks like the method changes with the newest generation. The rear buffer block has a "pin" now rather than a screw as well.
We will be doing a review and install/tune on the new Armaspec SRS Gen 4 Kit here in the near future. Think about subbing up since we have some new stuff coming out shortly, and thanks for the comment.
@@Matt-mb4go Wish I could be of help but we might skip the Gen 3 and go straight to the Gen 4 Kit. Although, now that I think about it, probably not when we build our .300 Blackout Pistol AR-15 "Truck Gun". Think about subbing up since we have some new stuff coming out shortly, and thanks for the comment.
actually id say performance wise they are about the same. i have never owned jp but installed them for friends and tested. both suppressed and unsupressed. now the armaspec i actually do own and to me its easier and quicker to make adjustments on when needed. but if youre looking for performance gains as far as one vs the other id say they are pretty similar in function. nothing at all wrong with the jp by any means. Both of them beat the geissele super 42 in performance, which is what I had been running for years until these shock style buffer systems came out. the problem with geissele now is price honestly, when compared to the price of armaspec. not that the performance isnt great from them too, it is hands down the best buffer system until u get to jp and armaspec. with that said the super 42 is quicker and easier to change for damn sure, and works very well for what it is. anyhow theres my 2 cent rant
I’m running a 16in barrel mid-length gas system with a JP low mass stainless steel BCG and a H3 buffer with armaspec and it ejects brass perfectly at 3 o’clock, I did have the H2 buffer and was ejecting at about 130 o’clock, but with the H3 it’s the smoothest it’s ever ran and so quit as well . But most mid-length gas systems you wanna run H2 for smoother recoil. Armaspec makes it easy and affordable to swap out if need to and that’s awesome ya know. !
That's so awesome man. I'm glad to hear that it's running so well. I'm getting ready to build another upper in .300 Blackout that will use a low mass Odin Works BCG. I'll definitely keep in mind what you said about the H3 Weight when I finally build it's dedicated lower receiver to make it my new truck gun. Think about subbing up since we have some new stuff coming out shortly, and thanks for the comment.
I would like to know from your experience if Armaspec SRS is compatible with Sylvan arms 4 gen fold adapter in traditional AR15 with 16' barrel and if YES , what weight C or H will you install?
I can't say for curtain 100% that this will work with the Sylvan Arms Gen 4 Folding Stock/Arm Brace Adapter but from what I can see I don't see why it would not. I would recommend getting there Gen 4 if you haven't already purchased one that way you have the "C", "H", and "H2" weights already in the package to easily adust it, and right now they have a father's day sale going on where you can get the Gen 4 Kit for only $3.00 more than the Gen 3 Kit. Use code "fathersdaysrskit" at checkout and receive 20% off. Think about subbing up since we have some new stuff coming out shortly, and thanks for the comment!
Is there a way to order the H3 for my 6in Barrel, Blackout Build and the alternative weights also all at the same time? When I get done I want to be ready. Also when I get out of Suppressor Jail, this may change my BCG Cycling also.
I've got the smb9 from armaspec. When I threw it in my gun, it felt like it had a super heavy back wall like on a bow and after I pulled the charging handle on my 3rd cycle test, it just felt stuck. Ever had that issue?
Great video. I am building a 450 bushmaster BCA 18" I believe mid length gas. What weight SRS would you suggest ? BCA in a video suggested a H2 with the standard spring system. Newly subbed.
I would recommend getting the Armaspec SRS-BB which is specifically for the .450 Bushmaster. If your going to go with the standard spring system then I would recommend either the H2 or H3 weights, maybe starting with the H2 since it's right in the middle. Luckily extra weights do not cost all that much. Good luck with the build, and thanks for the sub.
I have a 16 inch barrel on my AR 15. I’m wondering if I purchased the wrong way I just ordered last night from Opticsplanet the carbine weight! Will this be too light?
Yes, I recommend using the Armaspec SRS in both of your 10.5" SBR's. You'll just use a heavier weight for the .300 blackout. I've been using one in my 10.5" 5.56 AR-15 Pistol Build for quite a while, and I just put one in a 10.5" .300 blackout AR-15 Pistol Build, but haven't tuned the blackout yet.
Sooo.... Im an idiot and purchased the srs9 6.4 for my Nato 223/556. Yes, I shot with it installed and liked the recoil and feel supringly without any misfeeds or fte's However the only problem (which led me to the conclusion i purchased the wrong srs) is the bolt would not lock back after last round. Again, Yes i know NOW the srs is made for the 9mm but im not sure i can return to exchange. So with that being said. The only difference i can tell is the black plastic buffer is just an 1/8th of an inch too long which stops the bolt from moving back enough to catch. Would running that weight with that spring configuration damage the rifle if i corrected the length of said buffer? Or is it mainly the length of the buffers that makes them different? Opinions or suggestions? Let the roast begin!🤦🏼♂️
The length should be the same it's the weight that is different. Can you manually lock the bolt back with the charging handle? If so then it's not the length but the weight is too much for the gas to push it back enough to catch.
Hello, sorry for the late response. As far as a recommendation for an Armaspec SRS buffer weight. I would originally say that you'd probably be best running the H2 weight, however I would also recommend that you buy the extra weights and spacers for H3 and H weights. If your going to do that then I'd say buy the Armaspec SRS System with an H3 weight and also buy the H and H2 weights cause doing it that way will save you $4.⁰⁰ overall. Hopefully that makes sense. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks. I'll be adding a build video of the 10.5" AR-15 Pistol that is using this Armaspec Stealth Recoil Spring soon, and that video will have some shooting action in it. So be sure to subscribe to the channel to be kept up to date on new videos.
@@DarrylO39 standard weight carbine SRS w/ a light weight bolt carrier. Works great on mine. 10.5 PSA upper. But there are lots of variance in all the gas port holes in barrels. My upper needed the light weight carrier to cycle subsonic reliably without a can.
So I just got one of these recently and when I put it into my buffer tube it never sat flush against the detent pin. It was ever so slightly too short and the bolt never went into battery when I racked the gun. Is this an issue with the buffer itself or is my buffer tube out of spec?
I'm not entirely certain as I've never had this issue. I would probably lean towards the buffer tube being out of spec. Luckily buffer tubes are cheap enough to purchase and test. If you replace the buffer tube and still have the issue, then I would contact Armaspec. That's the route I'd go. Hope that helps, and make sure to let me know what you figure out.
Sorry for the late response, but somehow, I never received notification of your message. First off, let me say thanks for watching. The Ammo I believe was Wolf 5.56 Bass Case stuff, the BCG is an Aero Precision, and honestly I have no idea what the Gas port size is, but can tell you that it's a Ballistic Advantage 10.5" 5.56x45mm black nitride barrel. I looked on their website, but it doesn't list the gas port hole size. I hope this helps you in someway.

Sorry for the late response to your comment. You don't need to change the spring weight as the actual weights already account for heavier spring pressure.
