Good enough wasn't good enough, so I'm proud to introduce the Gen 2 AR-15/M16 Flat Wire Recoil Spring! Most notably, if you're familiar with the original FWS, the Gen 2 FWS fits over buffers much better now!
Round wire springs has been the standard since the inception of the AR-15 in the 1950's. Compared to round wire springs made of music wire, stainless steel, or even chrome silicon, our Enhanced Flat Wire Spring does numerous things better than its round wire counterparts. Our Flat Wire Spring places more load on the bolt when it is in battery which causes dwell time to increase slightly which drops chamber pressures before extraction and reduces rearward BCG velocity. When the bolt is locked open, our Gen 2 Enhanced Flat Wire Spring places the same amount of force on the bolt as traditional round wire springs.
Why does this matter you may ask? Our Enhanced Flat Wire Spring acts like an extra-power round wire spring, yet cycles as easily as a standard buffer spring. The higher preload and lower compressed load also means recoil is smoothed out and bolt bounce is typically eliminated, even when running ultra-lightweight buffers. That annoying spring rattle or "twang" sound is greatly reduced or eliminated, too.
Bring your AR into the 21st century with a Bexar Arms Enhanced Flat Wire Recoil Spring!
100% Made in the USA
A note from Phillip: If your spring still has some rattle or twang once installed, try using some of your favorite automotive grease on the buffer and spring. I personally prefer the full synthetic Lucas X-TRA Heavy Duty "green" type of grease. Your spring should now be completely twang free!

First Upgrade You Should Make!
This flat wire is awesome. I have both a captured spring and 2 of these flat springs. When shooting the two rifles suppressed both devices do an excellent job of getting rid of the “twang!”. The flat spring is a bargain for what it does. Every build I do going forward will have one of these. A must have in my books!

AR-15/M16 ENHANCED FLAT WIRE RECOIL SPRING - GEN 2
I purchased 2 of these flat wire springs. One for my Springfield Saint and one for my 11.5” pistol build. These things are pretty sweet. No more twang. Installation was a little more difficult than the Mil-Spec ones I had. It’s because of the flat edge. No big deal though, I used a little grease and just screwed the spring into the buffer tube. I would highly recommend this spring. It has to be one of the cheaper and easier upgrades one can make to an AR. Service was quick and it even came with a hand written thank you note. They have definitely earned more of my business.

Great flat wire!
I'm very pleased with the performance of this new buffer spring! It fits my buffer perfectly and feels great to shoot. Plus, it shipped quickly and customer service has always been 10/10 with Bexar.
