Tactical Springs & Machine Gunners Lube

Tactical Springs LLC and Machine Gunners Lube™ was born out of a need to supply Military and LEO Operators with mission specific springs and lubrication, utilizing superior materials and post-winding reliability enhancements. While most companies in the business make similar "claims", none have created products with the specific needs of operators dictating design and performance, but instead, take off-the-shelf commercial grade or competition grade materials, and re-package for .MIL and LEO target marketing purposes. Unfortunately, most environments a nd conditions these Operators work in are anything but commercial or competition scenarios. While important, the internal workings of your weapon are not as prominent in first impression observations such as high speed optics, suppressors and other "go fast" goodies, but seasoned professionals know that no matter how "high speed" the weapon platform appears, without functional reliability, it is about as useless as a really "tricked out" club. All of our products are designed based on specifically defined requests and feedback from bonafide Operators, with extensive training round counts accrued and downrange testing conducted prior to release. Our mission statement is simply to provide the highest degree of consistent and reliable functionality, along with absurdly long duty cycles in all operating environments.

Quite simply, after installing / using our springs, if you forget about us, we have done our job...(But please, feel free to come back to see us when you build your next project!!!)

WHAT MAKES OUR SPRINGS UNIQUE?

All our springs are constructed from Certified Chrome Silicon wirestock to ISO 9001:2008 quality standards to withstand extreme heat and highly cyclic rate. The certification rating ensures a consistency in the parent material of 95%, which translates to repeatable consistency in performance & function. Certified Valve Quality Chrome Silicon wire is used in very high stress applications such as, NASCAR, Formula One, Moto GP & Pro Stock racing motor valve springs. It is not uncommon in some of these applications for valve springs to see 15,000,000 compression cycles in one race. It is this extraordinary capability that made Chrome Silicon wire the obvious choice in our spring production vs. music wire used in OEM springs and by most aftermarket competitors. In addition, all of our Chrome Silicon springs are heat treated, stress relieved, and shot peened in separate post winding treatments. We also treat each spring with a proprietary, deep-penetrating, Re-Micronized (to .3 Micron particle size), inhibited, Molybdenum-Disulfide(MoS2) formulation to eliminate 90% of all mechanical wear on the spring. The combination of materials & processes result in a loss of no more than 5% in spring efficiency. We take our extractor springs one step further in the form of Cryogenic Processing. This computerized, ultra low temperature process (-320°F) increases the strength & wear life of the parent material through a change in microstructure resulting in less retained austenite and more uniformity.

Why cryogenics for the extractor spring and not our other springs? Due to the size of the extractor spring, high stress cyclic rates and asymmetrical temperature exposure, premature wear and or shortened spring life can occur. Cryogenics effectively combats these issues giving the spring a very predictable & uniform performance within the operation of the weapon cycle. The duty cycle of our buffer springs is well in excess of 750,000 cycles.

While we really don't know how long our extractor springs will last, round counts in excess of 120,000 ROUNDS (ongoing) are documented on a single extractor spring. This is a really stout spring, and while may they be used with either a black or blue extractor spring insert, OR a CRANE O-Ring, attempting to install both is totally unnecessary, as well as a daunting chore to install

CONSTRUCTION SPECS: CARBINE & RIFLE BUFFER SPRINGS:

  • ASTM Grade A877 Certified Valve Grade Chrome Silicon Wirestock
  • Heat Treated, Stress Relieved and Shot-Peened post winding (Our springs are REALLY shot-peened)
  • Impregnation / Plating with Re-Micronized Molybdenum Disulfide formulation
  • Hard plastic tube packaging for protected transport and easy storage
  • Optional Cryogenic Processing available upon request

ADVANTAGES:

  • Shortened "lock time" for faster sight recovery and platform stability
  • Consistent spring pressure throughout the duty cycle of the spring, resulting in fewer malfunctions related to spring operation. (Especially Type III malfunctions)
  • Improved & consistent cyclic operation. Spring will not change performance for many hundreds of thousands of rounds.
  • Greater resistance to heat induced performance degradation
  • Reduced cyclic rate with Enhanced or Extra Power springs and reduce / eliminate bolt bounce with optimal spring / buffer weight selection.
  • Reduced operating cost as replacement springs are not needed during the life of your upper receiver assembly. Less downtime and fewer trips to the armorer for spring replacement, in fact, this will most likely be the only buffer spring you will ever need for the duty cycle of your carbine or rifle!
  • Correct spring selection works reliably, consistently, and virtually indefinitely in all properly built and maintained SBR platforms.

BUFFER ACTION SPRINGS

THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTIONS IN THE INDUSTRY FOR OPTIMIZING THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR CARBINE

  • STANDARD Power Buffer Spring,“WHITE Spring” Equivalent spring load to a “fresh” Mil-Spec M4 Carbine Spring. This spring will perform reliably in any properly configured and maintained 5.56 Carbine, if you wish to maintain the performance of a “fresh” Mil-Spec load spring without concern for replacement. This is the best choice for shooters and purists that wish to maintain the performance of most factory supplied Mil-Spec springs, but do not wish to be concerned with frequent replacement of same or do not have the time or inclination to seek enhanced performce options. The WHITE spring is recommended for 1st Gen M&P's, most RRA's, most Colt 6920 LE's, 6.8 Shortie Piston Guns, and when training with SRTA and other low power and light charged “budget” rounds. Color Coded WHITE.

  • ENHANCED Power Buffer Spring, “BLUE Spring” Offers improved performance with most non-suppressed 7.5"-12.5" shorties, middies, and all mid-length uppers with adjustable gas blocks. Best performance is usually achieved using buffers ranging from ST-2T, H2, DPMS Extra Heavy . Will run in some RRA'S and some Colt 6920 LE's, but use of heavier buffers may not be possible with the aforementioned as well as most uppers with light weight carrier groups (VTAC, etc.) Color Coded BLUE.

  • Extra Power Buffer Spring, “RED Spring” Best option for 16"+ barrels with carbine length gas system platforms with standard front sight towers and H buffers, gas piston guns, *some* suppressed shorties, and 9mm. Color Coded RED.

  • 7.62 X 51 , 6.8, ETC. Applications: Several of our OEM clients are utilizing the “RED Spring” in both their fixed and collapsible stock platforms. Please call us to discuss successful “recipes”.

  • In addition to use in 5.56 Fixed Stock Rifles, our “GREEN Spring” is just the ticket for use in the VLTOR A-5 Stock System using their standard weight (5.3 Oz.) buffer for maximum versatility with almost any 5.56 upper BBL configuration, both with or without a “can”.

  • Buffer is inserted into color coded end of spring for fast I.D. of installed spring by Operator.

  • Call Tech Support if unsure which spring you should order at 866.515.AR15 (2715).

** Please NOTE** Due to the inconsistency & minimal power factors used with low power SRTA training or SIMS Rounds, use the Standard (WHITE) Spring or designated reduced power buffer springs for these training operations.

MACHINE GUNNERS LUBE™

Machine Gunners Lube™ was developed to address specific requests from gun team leaders for a lube that would keep their machine guns properly lubricated during extended durations of full auto fire. Like most good gun teams, they work hard to stay on top of not letting the guns run dry. While many currently available lubes maintain lubricity when running "wet", some current war zone deployments do not favor traditional frequent and liberal applications, due to their propensity to attract fine desert silt particles, thereby increasing the risk of malfunctions. Our mission was to formulate a lube that would perform and protect weapon platforms in extreme environments subject to high heat, humidity, evaporative, and mechanical wear, even when applied lightly. Machine Gunners Lube™ meets these standards for all firearms ranging from handguns through .50 caliber machine guns.

Machine Gunners Lube™ is made from fully synthetic Group V base stocks. Poly Ester chains in Group V base stocks offer superior protection against thermal breakdown versus PAO's and GTL's, and contain significant natural solvent properties for self cleaning capabilities. In addition to minimizing carbon accumulation, the Poly Ester base oil acts as a water dispersant and corrosion inhibitor, protecting the lubricated parts in desert, jungle, and arctic climatic environments. Unique to Machine Gunners Lube™ is a proprietary re-micronized (0.3 micron) inhibited Molybdenum Disulfide (MOS2) component in colloidal suspension. In layman's terms, this means that the particles remain suspended within the lubricant, and do not segregate to the bottom of the container. Our inhibited MOS2 is specifically modified to retard, rather than induce corrosion. This moly component allows for a solid lubrication barrier in conjunction with the hydraulic lubrication afforded by the host synthetic lubricant. The re-micronized particles are small enough to penetrate the molecular lattice structure of the carbon, stainless, or chromium plated steel working surfaces of the weapon, where they are released under the heat of use to maintain the initial solid or "boundary" lubrication layer. No other moly additives on the market contain particles this small, nor do they share the unique ability to remain in colloidal suspension. Our proprietary manufacturing process allows the uniform distribution of the re-micronized MOS2 both within and upon the lubricated surfaces of the weapon. This ability provides a further advantage over other gun oils in the form of lubrication retention when the host / hydraulic lubricant is removed by mechanical, chemical, or environmental means. Basically, the weapon is still protected and has a functional advantage even when appearing "dry". The melting point of the MOS2 component is in excess of +2700°F !!! MSDS Available upon request to info@tacticalsprings.com.

  • High shear strength, and not susceptible to mechanical wear. High shear strength equates to increased surface tension, which in turn, keeps your parts coated for extended durations. This property also allows the use of Machine Gunners Lube™ for personal carry firearms, as it does not "run off" the pistol.
  • Stability in extreme heat, maintaining lubrication properties in temperatures exceeding +650°F.
  • Pour point of -50°F for reliable use in arctic deployment.
  • Contains NO Chlorinated Esters or PFTE (TEFLON®.)
  • Reduced carbon fouling deposition, and detergent properties make cleaning residue much easier and faster, even with .50 caliber platforms.
  • Available "Battle Bottle™" containers are sized to fit in any spare battery storage compartment found on most carbine platforms (grips, vertical foregrips, stocks) allowing the operator quick access to an ample quantity of lube in the field prior to return to FOB.
  • Unconditional "NO B.S." Money Back Satisfaction Guarantee!
