Sprinco Blue enhanced power AR-15 carbine buffer spring with blue color-coded end

Sprinco Blue Enhanced Power AR-15 Buffer Spring

Will has run a Sprinco Blue buffer spring with a BCM H2 buffer in his BCM RECCE-16 for a year. Much softer shooting, easier follow-up shots, no malfunctions and an easy drop-in install. Verdict: Good.

Blue Force Gear Vickers Combat Applications Sling

Will runs a standard (unpadded) Blue Force Gear Vickers sling in FDE with QD swivels and the plastic-ball adjuster on his BCM RECCE-16. Solid, stays put, no slip. Verdict: Good.

BCM KeyMod QD Sling Mount

Will runs two BCM KeyMod QD sling mounts on his rifle for range and competition use. Low-profile, stays tight, and the QD swivel locks without unexpected releases. Verdict: Good.

BCM H2 Carbine Buffer

Will runs a BCM H2 carbine buffer with a Sprinco Blue spring in his BCM RECCE-16. Simple toolless install that cleaned up ejection and softened recoil over about 2,000 rounds. Verdict: Good.
