Thank you Wally. I have ordered some springs from McMaster in the pst, just not Bren striker recoil springs. I do suspect he MAY have had them made to his spec, but have NO real knowledge of such.

Hey Dave! As to the "nylon buffer" conversation, it all started with the question of the removal of the buffer plate and spring apparatus from the Historic Arms design. I have stopped worrying about the parts battering each other. If I ever see signs of it in the future, I will address it. I may still play around with these .99 cent nylon sleeves, but I am really happier that my L4 runs properly now. FINALLY!
