I just got this Sig 556. Very well loved, but I spruced it up with some aftermarket parts. Decided to put in a new recoil spring in case the old one was worn out. I got a Wolff spring, but it is much longer than the original. It also isn't braided like the one that the gun came with. Is it supposed to be cut? What is the correct length?
I'm using the CMMG 5.7 8" conversion with a traditional baffled can. I switched from the recommended standard buffer spring and carbine buffer to a Sprinco blue (+15% strength) buffer spring and an H2 buffer. After the first round in a mag, the bolt closes on an empty chamber. I assume mag friction is enough to slow the carrier that it is short stroking, but I'm not totally sure. I'm going to put a standard buffer spring in, but if anyone has experienced something similar and wants to save me the headache, please advise.

I am looking for an optic mount that will replace the rear sight on my Ishapore 2A1. I want to keep the ability to use stripper clips, so I'm not mounting anything to the receiver.
The Galati S&K [No. 1 Mark 3 Scout Weaver Style Mount] won't fit a 2A1 per the product page. Is anyone aware of any other options? Thanks!
