Frequently Asked Questions

What tools are needed to install a JP Silent Captured Spring into a Law Tactical Folder?

You will need a castle nut wrench, such as the Fix-it Sticks model shown, to tighten the castle nut. Basic tools for disassembling the existing buffer system and installing the new components are also required. Ensure the firearm is unloaded before starting.

How do you ensure the JP Silent Captured Spring is properly installed in a Law Tactical Folder?

Proper installation involves carefully threading the receiver extension to capture the buffer retaining pin. After installing the captured spring, check for any play. If present, use the provided shims to eliminate wiggle room between the spring and the receiver extension for optimal performance.

What are the benefits of installing a JP Silent Captured Spring with a Law Tactical Folder?

The JP Silent Captured Spring is designed to smooth out the firearm's cycle of operations, reduce recoil impulse, and mitigate bolt bounce. This can lead to a quieter and smoother shooting experience when combined with a folding stock mechanism like the Law Tactical Folder.

Does the Law Tactical Folder use a standard rear end plate for buffer retention?

No, the Law Tactical Folder does not use a standard rear end plate for buffer retention. The receiver extension itself, when properly threaded, captures the buffer retaining pin, which holds the buffer and spring in place.
