Product Description
ALG Defense AK Braided Main Spring — Premium Durability for AK Platforms
Upgrade your AK’s reliability with the ALG Defense AK Braided Main Spring, a heavy-duty, high-life replacement spring engineered to resist set and deliver consistent bolt carrier timing under sustained use. Built for builders, armorers, and range junkies, this braided main spring improves longevity and function compared to standard single-strand springs—especially in high-round-count, rapid-fire, or suppressed builds.
Standard AK springs can fatigue over time, causing sloppy bolt timing and inconsistent extraction. The braided design reduces spring-set, evens out force delivery, and maintains reliable cycling across varying ammo types and environmental conditions—perfect for those searching for “AK recoil spring upgrade,” “braided AK spring,” or “ALG Defense AK parts.”
