SCHMID AR-15 CARBINE BUFFER SPRING CHROME SILICON BLACK OXIDE is a straightforward carbine-style buffer spring for the AR-15 platform. Built with chrome silicon and finished in black oxide, it is a clean, practical choice for replacement use, fresh lower builds, or general-purpose carbine recoil system setups.

Chrome silicon spring material is widely used where repeated cycling and resistance to spring set matter. In recoil-spring applications, it is commonly valued for holding its properties well under repeated compression and high round counts, making it a strong material choice for a hard-working AR buffer spring.

The black oxide finish adds a subdued, non-reflective surface and is commonly used to provide mild corrosion resistance on steel parts. Put simply, this Schmid spring keeps to the essentials: the right platform, the right style, and proven materials for a standard carbine recoil system.

If you need a dependable AR-15 carbine buffer spring from a known OEM source, the SCHMID AR-15 CARBINE BUFFER SPRING CHROME SILICON BLACK OXIDE is a solid no-nonsense part that belongs in the bin for builds, repairs, and spares.

SCHMID MIL-SPEC HARDENED STEEL BLACK OXIDE RECEIVER EXTENSION CASTLE NUT is a small part that does serious work on an AR build. This mil-spec receiver extension nut is made to secure the receiver extension and lock plate in place on an adjustable-stock AR-15 setup, giving the lower receiver assembly the proper retention it needs where it counts.

Schmid’s mil-spec version is built from hardened steel and finished in black oxide, giving you a tougher and more purpose-built part than bargain-bin hardware that cuts corners on material or finish. On a hard-use rifle, that matters. A castle nut takes real torque, and it needs to hold up when the stock assembly is properly installed and staked.

This version also includes staking cuts, which is one of the details serious builders look for. Those cuts give you the proper surface for staking the end plate into the nut after installation, helping the assembly resist loosening over time under recoil, handling, transport, and general hard use. It is a simple part, but it is one of those places where using a proper mil-spec component is just good judgment.

If you are finishing out a lower, replacing worn hardware, or building an AR the right way from the start, the SCHMID MIL-SPEC HARDENED STEEL BLACK OXIDE RECEIVER EXTENSION CASTLE NUT is a clean, dependable choice backed by a respected OEM name in the AR parts world.

A Straightforward 9-Pellet 00 Buckshot Load

Stars & Stripes Defense CBUCK9 is a traditional 12 gauge 2-3/4 inch 00 buckshot load built around nine lead pellets and a published 1200 feet-per-second muzzle velocity. It is for the shotgun owner who wants a conventional nine-pellet 00 buck configuration for pattern testing, training, preparedness, hunting where lawful, or other appropriate uses.

The familiar nine-pellet payload makes it easy to compare against other common 12 gauge 00 buck loads. That does not mean every shotgun will pattern it the same way. Barrel length, choke selection, ammunition lot, distance, and the individual shotgun all affect pattern size and point of impact. Pattern this load in your own firearm before relying on it for a particular application.

What the 2-3/4 Inch Configuration Means

This is a standard 2-3/4 inch 12 gauge shell, appropriate only for shotguns chambered for 2-3/4 inch shells or longer. It is not a 3-inch magnum load, which can make it a practical option for shooters who want a common full-size 00 buckshot configuration without stepping into longer-shell recoil and capacity tradeoffs.

The load is made in Italy and packaged in a 10-round box. That box size is useful for confirming function, checking patterns at realistic distances, or keeping a manageable quantity on hand. Full cases contain 25 boxes for a total of 250 rounds.

Who Should Choose CBUCK9?

This is a sensible choice for the buyer looking for straightforward 12 gauge 00 buckshot rather than a highly specialized premium load. It makes the most sense when the priority is a conventional nine-pellet payload, a standard 2-3/4 inch shell, and the ability to establish how the chosen shotgun patterns with that specific ammunition.

Always verify shotgun chamber length, choke suitability, local hunting rules, and safe ammunition-handling practices before purchase or use. Ammunition is non-returnable, so confirm compatibility before ordering.

The CCI Rimfire Shotshell Part #39 transforms a standard 22 Long Rifle firearm into a practical pest-control tool. Loaded with a payload of fine #12 shot rather than a traditional bullet, this unique rimfire load is designed specifically for close-range pests where a conventional projectile may be unnecessary or undesirable.

Many shooters know this type of ammunition by informal names such as snake shot, rat shot, or pest-control loads. Whatever the name, the purpose remains the same: providing a wider pattern at very short distances to improve the odds of hitting small, fast-moving pests. Around barns, feed rooms, workshops, campsites, gardens, and fence lines, these loads have earned a loyal following among farmers, ranchers, trappers, outdoorsmen, and property owners.

The CCI shotshell uses a capsule containing fine #12 shot that disperses after leaving the barrel. Unlike a conventional bullet, the shot pattern spreads quickly, making it easier to connect with small targets at close range. CCI specifically markets this load for short-range pest control and easier hits on nuisance animals.

Because the shot pattern spreads rapidly, these loads are intended for very short distances. They are ideal for snakes encountered around outbuildings, rodents around feed storage, small pests in gardens, and similar situations where precision rifle accuracy is less important than placing a cloud of shot onto a small moving target.

Popular Pairings:
CCI Rimfire Shotshells work particularly well in 22 LR revolvers, bolt-action rifles, lever-action rifles, and single-shot firearms. Many rural property owners keep a box on hand specifically for pest-control situations where conventional ammunition may not be the best choice.

Why Keep a Box Around?
Most ammunition is purchased for hunting, target shooting, or personal defense. Rimfire shotshells fill a completely different role. They are the type of ammunition you may not use every week, but when you need them, nothing else works quite the same. For many farm and ranch owners, a box of CCI shotshells is simply part of the standard equipment kept alongside a good 22 rifle or revolver.

For generations, CCI shotshell ammunition has been one of the most practical specialty loads available for the 22 Long Rifle platform. Lightweight, effective at close range, and easy to carry, it remains a useful solution for dealing with nuisance pests without stepping up to a shotgun.

CCI Uppercut 22 LR 32 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point ammunition is purpose-built for shooters who rely on compact rimfire handguns and want more than traditional 22 LR plinking performance. Designed as CCI's first rimfire round for defensive use, Uppercut uses a specialized 32 grain jacketed hollow point bullet engineered for reliable expansion and practical penetration from short semi-automatic pistol barrels.

Unlike standard lead round nose or copper-plated rimfire loads, CCI Uppercut features a true jacketed hollow point projectile with nose skiving to help the petals peel back consistently. That bullet design is intended to support full expansion while retaining enough weight to reach meaningful penetration depths, giving the shooter a more serious option for 22 LR personal protection, backup carry, and defensive rimfire applications.

CCI optimized this load for semi-automatic handguns with 2.5" to 4" barrels, making it especially relevant for compact 22 LR pistols used for carry, training, or low-recoil defensive practice. The unwaxed bullet helps reduce fouling and improve feeding across changing temperatures, while CCI's legendary priming and propellant consistency support reliable ignition when rimfire reliability matters most.
