Leaf Spring Revolvers

[sloppyjoe4by]

I am running a SOA with AAL's and a shackle reversal. I am considering adding shackle revolvers but I wanted quality insight as to how people running a similar setup like it, and how long they have been running it; also any problems or dislikes with them would be great and very helpful.. I really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Adam

I had them when I was SUA for a number of years and they worked great. I'm now SOA and have them on as well but have not really tested them. My thoughts are that I will most likely take them off once the springs break-in a little more. A properly set-up SOA rig should NOT need them. Also, not sure If I would use them with a shackle reversal up front either SUA or SOA. If you already have them...go for it, test 'em out. If not, I wouldn't bother.

They won't work up front with a shackle reversal.

IMO they aren't worth it period, but it's facts that with a shackle reveral up they are a terrible idea.

Not necessarily. I also said I wouldn't do it either with a shackle reversal. However, I have seen it done and it did work fine for that particular person.

Why not? People use buggy leaf setups with shackle reversals all the time. What's the difference?

Whether you're SUA or SOA, you can still get additional flex from the Revolvers. Whether the additional flex is worth the money is for you to decide.
