Buffers & Springs

**R1pper** · 08-09-07, 21:38

Is there a difference b/t a carbibe and a standard A2 buffer and can I use a standard buffer and spring in a carbine.??? Thank you very much in advance.

The different is in the length of a rifle buffer and a CAR buffer. The springs are also different. You can use a CAR length buffer & spring in a rifle length stock if you buy a spacer to make up for the additional length of the rifle length receiver extension. You can't use a rifle length buffer & spring in a CAR length stock (CAR receiver extension is too short).

Hows about a sticky for the buffer stuff?

Ok everyone. I kinda understand the carbine barrel and h2 buffer thing.

What if I have a full rifle length gas system, 20 inch barrel and want to replace the fixed stock with a m4 style collapsible stock. Which buffer would I need to use?

Thanks.
