Guys, I'm getting really frustrated and looking for some expert help. I just got back from a deployment and received my POF 308 rifle. I bought a PRS Magpul stock to install on it and have found out that there is very little info from POF, Magpul, or the FFA dealer I bought the gun from on the exact parts needed to install this stock. I have actually gotten several different stories and or some quick parts thrown out in a 30 second phone conversation as to what is needed, worse yet when you go to buy these parts they are very poorly labeled and not very descriptive. I do know I needed a different buffer tube, spring and buffer, but I think I have still ordered the wrong thing. I have read elsewhere that you need an A2 style carbine buffer/tube and spring, but like I said the parts aren't very well labeled on the various sites I have visited.
<span style="font-weight: bold">Eventually what I ordered was a DPMS LR-308 Buffer and spring and a DPMS receiver Extension buffer tube AR 15/a1-a2</span> . I put it all together and the first thing I noticed at the range was the when the bolt is locked to the rear, it is not back far enough to actually catch a round when it slides forward. I can manually pull it back and insert a round, and even when I fire the rifle most of the time it chambers a new round like it should, but not always. It also doesn't lock to the rear after the last round is shot. I am quite sure the buffer is too long, at the very least. But for all I know it's all wrong. I put the old buffer that came with the collapsible stock into the rifle and it allows the bolt to go back far enought to chamber a round, but ts catching on the actual bolt. I actually can't even remember now if it is suppose to catch on the bolt or bolt carrier, but my first thought was that it should be catching on the bolt carrier. Either way I know this buffer is too short. I need some help. I bought all my parts at midwayusa.
