A2 buffer to Carbine buffer

[Zachary Rehbein]

All,
This is my first post. I've been lurking for a long time now. My question is that I want to Change my AR's buttstock to a carbine length Magpul MOE, so I can swap my varmit upper with a 16" upper. Is there anything I need to be concerned with as far as the buffer weight or can I just get the new buffer tube, spring, and carbine buffer and be g2g?

Thanks in advance.

Need castle nut and end plate.

RIGHT, BUT WHAT ABOUT BUFFER WEIGHT AS COMPARED TO THE CARBINE GAS SYSTEM VS. RIFLE GAS SYSTEM?

From my experience the heaviest buffer that the rifle will run reliably with is the smoothest.

My Colt 6940 (16", carbine gas) came with a H3 (which was good) but I went heavier with the HSS and like it better. The standard, H and H2 will work fine, they just aren't as smooth.

Kinda depends on the rifle, how it feeds, and how fast or slow you want the recoil impulse.

Depends on your rig but I would use at least an H. I use H3. Shoot to figure out what's best.

Thanks guys,
Sorry for the all caps above.

I guess I'll give it a go and post back the results.
