Looking to add an A5 extension to my DD5V4 with can. Is there anything special I need to order or can I just order the RE-10A5SR VLTOR Six Position AR10/A5 Buffer Tube and be good to go?

It uses an A5 buffer and a rifle length spring.

Receiver is designed to use the VLTOR A5 spring and buffer kit only which is sold separately.

Not necessarily brand specific, but at least this will give you an idea of everything you need or might want.

You already have an A5 length extension.  The A5 extensión is just an AR 10 extension so it can use  a standard carbine length buffer with the longer 308 carrier.

Not necessarily.  For a while, we were using a Carbine Receiver Extension with a proprietary spring and Buffer.  The buffer was short and marked "DD5" or "7.62".  I can't remember exactly.  Anyway, we now use Intermediate Length (A5) Receiver Extensions and Buffer Springs along with Standard H Buffers.
