[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Buffer Question

Do you have to match the size of your buffer with the length of your gas tube? The reason I ask is that My new AR was functioning perfectly until I swapped stocks and buffers. Now it won't kick out the spent shell. The bolt won't go back at all. I went from a short buffer supplied by model 1 with my CAR kit to a bigger buffer that was included with an A2 stock.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you removed a carbine stack assembly, and replaced it with a full length rifle stock, including changing over the buffer tube. If you're using the new stock with a full length buffer tube and a full length recoil spring, then you should be using the full length rifle buffer, and it should work just fine.

If you have, in fact, changed over all the above parts to full rifle length pieces, I can only assume that something in the new setup is out of spec. If you kept any of the original carbine pieces on the rifle, that's probably the source of the problem

Thanks for the reply. I swapped my complete CAR set up with someone else's complete rifle set up.
