re: ~ Stock, Spring & Buffer Question/s
Okay . . .Here's the story. Just picked up a STAG lower receiver that came equipped with a DPMS collapsing / collapsible, whatever it's called, 6-position stock. The plan is to put the MID-LENGTH upper upon this STAG lower receiver. First off, I know nothing about these collapsing stocks and last handled a CAR shorty M16 with one of these type things on it back around 1969. Suppose that I've always been a rigid stock kinda guy. Managed to pull out the buffer with spring and noticed that both of them are much shorter than the ones found inside of an A1 / A2 rifle stock. So . . . am I to gather that the buffer and spring inside the collapsing stock is for a CARBINE? Question is . . . which buffer and spring set needs to be used with a MID-LENGTH gas system? Does the MID-LENGTH required a rifle size buffer and spring? As it is . . . I was thinking about using an A1 stock on the mid-length rifle anyway, The collapsing stocks somehow seem toy-like and not serious, Suppose it's a matter of just getting used to the thing |

You currently have the correct setup
Interesting! So the CARBINE spring and buffer inside the collapsing stock is okay with a MID-LENGTH upper? That's cool! It was my thought that the gas system length affected the spring in relationship to the tension. That apparently is incorrect. Thanks for the info . . . |
