Normally I hang out in the Retro Forum but I'm in the process of building a little more modern rifle and I have a question that I'm sure someone can answer here. I am using a flat top upper with a 16" barrel with a mid length gas system. I'm planning on using an A2 rifle stock and I need to know what buffer I should be using. I'm guessing I should be using the rifle buffer but, I thought I'd ask just to be sure.

We use carbine buffers all the time at the shop. The spring will stretch out to compensate. Quoted:

You need the longer rifle buffer if your going to use a rifle length buffer tube. We use carbine buffers all the time at the shop. The spring will stretch out to compensate.  A carbine buffer in a rifle length tube will allow the carrier key to collide with the tube and the rear of the lower receiver, since the buffer won't bottom out first. I hope you're misunderstanding what you're suggesting, and not actually using carbine buffers in A1/A2 tubes.

LOL, relax, we do it for tuning reasons. There's a homemade 9mm adaptor in the tube also. Probably should have mentioned that in the other post,
