Some people shoot the 9mm buffer in a .223 configuration. They say the recoil "feels" softer and the muzzle rise is more controllable. So you could use a 9mm buffer. You may have broken hammer pins when running the 9mm buffer with the 9mm config unless you put a spacer in the buffer tube to limit the amount of overtravel the buffer makes. The spacer will cost you $2.75 in quarters dropped down the buffer tube then put the spring over the quarters. So you could buy a 9mm buffer and always pull the quarters out before going to shoot in the .223 config. You'll also need to cut the mags if you want a last round bolt hold open. As for the bolt. Ramp the bolt if you want to use the non-hooked DPMS hammer or any other hammer with a M16 hook. If you have a 9mm hammer then you don't need the bolt ramped, but you won't be able to shoot .223 easily with a 9mm hammer. Easiest option IMO is the DPMS LPK. The DPMS LPK quality can be argued elsewhere. |
