    AR: is the rifle buffer the best?

    Thanks. Video was informational.

    AR: is the rifle buffer the best?

    Details? It's my understanding that the A5 has longer travel and a rifle length spring, and that makes it smoother shooting than a carbine RE. That and you can't really stuff a spikes ST-2 in there. So the rifle RE is a bit noisy, any other disadvantages?

    AR: is the rifle buffer the best?

    Personally I have one lower (rifle buffer) and two uppers: BCM middy 16" and a rifle length 18". I don't think there's much to gain by way of buffers, but if you've got ideas I'll think it over.

    AR: is the rifle buffer the best?

    point being, they don't offer a variety of buffer weights for rifle length RE's. None is needed.

    AR: is the rifle buffer the best?

    But basically, a rifle buffer will work with a wide variety of configurations. It's the heaviest, aiding in reliability, but rarely is it too heavy (yes/no?). It should work with a 10.5" bbl to 24", as long as it's pretty much stock (M16 carrier, proportional gas port diameter). Am I...

    AR: is the rifle buffer the best?

    It's the heaviest and possibly smoothest. Does an Vltor A5 or carbine buffer system really have much shootable benefit over the rifle length? I'm running an ACE socom (long) stock, it's already adjustable, just not as collapsible as a carbine system.

    Want a grab-n-go AR upper 7.62x39

    They're really cool, but $1200 is too rich for my blood. Is rather upgrade parts slowly

    AR-15 sheet metal and tube upper receiver

    That's pretty damn cool. Sorry if I'm sidetracking the thread... What's the upper made out of? Extruded aluminum, or polymer, or??

    AR-15 sheet metal and tube upper receiver

    I dig this kind of stuff. Ar-18, expedient stampings. Need a poor man's ARAK

    Want a grab-n-go AR upper 7.62x39

    Thanks. I was interested in PSA. Model 1 only offers HBAR profiles apparently. A lot more people have had success than have given up on x39 I'm guessing after reading plenty of threads.

    Thanks for the piston AR advice

    After reading a lot of piston AR threads, I followed the most common advice: Just buy a BCM. (I still want a piston AR) Last summer I got a BCM deal on a 16" middy upper with Mod 0 comp, BCG, and MOE handguard for $480 shipped.

    Want a grab-n-go AR upper 7.62x39

    Beretta Prof: good eye! I'm not into quad rails or m4 profiles, but it still looks like a tempting value for the money. High strength bolt, x39 extractor, and a charging handle for $319 to boot

    Want a grab-n-go AR upper 7.62x39

    I plan on using ASC mags, and adding AK springs if needed, and possibly filing down the front feed lip as necessary. I also plan on polishing the M4 feed ramps/ barrel extension wider. I'm going 16" carbine gas.

    Want a grab-n-go AR upper 7.62x39

    I've read a lot of threads on x39 and AR's. I still want one I can just throw an ASC mag in and go. Some have high strength bolts with different shaped lugs. Some have x39 extractors Some have blended m4 feed ramps Some have recessed carriers, others extended firing pins And one day I...

    AR middy 7.62x39 16"?

    Thanks. I'll just get a PSA carbine I think. I wanted a dissipator too, but I'll not since the carbine barrels are usually mid weight it seems.
