AR buffer question

gmarr · May 28, 2020, 05:57 PM

I just changed the stock on my AR from the collapsable to a A2 style. Changed the buffer tube as well. Questions is do I have to also change the buffer spring? Thanks in advance.

Yes, you'll need the A2 buffer AND spring. Make sure you have the spacer for the back of the tube. It takes up the 1/2" to 5/8" space that will end up between the end of the buffer tube and the buttplate.
