What Buffer to Use With Mid Length Gas System

Thread Status:

Not open for farther replies.

1. I'm going to put an 18" mid length gas system I'chiliad my Yard&P15 will the standard carbine spring and buffer piece of work properly?

2. Don't have a long barrel but, I have a mid length gas system on my 14.5" Daniel Defense butt with a stag upper receiver (westward/ pinned muzzle suspension that makes it CA legal). I have had no bug or jams of whatsoever kind with the standard carbine buffer and spring from Stag. I take purchased a H1 and H2 buffer from BCM to experiment with simply have non fabricated it to the range to examination them. Sorry I don't have better info.
   From all the enquiry I have done it seems the heavier buffers are for shorter barrels to become the rifle to bike reliably. Don't have whatsoever feel with suppressors and dissimilar buffers merely that opens a whole new word.

3. A carbine will work just fine. Although if I were yous, I would experiment with heavier buffers such as H1,H2 or H3. I wouldnt go heavier than a H3 on a xviii" midlength. The heavier buffers will slow your action downwards and reduce some recoil allowing for more authentic fallow up shots. The downside is.... If you become to heavy, your rifle won't cycle correctly when it comes to ejecting cases and the commodities not staying open after your last circular. Normally this will happen with the weaker loads such every bit Tula. If yous end upwardly going with a H2, I would run two mags of military upshot 5.56 and two mags of Tula. If it cycles everything then y'all're skillful to go. You lot tin can then sell your carbine buffer. If it doesn't bicycle properly then sell the H2 and get a H1.

   I accept two mid-lengths both running on sixteen" barrels. On both, I run a H2 buffer with a Blue Sprinco leap. They both cycle everything including cheap steal case.

4. Probably will work but it's more than likely an issue of gas port size with xviii" midlength. Why did you lot go with that? Instead of rifle or intermediate length gas on 18"?

5. Wow guys thanks for the great information. I went with the xviii" butt bluntly based on some reviews of the butt on midway and it fit the toll range I'g in. I wanted mid length stainless steel and this barrel fit the pecker. I have used the AR-stoner house brand butt twice before and have been nothing but pleased and I wanted a Wylde sleeping room. http://www.midwayusa.com/production/794051/ar-stoner-barrel-ar-xv-223-remington-wylde-medium-contour-1-in-8-twist-18-fluted-stainless-steel

6. It depends on the stock y'all are trying to use. If you are using a rifle stock, fixed, A2 type you accept to run a burglarize buffer because the buffer tube (receiver extension) is longer. Collapsible stocks take much shorter buffer tubes thus needing a shorter buffer. Either mode information technology volition be fine I would run a heavy buffer IMO

7. I have run a carbine H buffer in my Cav Artillery lower for thousands of trouble free rounds with my BCM 14.v" middy upper. OP, you will be fine.

   there is no relationship between the gas length on the barrel/gas tube and the stock length. y'all tin can mix and match as desired. put a pistol length gas system on a rifle length stock or a pistol/carbine stock on a 24" barrel with rifle gas.

   information technology doesn't thing at all.

   the LENGTH of the buffer depends entirely on the length of the receiver extension (aka buffer tube.) you can't put a rifle length buffer in a carbine length tube.

   the WEIGHT of the buffer depends on a lot of things just generally, the shorter your gas system, the heavier the buffer. Then mid-length or rifle length gas, a standard weight buffer is fine. equally you step down to carbine length gas on a 16", footstep up to a H buffer. if you lot go carbine length gas on a 12" upper step up to an H2 or something.
   this is just a guideline. let the rifle ejection and feel and reliability tell you how to tweak it from there. things similar adding a suppressor will change it, or changing the weight of the bolt carrier, or if you accept an adjustable gas cake.

   pretty important is that the diameter of the gas port in the barrel varies with the location, but hopefully the bbl mfg did a good chore of that already. once it's washed you can't change it.

9. Good Info. What about going from 5.56 to .223. Does your H2 buffer cycle well with .223 Rem also?

10. I shoot .223 and v.56 with carbine, H and H2 buffers. All office the aforementioned.

11. Information technology doesn't actually thing what his rifle cycles considering they are most likely different than yours. You won't know what your rifle like until you try it.

    Personally, I run H2 buffers with Blue Sprinco Springs in both of my BCM mid lengths. They will cycle everything including cheap low powered Tula. When using an H3 buffer, neither will wheel anything other than 5.56 or adept quality 223.

12. I accept that barrel, which *normally* is sitting on a rifle length stock lower (as pictured), merely has been switched around on occasion.

    the Entry Stock houses a Wolff Extra Power Leap, and a DPMS Heavy Carbine Buffer-
    information technology seems to be a lilliputian nether gassed with the entry stock (throws between 3:xxx and four:30), but still functions fine. If I was swapping on a regular basis, I'd think about changing to a lighter bound.

    edited to add:

    that's with commercial .223 ammo (Black hills Blue Box 69gr SMK or my .223 handloads)- it'due south just well-nigh fine with Federal Lake Urban center M855

    

13. FWIW, I run standard carbine buffers in all of mine; 7.5" SBR pistol gas system, 12.v" SBR carbine length gas system, 16" carbine length gas organisation, sixteen" mid length gas system. They all run fine with everything from weak Tula to pretty strong paw loads.There is nothing between middy and rifle length; mid length is intermediate.

14. Actually there is. Intermediate length gas occasionally is offered on eighteen" barrels. Not that common but does exist.
