Thinking of trying a HBAR(5.56) 16" carbine gas system and a RRA A2 rifle stock kit. Will I run into any known problems with this combo???? What will I need to change---if anything??

 Just looking to build something a little different, over what is normally seen at the range.

If anybody has pictures of a HBAR 16" barrel  with 12" FF handguard  and sporting an A2 buttstock setup, I'd love to see some pics.  

Haven't decided on scope mount or glass yet.

Nope.  Be like running an H3 buffer in a carbine RE.

Thanks Gang, I wasn't sure this combo would work without changing the rifle buffer to a lighter carbine one.

Don't do that no matter what!  Carbine buffer is too short for use with a rifle length RE; the gas key will smack the RE housing.

If your going to use the rifle stock use a rifle buffer.
