I've ordered a psa ar10 but I don't like the telescoping stocks on any of the ar style of rifles. With the larger caliber what kind of recoil tube spring and buffer would I need to get so I can put on an a1 or a2 stock? No real rush on this but I'll get it done eventually. thanks

Believe you're gonna need an a1/a2 buffer extension, rifle buffer and spring to put that stock on. And it's probably a collapsible stock that comes with the gun, not telescoping.

The PSA PA10 will need a "AR10" specific rifle length buffer and spring.

Since the BCG is longer... it will protrude further into the buffer tube... so a .308 rifle buffer is slightly shorter then a AR15 rifle buffer.

I ordered this kit from PSA...

BUT... ended up buying a KAK Heavy Weight AR10 Buffer and Tubbs .308 Flatwire spring to use with it

I would suggest you instead buy the PSA kit.... and get an adjustable gas block. seriously...

The cyclic action on a .308 AR is much "harsher" then a AR15....

Read my thread on my PSA PA10 GenII...

*Hold on to your AR-15s. Their magic must be very powerful, or they wouldn’t want them.*
