I'm working on my first build and have gotten some conflicting information.  I'm using a Magpul M93B stock and need to get a buffer and spring.  I was told to use a standard rifle length/weight buffer and spring, but this seems quite wrong to me.  I know the buffer that's in my 20" A2 is too long and won't allow the bolt to cycle.  

It makes sence to me to use a carbine length spring and buffer.  I'd just like some verification of that.

I'll be putting a 16" mid length upper on this.  I don't think I need it, but I'm thinking I'll go with an H buffer to soak up a little more of the recoil.  Would this cycle properly with both the 16" middy and the 20" upper attached or should I not try to mix them up?

Thanks for the help.

The ads for stock claim its a carbine one, so yes you'd need a carbine buffer and spring.
H buffer would be fine for either the 16 or the 20. I think...

There is an H buffer in the 16" mid I use and it runs fine.

I've never heard of anyone with a 20"/rifle gas system and carbine with H buffer having problems.

Thanks for the input.  I probably won't be putting my 20"upper on this, but it would just be a bonus (not sure why) it everything were compatable.

The project is rolling and I am excited!!!

Now I'll keep my mouth shut and get back to work.

Buy a 9mm buffer and don't look back.

I've been kicking around that idea too.  I'll probably just go with the H Buffer for now, that way I always have the fun of upgrading later!!!

I have an M93B stock and use a 9mm carbine buffer & spring.  Works great.

What upper/gas system are you running?

Use a carbine buffer and spring. Weight is up to you. Personally, I use a H1 with a 16" Middy upper. Works perfect.

I have a 16" HBAR using regular CAR platform, LMT semi-auto bolt carrier assy.

Ordered it from Bushmaster.  Started with a threaded pre-ban CAR 16" HBAR, had it fluted.  They said it would take 6-8 weeks but I received it in 4 weeks.
