I'm working on a build and I'm not real savy when it comes to buffers and such.

I have this buffer with the tube and spring,  It's not marked that I can tell.  How can I tell if this is appropriate for a rifle length AR or a carbine?  Commercial vs mil spec.  I read the FAQ but I'm still not getting it 100%.  There was no pictures.

Awesome, thanks.  So it's just the carbine that you need to worry about the mil spec thing.  Cool.

I find it odd that the buffer and tube aren't marked.  Seems like the manufacturer would want people to know who made it.

Some manufacturers do put their logo on buffer tubes, but the only buffer that I have seen marked is the one from Spike's. Buffers may be marked with mass inidicators.

I have a Vltor one that's marked as well.  Those are the only two I've seen with any markings.


 



ETA I'm a dumbass and didn't read closely enough. haha. You were talking about the Spike's buffers.
