How is the Buffer selected, Carbine, H, H2, H3, what do the different weight buffers do?
What is the difference between a carbine and standard buffer?
What Buffer Spring ? standard, heavy, H2, H3 ?
I am building my first Stripped lower, for 5.56 The LPK is installed, except for the buffer tube, and parts.
I selected a Mil Spec
Carbine Extension tube 6 position,
Carbine Stock Latch plate,
Castle Nut,
Carbine buffer Standard weight,
Heaver Buffer spring.
I selected the heavier spring because it was recommended.
Tactical Springs LLC M4 / CAR-15 Extra Power Chrome Silicon Carbine Buffer Spring in Hard Tube (RED Spring)
"Extra-Power Buffer Spring, best option for 14.5" and 16" barrels with carbine length gas system platforms with standard front sight towers and H buffers, gas piston guns, and suppressed weapons. Color Coded RED."
Standard buffer because of cost.
Will this combination work for 5.56 gas upper and/or a piston upper?
My second Lower is for a .45 acp upper, what is best Buffer system for it?
What is the method of selecting these parts?
Thank You
