I'm dumb when it comes to buffers, and I'm tired of searching. Can you gurus just tell me what buffer set up I need so I can go ahead and buy it?
18" barrel SPR, rifle length gas system. It will be suppressed about half of the time. |

If you get a collapsing stock, I recommend the VLTOR A5 Kit. It replicates a rifle buffer system in a collapsing stock. Very smooth.
If you want a more precision style setup, there is the Magpul PRS. Heavy and long but adjustable and can mount a monopod. If you use an A5 or a rifle stock, use the A5H2 (standard) or the rifle (standard) buffer. If you use a carbine buffer system, use an H2 buffer. |

honestly, the need for the rifle length buffer and action spring is only if you are going to fire full auto, put whatever you want on there if its only a semi. It's nice on accurate rifles so you can spot strikes. I find that much easier with a longer recoil system. |

it depends.
the bolt bounce is the real reason that SPR's went from a SOPMOD upper receiver to an entire weapons system, and we were never really ever able to get that cat back in the bag(Carbine buffers and action springs), even when it resulted in say 80% of a units sniper weapons to be deemed NMC. |

What buffers were they trying to use? H? |
