Thanks.
I tried to search it, but all I found was just the opposite of what I wanted to do. A2 stock w/ rifle buffer and 16" carbine upper and Carbine gas system with full rifle stock and buffer. Any chance you have a link to the other 86?

 well played
when it comes to stocks don't mix parts. IE not to install carbine buffer and spring in a1 or a2 rifle stock tube assemblies or a mix there of. |

It will work fine, but you should use a standard carbine buffer, nothing heavier like an H1, etc..

I have not experienced any bolt bounce with using a CAR weight buffer,function is 100%,so thats what I would recommend for overall use. If so inclined you will just have to try the different weight buffers with the upper you choose due to differences in manufacturers barrel gas ports. HTH |

This can be done, but after you replace the internals, you will have to go and get a UBR stock, because IF you put a Lily Ko on a 20" rifle, you
will be in danger of going Canadian!  , ,

I hope so, because I just threw a collapsable on a 20" rifle. I'm going to try it tomorrow with a standard weight buffer and a 9mm buffer.
Same reason, even an A1 stock feels too long after shooting mostly carbines for years. |

My 20" ARmalite has never had anything but a Tapco 6-position with a standard CAR buffer. Runs great on anything I've stuffed in it yet. Never had a FTE.

This was my attempt to cram what I wanted into one AR (M16 and M4 clone) before I realized you need multiple ARs. After several hundred rounds I had no issues/malfunctions of any kind. Regular car buffer. I switched to an A2 stock to help with balance issues. car length tubes with carbine stocks should be used on uppers with barrel lengths under 18" in my opinion. 20" or longer go with a fixed stock with a rifle extension. |

For what it's worth, in my experience a rifle length gas system and an 18" barrel would not function with an H buffer but works fine with a standard buffer. There are so many factors though, you have just got to shoot it to know. With the longer gas system you don't need the heavier buffer anyway.

YUP, like that !
! But actually, since most of us will not be converting a full auto or burst type rifle, you will have a lot of latitude that
the military doesn't. You can try out all your components, including the ammo and select what combo works best in your case. Personally, my choice of the UBR for this type of application is based on unit weight as well as awesome good looks. IMHO the original Colt tele stock looks best on the XM 177 series weapons, and Lily Ko is best suited to the 6520LE. The larger Carbines are just crying for a meatier, heavier, sexier tele type replacement.
