Sup fellas new to the forum been lurkin' for quite some time.
Got a 20" upper on order so I've been lookin around at lowers to snag. My question is the spikes lower that comes with st-t2 buffer and tube, can it work in conjunction with a 20" build and A2 stock? Or is it a carbine only buffer? If so does spikes have anything meant for 20" rifles or are they centered towards the carbine crowd. Thanks in advance everyone. |

a carbine buffer will not work with a rifle buffer tube and spring...
you could try to use your 20" upper on the lower with a carbine buffer setup like the C7... the ST-T2 might be too heavy to work with the rifle gas system, i don't know how it compares to an H2 buffer, but I believe that's what the Canadians use in their rifles no matter what barrel or gas system length... |
| Thanks guys I figured that would be the case. I guess I'll just see what my local FFL has in stock tomarrow, maybe something will catch my eye. I just liked the design idea posed by the ST-T2 and was diggin' the spikes lower anyhow figured I'd kill two birds with one stone. That said Im still on the hunt for a lower complete or stripped. Although seeing what I've read in the past how well Tom @ Spikes caters to his customers maybe he'll get something going for the 20" crowd :))) high hopes I guess |

Although seeing what I've read in the past how well Tom @ Spikes caters to his customers maybe he'll get something going for the 20" crowd :))) high hopes I guess a 20" upper will work with a collapsible stock and carbine buffer setup... you just might need to change the ST-T2 buffer out for something lighter... you just can't cram a carbine spring and buffer into the rifle buffer tube... i highly doubt anyone is going to invent some new buffer for the A2... if you've ever fired an A2 rifle they are already as smooth as it gets... there is no need for the extra mass like in the carbine... |
| Yea bro I read it sorry for the confusion. I'm just gearing towards and A4 clone and intend on using an A2 stock. I dont really want to buy the lower kit that comes with the tube and buffer and start swapping stuff on it. I might as well just snag the stripped lower and an A2 stock kit and go from there. Like I said the st-t2 seemed appealing. Also be patient with me as this is my first build I'm originally a bolt action guy... lol the pace is a little slower in that world :p |
