| I have a AR carvbine in the above caliber. It "kicks" a lot harder than I thought it would (wanted it for my oldest daughter for a deer/man stopper). I bought a heavy-weight replacement buffer, but it is a lot shorter than the one that came with the rifle. Any problems with putting the new buffer in? |

Do you have an A2 or rifle length stock on your AR? It sounds like you have a Rifle length buffer that you are trying to replace with a carbine length buffer. DO NOT DO THIS!! You can buy a spacer for your stock that will allow you to use the new buffer you have purchased. look here to find the spacer http://heavybuffers.com/springs.html

| My AR carbine in 7.62x39 recoils considerably more than my other AR's in 5.56. With that being said, figure out what you've got going on with your buffer system. Do you have a fixed stock or adjustable? What replacement buffer did you order? Pics are always helpful. I built mine in standard M-4 configuration with an adjustable stock. |

You need a rifle buffer for an A2 stock. Heavy Buffers offers a heavy rifle buffer, but it ain't cheap: LINK If you swap out the A2 for a collapsible stock, the GL Shock stock is a quality piece that really works to reduce perceived recoil. I use it on a couple of rifles (including a 7.62x39 AR) and it really works as advertised. |
