[ARCHIVED THREAD] - AR 15 build

Posted: 12/26/2012 8:42:32 PM EDT

Hi all, this is my first build and I have continually been reading to familiarize myself with all the needed components . I have a few questions and I hope someone can advise me. So far I have purchased the following to complete 2 rifles.
5.56 mega lower stripped
2 Daniel Defense barrels chf 14.5" and 16" both middy gas system
Spikes enhanced LRPK
Stripped upper
I would like to get the magpul ctr mil spec and str mil spec stocks.
Ok this is where I'm confused. I have been trying to understand about the buffer tube , spring and buffer types and am seeking advice on which would be a proper buffer. I'm looking for the kick to not be so strong but still enough power to cycle. I have seen some some complete setups and the buffer is a std .
Any help thank you.

the buffer should be a carbine buffer in most AR15s. Additionally, generally speaking, the .223 has a very small amount of recoil.

Thanks for the reply... I read that there are std, H, H1, H2 and H3 buffers. Which one would be good. I saw a complete kit, (carbine type) I believe the buffer was std. Would that be sufficient.

Thanks

Standard should be sufficient.

+1....and AR's don't kick.
