It works fine, provided you have a carbine tube installed. If you use a carbine buffer in a rifle tube, the bolt carrier key will make contact with things it shouldn't. That = bad.

Thanks for the reply. Would this be of any advantage?

The only way you can use a carbine buffer in a rifle, without damaging it, is to install a carbine buffer tube and carbine spring.
The advantage of this would be the ability to utilize any one of several designs of adjustable or collapsable stocks. Something I myself am contemplating, in changing my A2 rifle over to either an Ace M4 SOCOM or Magpul93 stock. Basicly for the adjustable length of pull I like, while retaining the extra velocity and accuracy of a full length rifle. (Yes, I know barrel length is not necessarily linked to accuracy, but with iron sights, accuracy is easier with a longer sight radius.)   Lonny |

The standard buffer and tube are pretty universally considered a more reliable design, due to allowing a longer spring with more even tension. The only advantage to using the carbine buffer in a rifle tube is if you're trying to break your lower.

It might be good for bump firing.
