Buffers

[308shooter]

With the ar/10 Can you run an ar/15 buffer or do you have to get a different buffer tube

Hello, 308Shooter

Welcome to the forum

Rifle or Carbine? For sure different buffers. You are sure to get a lot of help here, tell about your build you are planning/ working on.

This is a long discussion on how the gas system and the recoil system are supposed to be balanced. It should answer all your questions, if not, ask away. When one doesn’t understand something, there are no stupid questions.

For the carbine buffer system you can run an AR-15 H3 buffer but only in a 7 5/8 inch internal depth buffer tube. Armalite, BCM, and Vltor are a few that sell these tubes. The Armalite kit gets lots of recommendations here;
