mekrebs Posted January 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 11 hours ago, 98Z5V said: Keep that aluminum-bodied 2.500" buffer - it only fits 2 weights, and they're both tungsten. That's the only way it makes it to 3.8oz in the first place. You won't gain anything replacing one of the buffer's tungsten weights with one of the ones you have on hand. You can buy a cheap, stainless-bodied buffer from DSG Arms, and it comes with steel weights, weighs 3.8oz. Swap the tungsten weights into it, and it give you 5.15oz. That's running in my .260 Rem right now, and still works. It's at the bottom end of what I'm comfortable with, but it runs. Here's the DSG buffer you'd need, and it's $22: https://dsgarms.com/lower-receiver-parts-dsg-4201-0021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Since I still need buffer tubes, I just bought 2 of these kits with 5.6 ounce buffers. https://ar15discounts.com/products/kaw-valley-precision-ar-10-stock-completion-kit-w-5-6oz-buffer/ 4 hours ago, mekrebs said: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mekrebs Posted January 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 Lower completed. Just waiting on buffer tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mekrebs Posted January 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) It's finished except for tightening the castle nut. Glad to say Noreen DPMS lower fits fine. I'm waiting on a mail order magazine vise block. Put in a KAW 5.7 oz buffer. I also got an Aero M5 stripped lower which also fits fine with the BCA upper. Pic attached Thanks to everyone for their help and patience. Edited January 12, 2023 by mekrebs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 Looking forward to shooting this thing, man - can't lie. Let us know how it runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mekrebs Posted January 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 Absolutely.. It's the least I can do for all your help. BTW: Too bad the attached picture isn't available in .308 ZOOM IN TO GET THE MESSSAGE. I ordered one anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
