D.R.D. Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 If I use a VLTOR 6 Position Carbine Buffer Tube and a collapsible M4 stock, then later wish to change to a PRS or Luth-AR stock, can I use the same tube? What adjustments would I need to make? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What adjustments would I need to make? Thanks No, the carbine buffer tube is not compatible with either the PRS or the Luth-AR stock. You'll need to change out your entire buffer tube assembly (i.e. including buffer and spring) to a rifle length setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaRKle! Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) If you want to go to a PRS-type stock check out the LMT DMR stock. It's essentially a PRS that's compatible with a mil-spec (DMR556) 6-position receiver extension or AR-10 (DMR308) receiver extension. Edited August 29, 2014 by FaRKle!

98Z5V Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 ^^^ That's some sneaky $hit, right there! Farkle, when the hell did you find out about that thing, and when did it come out?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shibiwan Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Nice option for a carbine tube, Farkle! I learned something new today. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farkle, when the hell did you find out about that thing, and when did it come out?!Debuted at Shot Show this year and was released beginning of summer. May IIRC. This post on M4C has some good pics of the .308 version on different receiver extensions. Edited August 29, 2014 by FaRKle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 That's pretty sweet. Magpul is such a boat anchor. I'm glad more quality is coming from other companies. I'm surprised MFT hasn't made a similar stock yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised MFT hasn't made a similar stock yet. I really like the MFT walking stick stock (i.e. minimalist). It made a great hook that could be used for other purposes in a pinch too!

D.R.D. Posted August 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Nice...and expensive! Is the cheek piece wider than the PRS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaRKle! Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Nice...and expensive! Is the cheek piece wider than the PRS? Yes. The LMT cheek piece is more similar to that of a LMT SOPMOD stock while the PRS is just slightly wider than the stock itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george_995 Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Is expensive, but when comparing to the prs it's not that much more when you buy just the lmt stock and not the kit. $289 for the 308 stock. I like it, my 308 runs so damn good with the current a2 extension w/ heavy buffer and adj. GB, I have a hard time considering buying a collapsible stock system to take its place. :hethan: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 agree. I only have one carbine extension left. A1 stocks are a perfect length for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 I use a UBR stock on my beater 16" 10 carbine. That thing seems to have the perfect balance for the overall weight. But that's probably just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.R.D. Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 If I put a carbine stock with a heavy carbine buffer on, then want to switch to something like a PRS, what do I need to add to the rifle buffer tube to run the carbine length buffer?

On a .308, or AR-15? If it's on the AR-15, they make a spacer that goes into the rifle receiver extension, that allows you to run a carbine buffer in it. If it's on the .308, you're $hit out of luck. You'd need to make a spacer that's the exact same length difference, between the .308 carbine buffer and the .308 rifle buffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.R.D. Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 oh, I see. I'd heard about that AR15 spacer and thought it worked the same for .308 No worries, Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) AR15 rifle buffer = 5.900" AR15 carbine buffer = 3.250" spacer is 2.650" long for these, to run a carbine buffer in a rifle-length receiver extension. DPMS 308 rifle buffer = 5.200" DPMS 308 carbine buffer = Have to have someone measure their Slash CAR-10 buffer, or DPMS 308 Carbine Buffer to get this info. Subtract it from the 5.200" of a 308 rifle buffer length to get the length of spacer you'd need to make. ***Do not use the Armalite AR-10 Carbine buffer length, or information. Armalite uses a longer carbine receiver extension on their AR-10s, and they use AR-15-length carbine buffers.*** ADDED: DPMS Specs on their LR308 Rifle and Carbine Buffers - double check these numbers and test-fit, but verify numbers!... Rifle and carbine buffers for DPMS .308 style rifles Standard rifle buffer specs: length 5.285", weight 5.4112oz Carbine buffer specs: length 2.485", weight 3.808oz Edited August 31, 2014 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Slash car 10 buffer is 2.590/5.50z if I measured right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
