All the AR 15 rifles I have built have been carbine length, both .223 and .300 Black Out.
They used the typical 6 position Mil spec tube and Magpul CTR stock, carbine spring and buffer.
I have just bought an 18" SPR barrel that is rifle length. Other than the rifle length gas tube, what differences are there as to spring and buffer weight, and if so what should I be looking for? I would like to retain the 6 position type stock if possible, if not no big deal, what should I use? I see a lot of SPR or DMR builds using fixed stocks...
Thanks in advance,
Russellc
