I recently decided to assemble an AR. I decided to do this mostly just for fun and the experience of doing it. I acquired a stripped lower from Anderson manufacturing and recently purchased a lower parts kit by CMMG. I have always liked the look and feel of the fixed A2 style stock so I purchased a complete A2 kit from RRA.
Now that I have all of this assembled I am ready to move on to the upper halve but this is where I need some help. I have a complete SW M&P 15 that I guess would be what most call an M4gery so I wanted this new one to be a little different (as in the fixed stock and the chambering). I'm leaning toward assembling an upper in .300 AAC but not sure what I will need for a buffer. The buffer that came with the A2 kit is a rifle buffer. Will this work? If I need to change it, do I need a different buffer spring? From what I gather the .300 AAC is best in a suppressed upper but I've also seen many carbine length uppers for sale as well. Can anyone steer me in the right direction here.
Intended purpose is the occasional deer hunt and range fun.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
