About to start assembling a budget AR10 style rifle for a friend... first experience with this platform. I can't figure out the puzzle about how the gas length coordinates with the RE/buffer/spring. I've tried searches but haven't found the answer I'm looking for. Can you please help or post a link?
My friend wants a 20" barrel but collapsible stock. Can a 308 with rifle length gas reliably run using a carbine stock set-up?
I've seen bits about "Slash's" buffer with an AR15 RE (or something like that), but I chase them in cirlces and don't really find anything that ties together rifle gas with carbine stocks. Do I even need to worry about it?
I had hoped to buy a basic 308 carbine stock "kit" (from Armalite) but worried I'll run through several parts while experimenting until I finally get good function.
Primary purpose of the rifle is deer hunting. Seconds are recreational target shooting (600 yd or less) and cool factor. He's just always wanted one but doesn't really care about the details. He wants me to assemble it over time versus buying a complete rifle even though it'll cost more. I want to avoid using DPMS parts if I can help it.
