Hello. I'm working on building a spare lower. I currently have a DDM4V7 full rifle, and have a Wilson 300 BO upper on order. I have decided to build a spare lower so that I will have 2 complete rifles. I consider this a "spare" lower as when I want to switch calibers, I'm simply going to run the Wilson atop of my DD lower being that I've installed a new trigger, butt stock, etc..
I want the spare lower so that if/when my brother or friends go shooting with me, I can let them use the spare lower. I do want it to be of decent/good parts, so here's what I'm working with so far.
-PSA lower
-CMMG lower parts kit on order.
-Magpul buttstock that came with my DD (as I replaced it with the UBR).
-DD stock grip.
My main question is this: I need to buy a buffer and spring for this spare. What should I consider for using this with both calibers? Anything special? I figured I'd just get another H buffer like the one in my DD and call it good. All help is appreciated. Remember, this doesn't need to be special/top of the line. I want a quality product, but not crazy quality. I was leaning towards either a CMMG or DD part, which I know are near the upper end of the spectrum anyhow. Any other part or build suggestions that I may be over looking?
