PSA:
There are several temporary stop-gap solutions that allow you to use a lower built with an A5 RE until the supply of proper buffers returns.
These methods require attention to detail similar to what one should apply while reloading.
Failure to do so could result in damage.
Aways verify proper recoil stroke after a buffer swap by pulling the charging handle back to full recoil and holding.
Pay particular attention to clearance behind the gas key and the clearance between the bolt lug face and bolt catch.
Use the following at your own risk.
1) Put a .99" dia x 0.75" long aluminum or steel spacer in the bottom of the tube. This will effectively convert the tube back to CAR length. Then, any valid CAR buffer and spring combination can be used.
2) involves a special spacer, rifle spring and CAR length buffer.
3) involves a shortened rifle buffer and flatwire spring.
