    I'll agree on using an A5 length receiver extension so you're able to use standard length carbine buffers. Armalite makes it even easier, as they have a relatively inexpensive kit that includes the extension, their spring, castle nut, H3 buffer, etc. I used this on my rifle length gas 18", no buffer or spring tuning needed.

    Currently sold out, but it can be sourced elsewhere.

    Pointing to the “A5” receiver extension is actually very helpful. I happen to have an unused one. I also have a couple carbine/H-whatever buffers that I don’t use anymore for my AR-15’s.

    On the BCG, I realized it is actually chromed rather than NiB. It was already purchased, so I’ll hold on to it. However, it does make good sense to just match a Brownells barrel with their BCG.
