Thanks for the info. I looked at the RRA pistol extension on their website just now and I like the looks of it... plus its only like $25. I do not want to have a proprietary spring and buffer for this pistol build, and like to keep parts standard. So I will go with the CAR length tube.
I had not originally planned on building a pistol, but a few months ago when I bought a couple of lowers, the vendor mistakenly sent me one marked pistol. Since it is a virgin lower, and was transfered to me as a receiver... I am GTG. My thoughts are that I will build this pistol using an LMT 10.5" upper that I can use on a SBR lower later if I choose to go down that road. And the pistol lower will be easy to sell later, possibly at a profit. If I end up liking the pistol then of course I will keep it, as one can never have too many black rifles or black pistolsI do think it has some practical applications with the 10.5 inch upper.
Next question... would you guys recommend a standard CAR buffer for the LMT 10.5 upper or the H Buffer? It seems like I have read on here that the LMT has a smallish gas port so the H buffer is not necessary... any drawbacks to the H buffer if it is not really needed? The H buffer is about 2x as much $$, so would rather not spend the extra dough if not necessary, but I want the gun (like all of my guns) to run 100%.
Thanks!
Where the heck are you shopping that charges 2x for an H buffer so I can avoid them like the plague?
YIKES! I guess that's the going rate? I could have sworn I only paid like 7 bucks more for my H buffer and 12 bucks for my CAR.

It looks like Rainier is charging a similar premium on the H, but 9.50 for the CAR, 18.95 for the H. If you can't swing the extra 9 bucks to help the gun run like a top, we've certainly hit hard times![]()

If I could not afford an extra $9 or $12, I wouldnt have bought an LMT upper....But I dont like to spend more than I have to unless there is a good reason to.
Can anyone comment on the best buffer to run with the LMT 10.5" upper?
Thanks

This should help a little.
I ran a H buffer with my pistol and it worked pretty well. Others have reported H2 or H.
Thanks for the link. I spent some time reading the thread you linked, and all others I could find on here regarding the various buffers. What I have learned is the following:
LMTs tend to have smaller gas ports than most, LMT ships complete guns with CAR buffers.
LMTs will probably run 100% (non-suppressed) with the CAR buffer
The H Buffer can't hurt and will probably aid in reliability with all ammo types.
And in an unrelated development the LMT 10.5 that I pulled the trigger on is not available. So I just now ordered BCM 11.5 upper instead. Cant wait to get it together!The sale that Bravo Co is running right now on their uppers and BCGs rocks!
It's more like LMT has the correct gas port size. So will a BCM, that's what I ran when I had a pistol.
