What's inside an AR-10 buffer?

Having seen the sticky with Randall's pictures of the inside components of various AR-15 buffers produces my question. What is on the inside of an AR-10 factory rifle buffer? I'm guessing 5 steel buffer weights and 5 rubber buffer discs for the rifle. Does anyone know if I'm right?

Armalite AR-10 rifle buffers have 6 steel weights.

are they the same dimensions? could you say swap some weights around from 5.56 buffers?

I didn't measure them but they looked like standard sized weights.

Todd, I'm the OP, just noticed your reply. Thanks for checking.

I just bought a .308 buffer today and I take back my question about them being different sizes. Because they are different sizes externally. I cant say about the weights but whatever.
