Basic Question: Does a Rifle Length Gas System Need a Rifle Length Buffer Tube?

[vicious_cb]

Having an apparently unpopular opinion is trolling? If you refer to my reply above you would see that I am/was looking for actual data rather than anecdotes about how great it is. If I wanted to troll Id have said something about this place compared to you know where. And, since Ive already been accused of trolling I might as well... For as much of a paid shill fest as that place is at least they can take someone stating they dont like collapsible stocks without accusations of trolling.

Its generally not a good idea to call what 99% of people use, "mall ninja" shit.

If you don't like stocks that adjust, that's fine, but don't shit in a thread that is precisely about using a carbine RE and collapsible stock with a rifle gas upper.

Start your own get off-my-lawn thread about how great fixed stocks are and opine to your heart's content.

Actually your opinion means jack shit in the bigger scheme of things. There are a valid reason for adjustable stocks and that is the de facto standard for the moment.

I just tried googling that and Im getting goose eggs. You happen to have a citation?



Limited to a fixed minimum length of pull but not maximum. I dont even really get the purpose of collapsible stocks to be honest, I mean theres the argument for cqc and mounted patrols but I never had any problem shortstocking my rifle. So if thats the 'most obvious' difference then it sounds like my assessment was correct.



You'd love my opinion of aimpoints then.

I normally don’t like derailing, but please inform us of your opinion. I’m genuinely curious.

This has come up several times. I have built a few rifles for guys locally using correctly gassed 20" barrels, Sprinco green springs and an H3 buffer. They ran perfectly fine.

Seeking clarification on this, are you speaking of using the green spring in a carbine RE. The green spring is rifle length, does it fit or did you mean the blue spring?

I believe he is referring to an A5 not a carbine RE.

Correction made, I had green on the brain. Blue spring with USGI H3 buffer.

Then you never tried teaching a class composed of every body type from 5’ 1 1/2” women to 6’8” guys wearing everything from a t-shirt to concealable armor to plate armor. For AR shaped objects we should change the terminology from “collapsible” to saying our stocks identify as “adjustable”.

...but I could be wrong
