Hi everyone! it's my first post here.
I'm building 2 uppers for my AR-15 lower (I'll run same lower for both upper because, in terms of the law in my country, it's impossible to purchase extra lower).
The purpose of those uppers is a Short Tactical Carabine and Long Range PRS rifle.
Here's listed the properties for both uppers.
12.5'' Tactical Carabine:
- Barrel: Criterion CORE Series 12.5
- Twist: 1:8
- Gas Length: Carabine
- Gas Block: Superlative Arms Adjustable Gas Block 0.625''
24'' Long Range PRS rifle:
- Barrel: Criterion 24 inch bull barrel
- Twist: 1:8
- Gas Length: Rifle
- Gas Block: Superlative Arms Adjustable Gas Block 0.936''
I was adviced to replace my current mil-spec buffer system with VLTOR A5 Buffer System, to deal with possible malfunctions. And here comes my headache, I don't know how to choose the right buffer weights for operating with those two uppers. If there's any rules to follow for determining the right buffer weights, I'd prefer to do so, instead of purchasing all kinds of A5 Buffers and finding the right ones in practice.
