Y yggorf New member Mar 21, 2010 #1 What happens if you use a shorter buffer in an AR15? I have a rifle that is working, but makes a "springy" sound when fired. It has a full-length rifle sized buffer. If I put in a carbine length buffer what will happen -- will it still work?

Y yggorf New member Mar 21, 2010 #3 OK, let me ask the same question a different way. Why is the AR15 buffer designed to be the length that it is in the rifle and carbine lengths?
