Considerations & Trade-offs
- Compatibility depends on stock type: the carbine spring is for .308 ARs with a collapsible buttstock, while the rifle spring is for .308 ARs with a fixed buttstock.
- The rifle spring will not work in .308 carbines with a collapsible stock, so confirming your setup before ordering is important.
- This is a replacement/build component rather than a complete assembly, so it is intended for users who already know the correct buffer spring configuration for their rifle.
