If the gun has a thumbhole stock then it will be a rifle length buffer. If this is the case an adjustable gas block might be best option.

Also a carbine buffer in said rifle tube will result in a beat up buffer tower.

Just had a look mine is the rifle length buffer, F#*K sake! Might have to cancel that order and go for the adj GB...
You're SOL mate. Adjustable it is. Seriously though I run an H3 in one of my carbines and it really makes fuck all difference.
Adjustable gas blocks. Who has them?

Get it from Brownells.

Order 2 low profile ones. I'd be keen on one.
The T2 buffer is lighter than a rifle buffer anyway.
Most adjustable gas blocks bought by themselves can be bought from brownalls with no paperwork at either end,and if it does get stopped at nz customs a email from your local arms office will get it released.
I like the JP low profile.
Or just turn your curent gas block into one, it's not hard.
All colt bolts as far as I know are tested and marked MPI. Many others do not or batch test only.
Personally when I have a new boiler (or any pressure vessel) a 1.5x or 2x overload test is the normal for insurance / QA purposes and gives some assurance that there is no serious but hidden unique defect. So no it doesnt or should not shorten the life for a component as a one off when new.
Army, well apparently they replace the bolt at 7500rounds or so as they do a lot of auto fire which really stresses the bolt. Again from what I can read 20,000 rounds or 2 or 3 barrels in a "retail" environment ie you and I is quite typical. Bolts are however really cheap and getting a matched bolt and barrel seems to be the best option for accuracy and long life.
@res, would you recommend an aluminium or ss JP adj. gas block...
Looking at an ODL can with my 12.5" NEA...
Cheers, Grant.
I personally like the very scalloped out ss one as I tend to have a fairly high round count compared to most nz ar's but if your building a light rifle that's only going to see a few hundred rounds a year I can't see any issues with the JP alloy one other than the whole chemical reaction thing between metals.

This is the one I'm talking about, it even seems to have come down in price a lot since I last bought one
will that one fit in a standard NEA hand guard?
Thanks Res, its already in my shopping cart. :)
This is a good video on the subject of springs and buffers.

spring was shipped a week ago, its now in the Netherlands going through customs. i do wonder if the Americans got Zeelands confused with New Zealand.
USPS?

Get yourself the dvd "Gas gun Basics" i think from JP Rifles. Excellent info on it
@P38 thought so, its on my shopping list, Im waiting on deltasector if they dont come through Im going to build an ar15.
Hi Guys looking for a good 20inch or 16inch barrel, I want an accurate barrel but I am not allowed a match grade and I need a A2 front post its for service rifle. Who makes the best non-SS barrels do you think?
@Herbmiester has got some nice Criterion AR15 barrels - these are button rifled, chrome lined moly steel, and shoot good
If it is only for service rifle I'd just get one of the cheap DPMS HBAR's off Brownells.
Brownells is a probable source, dont really mind spending a little more if its for a decent barrel.
Just about to order an adjustable gas block from brownells but could someone please tell me roughly how long that takes?
