[QUOTE="ARlife4me, post: 2957161, member: 105694"] I'll say you are correct and a little not so? If you get barrels from the same maker it will be easier on new builds and their setups, but with different makers having gas ports different sizes sometimes it's easier and better to use a heavier buffer (I'd elect to go with a heavier spring). If my math is correct (I'll verify when the A5 tube arrives) that it's 3/4" longer than a standard carbine length buffer tube. The A5 recoil system is designed to use a rifle spring w/4" buffer making impulse lighter? If that's true, then a possibility of doing the same for the AR10 is the same? What it might take is using the AR10 rifle spring and an AR15 carbine buffer (standard AR15 carbine buffer is 3/4" longer than AR10 carbine buffer). Bolt barrier difference between the 10 and 15 platforms are 3/4", so using the A5 tube is a possibility? with an adjustable weighted buffer (2 weights on a 10 and 3 weights on a 15) gives more weight flexibility!
