A5 buffer setup using A2 extension with spacer?
Posted: January 12th, 2024, 7:57 pm
Im in process of planning out a 6.5 Grendel AR that will have a fixed stock, either the Magpul PRS or Fab RAPS. I would like to use a rifle length system as I already have the spare parts, and would like to try a low weight carrier and buffer setup. My intention is to try to make a A5 buffer system with a rifle length tube. Based on what I have found online:
Carbine extension: 7 - 7.25"
A5/SR25 extension: 7.75 - 8"
Rifle extension: 9.5 - 10"

So is it a fair assumption that putting a ~2" delrin spacer within a rifle tube would give it effectively the same internal depth as an A5 extension?
Brownells has some premade options that could work, however they may add an extra 1/2" or more to convert into a carbine length rather than A5.
