Buffer Weight/Spring tension question

[sreiter]

I have a 20" barrel and what to use a adjustable stock with it.

A standard A1/A2 buffer weighs 5.1 oz, while a standard carbine buffer weighs only 3.0 oz.

What is the correct buffer weigh i should use, and it there a specific spring tension I should be using as well?

thanks in advance

Use a standard carbine buffer and a carbine buffer spring (it is different from a rifle spring).

Or if you are concerned, get a Vltor A5 buffer setup which uses a special (heavy) buffer and buffer tube with a rifle spring.

In practice, a standard carbine buffer should work fine, all of the heavy buffers are used to fix over-gassed uppers.
