Title: AR10 buffer
Post by: les snyder on March 02, 2012, 12:29:19 PM

just so you will know... an AR15 5.56 rifle buffer is longer than an AR10 .308 rifle buffer... and if installed in an AR10 will not allow the bolt to retract far enough to chamber a round, and will result with a bolt over feed jam....another reason to not clean the damn things

Or at least a reason not to clean two rifles at the same time without remembering which part belongs with which rifle  ::)
