Good morn'n my beautiful fellow Texans.
So I have a 7.5", .300 AAC pistol. It's a New Frontier Armory with a folding st... BRAAAACE. Problem with this AR is that the LOP is too long, by about .5". So I need to remedy that before I become a one man Ruby Ridge/Waco.
To do this, almost a year ago I ordered an LWRC compact buffer tube, buffer, and spring kit. It came with a shorter buffer so that the BCG has room to move, but here's the part that makes me want to punch myself in the nuts, it needs a spacer. See the Frontier buffer DOES have this spacer built in, but the rest is too long. So I figured, what if I just cut the Frontier buffer down to the length of the LWRC? It has the spacer built in, so it should work, right?
Here is a picture that hopefully demonstrates what I'm planning on.
The RED line is where I would cut it to use the LWRC tip and the BLUE line to use the Frontier tip. Either way, after drilling the pin holes, it SHOULD work just fine, right?
I know I may need a lighter, or heavier spring, but for now, please let me know if this is a good idea.
Also, I thought about getting a Law Tactical spacer, but I don't have the cash right now.
Please let me know what you think and if you think this will work, or fail hard.
Thanks and God bless,
-Jon
