Hey guys. I'm still sort of new to the forum but I have been a lot of your guys' posts. Anyway, I recently purchased an AR-15 lower, and have it mostly assembled except for the buffer and safety and grip. I am going to order the parts soon just going to do it all at once. Anyway, here is the upper receiver group I believe I am going to get: http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/BCM-BFH-14-5-Mid-Length-LW-Upper-Receiver-Group-p/bcm-urg-mid-14lw-bfh.htm
So here are my questions: When I asked Bravo Company which weight buffer they recommended for this particular upper receiver group they said that as long as I run good quality mil spec ammo they would recommend the H weight buffer and if I run crappy, non-mil-spec ammo they would recommend the carbine weight. Obviously they preferred that I run the high quality mil spec ammo. So since I know absolutely nothing about ammo, especially 5.56, what is meant by the term "mil spec" when it comes to ammo? Does that just mean I need 5.56 NATO? And then what are your guys' thoughts when it comes to the H vs Carbine weight buffer systems? Here is the buffer in question: http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/Stock-Hardware-Mounting-Kit-Mil-Spec-p/stock%20hardware%20kit.htm
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
