I came across this rifle that the owner couldn't lock the bolt back with the charging handle and otherwise ran poorly.
With the cheek riser up even a bit, the charging handle would be stopped from traveling rearward enough to lock.
Further inspection revealed the bolt was hitting the receiver due to a carbine length buffer. A rifle length buffer fixed that & runs better. (gee, ya think?) So, someone slapped on an expensive stock & called it a day, never checking their results.
I know a lot on these are proprietary & I've only fooled with ar-15 mil-spec sized stuff. Do they take milspec tubes and buffers so I can simply rebuild the back end with a stock I want? Trying to chase a correct answer all over the web is giving me a big headache.
