Buffer for Bushy AR pistol
Posted: Tue Nov 14, 2023 8:37 pm
Short version: is a T2 buffer appropriate for a 10.5” AR Bushy pistol?
Back story: I have a Bushy pistol upper and a 350 L pistol upper. (Iowa allows pistols during the late muzzleloader season, AR pistols included.) Both pistols have taken deer. But I only have two lowers, one of which is on a 300AAC in the bedroom wall safe. During deer season, the AAC loses its lower- not ideal. So I’m building another dedicated lower for the deer pistols. I have been running both deer pistols with standard buffers, but when I went to scavenge parts for the new lower, I discovered a pistol buffer/tube that I never used with a T2 buffer (Spike’s Tactical). So, do I build the lower with the T2 buffer for the Bushy, or the 350 L, or put the T2 away again and run two standard buffers? I’ve seen that 350 L likes a slightly heavier buffer but what about the Bushy?
