If you have a rifle length (A2) style buffer tube, use the AR15 model. If you have a standard Carbine length tube, use the M4 model.

Will this help with recoil on a carbine 12.7x42 ar 15

Manufacturer Answer

Answered by Griffin Armament, Manufacturer from WI, United States, on May 21, 2025

If you are running a standard Mil-spec weight buffer spring, this can help with the felt recoil however you may need to tine the system as you will be changing the dwell time and cycling pattern. You may need a different buffer or adjustable gas system.
