will this work on a frt trigger?

A
Answered by Jesse Sando, member, from OH, United States, on March 08, 2026

Generally you'll need either an H2 or H3 for most super safety and FRT setups. Depending on the barrel length, caliber, and gas system- an H3 may have trouble cycling. But a minimum weight of H2 is recommended.

Is this a pistol length buffer

A
Answered by Para-Shooter, member, from OR, United States, on April 05, 2026

I am not aware of any "pistol length buffers". However, if you are asking if it will work with a "pistol length barrel", then yes, absolutely. Assuming you have a carbine length buffer tube and spring. If you are using a "pistol" buffer tube that is carbine length, yes it will work. If you are using a pistol buffer tube say an inch shorter, an AR10 buffer in the 5.4oz flavor should work. If you are using a "shorty" pistol buffer tube 3.5" inches or less, definitely not. Those require proprietary buffer weights in very limited sizes/weights. Without being certain what buffer tube you have I cannot provide a definitive yes/no answer.
