What buffer is suggested for a 20in A4 build?

Answered by VLTOR CS, guest, from AZ, United States, on June 17, 2026

Our go to buffer weight for most builds is the A5H2 that comes in this kit. The original A5 buffers(A5H2 weight) were designed for the 20inch M16.

I just purchased this system for my 20inch rifle length .224 Valkyrie from Nemo. Whats a good A5 weight to use for it? Doesn’t like to run Hornady.

Answered by VLTOR, guest, from AZ, United States, on August 06, 2025

Unfortunately we don't have data for use with the .224 Valkyrie, however the A5H2 is what we always suggest for a good starting point.

Do you know the specs (length, diameter, etc) of the spring? Mine fell out of the box and wound up in a pile with others of slightly different length.

Answered by VLTOR, guest, from AZ, United States, on November 27, 2024

The spring is a standard rifle length recoil spring. Rifle springs are between 11.75 inches and 13.5 inches long.

Can this be used for an AR15 Carbine build? Is the 5.3oz buffer weight OK or should I get the lighter carbine weight?

Expert Answer

Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on June 21, 2022

The Vltor A5 Stock Combo Kit could be used with a AR15 carbine build. The buffer you would need would depend on other factors like caliber and barrel length.

Is this considered a rifle stock or is it a pistol brace? If not a pistol brace does Vltor make one?

SanHolo, guest, from TX, United States, asked on February 03, 2022

Will this increase the maximum length of pull when compared to a 6 position mil spec buffer tube (13.5” LOP)?

Expert Answer

Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on February 28, 2022

The Vltor A5 Stock Combo Kit will not add or subtract to your rifles length of pull. Although it is Slightly wider and longer at the toe than a regular M4 stock with a noticeable negative pitch making transitions from the ready position feel more natural.
