could anyone help? ok does the length of the barrel and gas tube on an AR assembly need a specific buffer spring length? if i choose to make a 20" barrel and rifle length gas tube, does the buffer tube/spring/assembly have to be a certain length?

No, the stocks used dictate the buffer and spring (really the spring). The upper doesn't care.
OK - So I'm having a problem with my rifle length buffer
Here's the specifics:
rifle length tube/buffer/spring
I install a Vltor Modstock and the buttstock screw is too long and prevents the bolt from being pulled all the way back - inspection of the buffer shows the imprint of the screw
Can I run a carbine buffer with the rifle spring and still keep reliability?
I can cut the screw but I don't have a die to clean the threads afterward
Suggestions welcome
No, not the adjustable stock - this is the A2 length modstock - MA compliant and all...
