So I bought a S&W M&P10 earlier this year. It came with a PRS stock, a Kyn-shot Hydraulic rifle length buffer, and I'm presuming a standard rifle length spring. It was a nice setup but it was WAY too long and heavy. I swapped out the whole back-end for a carbine length tube, carbine spring, and carbine length buffer. Was about to head out to the range to try it out yesterday and discovered that the bolt stops about 3/4 of an inch in front of the bolt catch.
My question: what are my options to make this all work out. Do I need a short (2.5") 308 buffer? Or an A5 or PA10 buffer tube? Both? If I go that route will I actually need to buy the A5 buffer/spring like they recommend or could I make the setup work without it? Is there another option I haven't even thought of?
