Is there a way to eliminate the spring and buffer from an AR platform 22? It's unnecessary weigh and really serves no purpose except to keep the CMMG style BCG assembly in place. I was thinking that you could remove the buffer tube detent and spring and then back the buffer tube off a few threads and then add a thin screw-in plug to butt up against the bolt assembly. The buffer tube is held in place by the nut so it should stay put.
Anyone seen anything like this or find a different way to eliminate the buffer and spring?
ETA: I haven't seen an M&P 15-22 broken down. Do they still retain the spring and buffer?
