Keep same spring and go lighter on the buffer. Maybe 1/2pz st 1st than 1oz. I gave a 9.5oz buffer in a 6.5prc ar, but will need toto drop 3+ ozs.

Try a 5-5.5oz and add 3 weights since you don't have an agb. Must be overgassed is why such a heavy buffer. I wonder if they forgot the weights? Call an ask.

The buffer from the factory is a solid piece with no room for adding weights so I'll shop around for a replacement that allows for weights and report back when I have more data.
looking at it on a larger screen i can see how it's made better. i can send you some rifle buffers and extra weights for adjusting if you want?

Outstanding, that would be great, thanks much!
must be a long action buffer compared to a short action ar. it's probably the difference in length from where the spring rests on the ar10 and oal of the la buffer glfa has? you can measure the oal of the buffer you have as an ar15 a5 buffer might work. i'll need info from you 1st before checking against what i have? also measure the bcg length with the bolt at its shortest (pushed into the carrier). this way i'll have all (or should have) all the info needed.
pictures of the bcg, spring and depth of the buffer tube (could just type the tube info instead of a pic) also
