Not really! He said: " i have another lower with an a2 stock and the 22 arc runs just fine on it, it has a rifle buffer weight. (6")"
your thoughts on an ar short stroking

since the rifle buffer weighs more than most carbine buffers it still could be op'd. the extra weight of the buffer helps out. i don't have a single faxon barrel (223w, 6.5creed and 308win) that ISN'T op'd. the creed and win were the worst in op than the 223w (minimal extra weight required). maybe they (faxon) does the military type ports to ensure it will cycle? still, it's short stroking and that really over pressuring from what i remember?
rereading page 1
rifle buffer works fine, carbine doesn't..........that means it's overriding the next round and can be fixed in 1 of 2 ways (possibly both).
1) use an adjustable gas block
2) install a heavier buffer (h3-h4 possibly)
most standard weight of a carbine buffer is ~3ozs. that's almost half the weight of a rifle buffer.

No no no, a rifle buffer doesn't work in a carbine, it's too long. nothing to do with weight.
He has 2 different lowers
