    It'll be fine. A carbine buffer is already the lightest buffer. The Canadian C7A2 uses a rifle length gas system with a carbine receiver extension and H2 buffer.

    There is one on TM dunno if it would suit you, its Gunworks selling it, so should be OK,

    AR15 .750" low profile Gas Block | Trade Me

    Ask them if they can drill it to make it adjustable?
    What are the shipping costs generally? My gas block was $60 and that's all I've ordered. No shipping cost was given

    Looking at my Brownells receipts for something close, the best I can see is I got 4 x 5rnd brownells mags for $47US and the shipping was $17US. Worked out after USD/NZD exchange and CC charges at $85NZD for 4 mags, $22 each isnt bad me thinks.

    The write ups on stag have been good for 10 years.

    How much was the quick mount? and where from?

    Im still waiting on my xmas prezzy, not sure its going to be here before Xmas.



    If not Im cancelling the order and I'll go buy a Stag Model 4.

    Hi @steven, I got the rifle and scope mount from GUNSNZ.com I think it was $189 for the mount but better you double check it.
    Yes I hear you about the model 4, I already put myself in the position the if I "like" this rifle I will go to a 18" carbine style sometime in the future.

    So far I did some break in/sight in (8 shots) and I am very impressed, the last 2 shots was pretty much 1.5 hole, if you know what I mean

    Yeah I'm watching that site, if my order falls through Im going to order one. I want the model 4 for WSRA and the A2 rear sight is removable anyway.

    What do you think of the mount for repeatability, quality & longevity wise?
