New Cartridge Developments and Implications for Dismounted Infantry Soldiers
Hey, all --

I have a question (to which I should know the answer, but somewhat embarassingly don't):

Is there a difference in buffer spring force between the telescoping stocks used on carbines, and the longer, fixed stocks on rifles?

It occurred to me that the carbine buffer spring might be much stronger, since it has to stop bolt carrier rearward travel in a shorter distance.

If there is a difference, anyone know what the spring force measures for both types?
