I'm assuming you're talking about the carbine and not the pistol?

Answer / Solution

1) The Carbon 15 Model 4 http://www.bushmaster.com/catalog_carbon15_AZ-C15M4PRE.asp will accept any of our barreled uppers as well as conversion calibers and gas piston systems in 5.56/.223 carbine uppers.
2) The buffer and spring would not need to be changed for a 20" barreled upper, gas piston system or any caliber except the .450 Bushmaster uppers. We would recommend using a hydraulic buffer http://www.bushmaster.com/products.asp?cat=601&zoom_highlight=hydraulic for the .450 recoil.
