First, Welcome to the Forum. Glad to have you aboard.
Second, I moved this thread to the more apt AR-15 discussion forum as it fits a little better in over here. No harm done...
Now, as to your question - this is a gray area that comes up a lot, and quite frankly there are two sides of the equation.
Side A: Yes, you should have the large spring and buffer assembly because there is increased loading on said parts under recoil.
Side B: No, you can mix and match your buffer springs, as evidenced by some folks running 9mm recoil springs in their AR-15's.
Personally, I don't mess with what was designed in this case. The good folks who came up with the design, felt a larger spring and buffer was required. If they felt they could get away with out it, why wouldn't they have done so to save on production costs for the weapon?
My vote would be to order the correct size collapsible stock that you want, and it should come with an included spring and buffer.
