Thanks. Video was informational.

Details? It's my understanding that the A5 has longer travel and a rifle length spring, and that makes it smoother shooting than a carbine RE. That and you can't really stuff a spikes ST-2 in there. So the rifle RE is a bit noisy, any other disadvantages?

Personally I have one lower (rifle buffer) and two uppers: BCM middy 16" and a rifle length 18". I don't think there's much to gain by way of buffers, but if you've got ideas I'll think it over.

point being, they don't offer a variety of buffer weights for rifle length RE's. None is needed.

But basically, a rifle buffer will work with a wide variety of configurations. It's the heaviest, aiding in reliability, but rarely is it too heavy (yes/no?). It should work with a 10.5" bbl to 24", as long as it's pretty much stock (M16 carrier, proportional gas port diameter). Am I...

It's the heaviest and possibly smoothest. Does an Vltor A5 or carbine buffer system really have much shootable benefit over the rifle length? I'm running an ACE socom (long) stock, it's already adjustable, just not as collapsible as a carbine system.

They're really cool, but $1200 is too rich for my blood. Is rather upgrade parts slowly

That's pretty damn cool. Sorry if I'm sidetracking the thread... What's the upper made out of? Extruded aluminum, or polymer, or??

I dig this kind of stuff. Ar-18, expedient stampings. Need a poor man's ARAK

Thanks. I was interested in PSA. Model 1 only offers HBAR profiles apparently. A lot more people have had success than have given up on x39 I'm guessing after reading plenty of threads.

After reading a lot of piston AR threads, I followed the most common advice: Just buy a BCM. (I still want a piston AR) Last summer I got a BCM deal on a 16" middy upper with Mod 0 comp, BCG, and MOE handguard for $480 shipped.

Beretta Prof: good eye! I'm not into quad rails or m4 profiles, but it still looks like a tempting value for the money. High strength bolt, x39 extractor, and a charging handle for $319 to boot

I plan on using ASC mags, and adding AK springs if needed, and possibly filing down the front feed lip as necessary. I also plan on polishing the M4 feed ramps/ barrel extension wider. I'm going 16" carbine gas.

I've read a lot of threads on x39 and AR's. I still want one I can just throw an ASC mag in and go. Some have high strength bolts with different shaped lugs. Some have x39 extractors Some have blended m4 feed ramps Some have recessed carriers, others extended firing pins And one day I...

Thanks. I'll just get a PSA carbine I think. I wanted a dissipator too, but I'll not since the carbine barrels are usually mid weight it seems.

I've seen a few barrels offered in this configuration. I'm familiar with middy benefits in 5.56. Is there benefits of reliability issues in 7.62x39? Does it use a smaller gas port? Is carbine length gas still optimal for x39? I dig middies

I work in a CF factory and this thread interests me. we make the bare tubes for DPMS and I've worked in molding a bit too. We don't mix polymer or use short fibers

It looks comfortable and cool. I was intent on the Diamondhead rail until keymod/Mlok became popular. Looks hand filling like an MOE. I like where this is going. Could care less of the skull mag well

All good suggestions. Look for a BCM deal, get a 16" middy lightweight and BCM comp. pair with a rifle length buffer. Done. Otherwise lots of aftermarket stuff: Vltor A5 buffer system Adjustable gas block Muzzle brakes Shock absorbing MAKO stock

I shot 3/4 moa with my friends 308 VTR, my best ever. It was highly modified, but used the original triangle barrel. He had the brake machined off and threaded for a flash hider. VTR B&C stock Timney trigger 10rd mag conversion
