I'm curious what experience folks have with either the VLTOR A5 buffer system, or the newer BCM Recoil Mitigation System. I hear they are nearly the same thing and even designed by the same person. My main question is if I were to get the system for my rifle, which buffer would suit my setup best. NB - I've read a number of people who say they can't tell a difference using the A5-type parts vs. regular carbine buffer, but I'm researching right now and considering giving it a try.
My main rifle is a BCM 16", midlength-gas upper paired with BCM bolt carrier group. I currently use an H2 buffer with mil-spec silicon recoil spring. I am a cheap shooter and I use almost exclusively 55gr/M193-type ammo.
Both the A5 and the BCM recoil systems are available with several different buffer weights. I'm curious a) which A5 buffer is "equivalent" to what I've got now, and/or b) which one might genuinely reduce felt recoil somewhat.
Thanks for any info.
