What do you guys think of this?

Yea the cast but is not staked yet. The sling attachment plate is made out of steel and can't be dented very easily. I'll be changing that out for a QD play in the future.

Shot the rifle today put about 100 rounds down range. Got the aimpoint sighted in good. Couldn't get the irons sighted in. I don't have a tool and the bullet trick wouldn't work worth a damn with the HK style front sight. I for see an A5 with at LEAST the h2 buffer in the future. This gun was throwing brass insanely far and ejecting at the 5-5:30 mark. I'm guessing that it's that over gassed? It's currently running a BCM carving spring and an H2 buffer. This was with some federal XM193 and Wolf military classic.

Ok well I saw the ejection pattern "chart" and I'm pretty confused by it. It says that my weapon could be short stroking but it doesn't feel that way. I feel like the BCG is coming back so fast that it's throwing the brass far away. It's a 14.5 DD mid length barrel. With an H2 buffer. I was worried about reliability with that combo die to earlier research I did saying that buffer was too heavy. What do you guys think? Lighter carbine buffer? A5 with an A5H2 or something lighter?

I would say that with 5.56 its gonna toss the brass a little farther than .223. If its running without issues, I wouldn't worry about it. Typically over gassed will throw the brass in 1 o'clock position as its getting ejected as soon as it can.

I think typically 14.5" middies are the most finicky and common advice says to run H buffer. H2 may be a little too heavy. A5 wouldn't be a bad combo with the standard a5 buffer. A standard H buffer will be cheaper than the A5 conversion.

It runs fine so far with the H2 but the muzzle jumps around more then my carbine 16 inch gun. I just want to smooth it out as much as possible.
