But, if you think about it, this is how it should be anyways. If you have excessive back pressure the gun isn't running optimally to begin with.
SBR runs properly without the Gemtech bc. With the H3 buffer, the rear of the buffer shows zero contact with the end of the buffer tube and the recoil difference between the Gemtech and BCM bc's is non-detectable (at least to me on the 11.5"). I would occasionally get gas to the face when shooting 6 or more rounds in quick succession with the standard bc.. I wanted to try to eliminate the occasional gas to face with the Gemtech bc. However, the occasional gas to the face wasn't a target engagement stopper, just a minor irritation every now and then. I'd rather live with that and be able to handle the weapon all day without a glove vs. the overheated situation with the Gemtech bc. YMMV
