i have been doing some reading on the 3 buffer systems.
it seems to me that vltor came out with their proprietary system to allow collapsible stocks with a buffer system that mimics the rifle buffer system, but you have to use their parts only (buffer tube, buffer, stock), correct?
then it seems like BCM came out with their intermediate buffer tube to allow the use of non-proprietary collapsible stocks, but still have to use the vltor buffers? so the end user will be able to use any magpul/bcm/el cheapo stock they wish?
in the end, all 3 systems are near identical function, just a different approach?
so if i don't need a collapsible stock, rock on with the A2 stock/spring/rifle buffer and save some money.
if i want semi-proprietary parts, but like magpul/bcm/el cheapo stocks better, then get the bcm?
if i want full blown proprietary, get the vltor?
i am aware that the spring is the same for all 3, and bcm uses a lighter buffer than what the a5 comes with.
am i making sense of this correctly?
