I've not known anyone to use one with a CAR gas system. I have over 20K trouble free rounds on a full gas midlength (low pro VLTOR gas block) with both 16" and 18" barrels. With a CAR buffer and standard rate spring with a midlength it still shoots really soft because of the less moving mass. I do run Wolff +10% mag springs 'just in case' the mags couldn't keep up with the added bolt velocity. Wolff mag springs fit into Magpul and Lancer mags with no issues.
Bryons lightweight inspired me so that's why I'm doing one too. I have a SBR lower right now without a upper on it. It'll be a 14.5" stainless barrel turned down to .575" (maybe even cut it down to 13.8") with a PWS FSC556 comp, probably a Troy Extreme tube or DD 9" Omega, JP LMOS carrier, probably a chopped carry handle SP1 upper I have which needs refinishing anyway and use a Fiberite stock, MOE grip and triggerguard. I might put one of my Dr. Optic sights on it with Magpul MBUS sights.
