It improves the weapon function tremendously. Any weapon system its on it improves the function, except ive heard it causes issues with the 14.5 Middy guns.

I would be careful with that assessment.

I'd say the A5 provides the same great performance as the rifle buffer in the smaller carbine package.

every gun I've put it on it has smoothed out the action even more than a rifle buffer. IMO, it improves the function of every gun. didnt work so well with a 14.5 middy though, not sure why.

Rifle buffer doesn't work so hot on my 14.5 middy either. 14.5 middy is it's own animal.

that would explain alot, didnt try rifle buffer on it, so didnt compare.

as much as i like the 14.5 middy, i think a 14.5 carbine with a A5 would be soft shootin system

It looks bad Is what I was getting at. I remember a guy in Astan who did that to his A2 and it just looked so bad. I suppose it has its purpose for the guys of smaller stature but god it looks bad.

The Canadians have been using a configuration like that for a while. Though I have never handled one per se, I can see where it has it's merits.
