H or H2 buffer? Are the carbine extraction upgrades necessary with a mid length system on a standard bolt?
Any experience with the VTAC forend? It looks like a good handguard but I wonder if it won't heat up excessively during extended firing sessions.
The upgrades that are used to make CAR systems run better are 100% absolutely NOT NEEDED in a midlength. These include the LMT enhanced carrier, heavier buffers (H an H2) nor extractor upgrades. The VTAC FF tube is great, I have a few myself. You can use the LMT enhanced bolt (not carrier) in any length AR.
