Hi folks...

In the proccess of finishing up an SBR lower that I intend to run an Vltor A5 system on.

I have had good luck with the A5 on another rifle (BCM 11.5 suppressed)

I've decided to try the Syrac Adjustable gas block. Question here is since I intend on running this gun mostly suppressed can I get away with a super light A5 Buffer (H0) since I can dial the gas way back?

I'll plan on using a heavier buffer when I switch uppers.

Just trying to plan ahead for any issues with operation that I may have.

Seems like it'd work.

I would assume so. However, I think this is uncharted territory, so you may have to experiment. Please report back with the results. :D

I just realized that your name was the cop from Smokey, and the Bandit.

Lol. I hadn't seen that movie in years, and it was on TV the other day.
