We base our products off TDP, then make changes on top of the dimensions and tolerances. Technically speaking, they're not TDP spec anymore, neither is A5, or any 3rd party development that differs from the original Colt drawings. If we made all things TDP spec, we'd be making factory parts. The important parts where we don't make changes to adhere to TDP specs.
I see a few posts lately about these RE’s, so this may be the right place to bring this up. Seems availability being an issue and cost for some, so why not a flat wire?
Is there a real advantage to the A5 over the Tubbs flat wire spring? Seems like other than possible heavier buffer options and the spring in the buffer they are nearly accomplishing the same thing, more spring coils to work with.
So if heavier weights are not needed, and the spring in the buffer is not noticeable, am I missing out? I couldn’t imagine my AR’s possibly running any smoother or reliably. I’m talking BCM middy, H2, & flat wire, with 22lr like recoil but smooth. Runs PMC bronze, steel cased, 5.56, 77gr etc
I have no experience with the A5 personally, but am considering purchasing one just for comparison.
I cant tell a correctly gassed carbine from a vltor. Vltor comes into its own when you're trying to fix issues, imo
At the time, there was good reason for it. Alot of feces was being flung around the market with no real way to discern the difference. TDP is not the end-all-be-all. But if you're going to deviate, you should be able to articulate specific reasoning for it and provide data to back it up instead of a just great marketing.Quote:
