Greetings,
I would like to use a low mass Bolt carrier in my KAC SR-15 with the E3 bolt.
Will it work?
Thanks

Im trying to soften the backwards recoil impulse while speeding up the gun
I feel like there is a small delay similar to the scar 16 but not as pronounced.

thanks for the reply regarding the low mass bolt carrier in the sr15. How can I minimize the backwards push i feel from my gun? It seems as though the recoil impulse is delayed similar to that of the scar 16 but not as pronounced.
I find my sr-15 has more recoil than the legacy mod 1.

What type of shooting are you doing exactly.
I have an early SR15 E3 upper.
It would not cycle some cheaper 55gr. Steel cased ammo, even with the supplied carbine buffer, it never cycled this ammo reliably even with a hot gun in the hot summer. It also would not cycle quality .223 ammo (Prvi 75gr.) in the cold. Because of not being able to further reduce buffer weight I was only able to reduce carrier weight. I purchased and installed a JP lo mass carrier. This fixed my problem. To further tune the system I went to an H buffer. An H buffer + JP lo mass carrier still weighed less than the milspec carrier and carbine buffer combo, but it allowed the gun to cycle my training ammo, and other ammo in the cold.
I only did this to fix a problem I had due to the gas port size of this gun. I believe since then the gas ports have been increased and this problem no longer exists. I you don't have a problem I probably wouldn't change anything.
When not running this ammo, and running 5.56 I went back to a full weight carrier and an A5 system with an A5H0 buffer.
