I have it, tried it on a few ar’s. Dont notice a difference in recoil. Agreed with maybe starting from the beginning with it but would not change to it
I don't use the VLTOR A5 system in it's entirety. I use the BCM intermediate RE, Sprinco Green Spring and VLTOR A5H2 (5.3oz) Buffer for my 11.5 and 16 inch carbines. It works great in my 18 and 20 inch rifle setups as well.
I switched to this setup for no other reason other then to try it. So far so good, I really like it.
NYH1.
Whats the downsides with this system?
Do you mean aside from the pros/cons of the initial post?
Friendly tip, as a new user understand that 90% of time on this forum is best as a research tool. This thread is only 6 pages long and considering the breadth of your question I'd guess you didn't read it, but …
From post #1:
Page 1 of this thread pretty much handled most of the heavy lifting on the subject. If you have a carbine RIGHT NOW and it works, as in runs like a singer sewing machine in whatever conditions you intend to use it in, then why bother messing with things?
But.
If you are buying a fresh rifle, especially if you are building it from parts, there are a bunch of things that you can do to improve on the stock TDP design. Get a better barrel profile, use mid-gas, run an A5 system, consider an ambi lower, run an ambi safety, install a better trigger, get better coatings on your BCG, maybe get an enhanced BCG, use a different muzzle device than A2 in order to mount a suppressor... Many of these things are incremental improvements. When taken in total, they can dramatically increase reliability, ease of use, and the smoothness of operation.
Or, you can get a 6920, an optic, a white light, and a sling, then spend all available sheckles on ammo.
