Noveske N4 14.5" midl-length N4. Heavier weight than a "pencil barrel" to keep the muzzle down, 14.5" mid-length is widely reported to have the least amount of pressure.
Battlecomp 1.5. Battlecomp is clearly the new hotness in muzzle devices, and many here will attest to it's ability to reduce muzzle climb.
Vltor A5 stock system. Another part that, if you read through the threads, is reported to reduce muzzle climb, or at least felt recoil.
Geiselle SD 3G trigger. Appears to be pretty widely regarded as a "fast" trigger, and IIRC it was designed to be such.
Eotech XPS. The Eotech fans all seem to use "I'm faster with it" as one reason they like it.
12.0 (at least) Brazillian handguard. Brand immaterial, but one of the reasons we hear for longer tubes is "driving the gun", so while not a speed issue on an individual target, should come into play on multiples.
Noveske FFL lower. The flared magwell seems to get billed as an aid in speed reloads.
Magpul BAD lever. While having largely fallen out of favor, at one time at least it was billed as being faster on emergency reloads.
I'd also like to know what might be considered the "slow" alternatives, and if I would gain anything else, like reliability and durability, by going with them. Would the below be considered to be slow enough? Should the barrel maybe go to a 11.5" and the handguard to an M4 or MOE with stock FSB? Basically, a stock Colt 6933 with ACOG? Ideally I think the goal here would be to avoid NFA items though.
Colt 16" A1-profile barrel with carbine-length gas.
A2 Flash hider.
M4 stock system.
GI trigger.
Trijicon TA33 ACOG.
7.0 or 9.0 DD M4 handguard.
Stock Colt lower.
