    I looked but can't find it, could you link that thread for me? Thanks.
    Proven combat techniques may not be flashy and may require a bit more physical effort on the part of the shooter. Further, they may not win competition matches, but they will help ensure your survival in a shooting or gunfight on the street. ~ Paul Howe

    I have a BCM EAG upper that would have issues with Tula/Armscor/etc for about the first 2-300 rounds; since then I have yet to encounter any further issues (rifle has about 3K rounds on it now). I fed it a steady diet of XM193 for the next 1K or so.

    My main plinking/range round is PMC bronze and my bolt locks back 100% of the time; I use an H buffer and BCM carbine action spring.

    I briefly had a BCM EAG upper and it functioned fine with American Eagle .223 with H and H2 buffers.

    I couldn't even tell a difference between the buffers.

    In case you missed my previous post, your situation has nothing to do with the topic at hand. I can assume that you have very little knowledge of the system and you could probably do some reading here.

    If you have a question about your particular set up then post it in the NFA or Technical area.

    Last week when we went shooting I pulled my LMT enhanced carrier from my SBR and dropped it into my 16" carbine with the Vltor A5(H3) buffer and fired it using M855. It ran 100% with no issues.

    14.5 middy

    My 14.5 Mid has had zero problems so far with anything I have fed it.

    Uh no Cameron.

    We'd rather see pics of how the 'better half's' middy shoots.

    I'm running a BCM 14.5" middy with the standard spring it came with and a H2 buffer and have had no issues what so ever. I put about 3000 rounds down range and have used everything from Tula( very little of it) to m193 and it's ran perfectly.

    Another BCM 14.5" Middy here. Standard spring and H buffer with no issues using even weak .223 ammo.
