    Due to local laws, I HAVE to have a permanently fixed muzzle device regardless of barrel length. Taking that into consideration, I decided it made more sense to have the shorter 14.5" barrel with the 1.5" muzzle device pinned and welded. I also opted for Noveske's Light Weight Mid-length and it has been exceptionally reliable and accurate with .223/5.56 using just a standard Colt H carbine buffer. I contemplated the A5 system at one time, but after researching it here, it seemed like "too much of a good thing" as some have put it.

    The 14.5 middy is the problem. Not the A5.

    Agreed. For that configuration it is unnecessary. If I was using a 14.5" carbine or even a 16" Mid then I would absolutely install one.

    My Sabre 14.5 Middy from Iraqgunz has an .080 port, and would run an A5 just fine since it was running the Rifle buffer like a champ.

    But the .076 port doesn't work optimally with the A5. It's the gas flow as much as the 14.5/Mid combo that dictates the best buffer system.

    My 14.5 BCM middy runs just fine with an A5 standard A5 buffer. Granted, I don't run crap ammo through it.
