    I'm going to have to agree with markm. I know I have a quality barrel from a quality guy and it's built right. I am going to double check my buffers next time i'm out and then I will try lower powered buffer springs. I will also be keeping an eye out for a deal on a A5 receiver extension assembly. Thanks for the education responses. I greatly appreciate y'all.

    p.s. a suppressor is not monetarily feasable at this time. I've got a july wedding I am working on paying for. But a can is always at the top of my wish list.

    How many rounds total do you have through it ? Also what ammuntion have you tried ? If you have less than 500 I wouldn't touch the gas port until you are well past 500 the bcg group smooths up a lot after about 500++rounds. Also in my experience after the 2000 round mark the gas port has just started opening up on its own.

    I tend to agree with this, however I will say that I also have an 11.5" barrel (BFH) and I know the port size is such that I can run PMC Bronze, M855, M193, etc... and it runs fine. Once I added the Vltor A5 and then enhanced LMT carrier it runs like a super raped ape.

    Curly,

    You could try getting with some of your shooting buds at the range and test components (one at a time) from their firearms. No capital outlay involved on your part other than ammo and getting to the range.

    Good Luck, Keith
