    I don't know what the different colors of JP springs mean. Some will reduce the hammer spring tension to reduce pull weight but it means hammer speed and impact on the primer is reduced.

    KNS pins are softer than standard pins and I think their diameter is a tick off

    Spikes ST-T2 buffer
    From what I understand, slow motion video shows the Spikes buffer doesn't eliminate carrier bounce as well as a standard buffer does.

    To me, the rest of the rifle looks good. I don't use a BAD lever. In my opinion, the lever doesn't look strong enough to resist damage if the rifle were dropped or roughly handled.

    Personally, I don't like the VFG or AFG. They feel awkward to me.

    I'd experiment with the sling attachment locations for better comfort when it's slung across your body. Try attaching the font part to the left side of the handguard and the rear to the left side and see if that works better for you

    IIRC Andrew of Vuurwapen Blog made up a high speed video that showed the ST-T2 actually increased bolt bounce.
    I paint spaceship parts.

    There's more than one buffer in there minutely causing bolt bounce as far as I can see.

    Its the fact that the spikes tungsten powder buffers work WORSE than buffers with regular weights in them. Confirmed by high speed video and number of personal experience including mine. Get a regular H2 or H buffer instead.

    The OP asked us to critique his build. M4C holds a higher standard than sup-par parts. It would be a disservice to him to recommend anything other than a real buffer.

    Don't worry about ST-T2, you've already got it and if your rifle runs, it runs, the ST-T2 isn't going to hurt it.
    I'm going to have to agree on the different colored FCG springs. If either are designed to reduce pull weight it can sacrifice reliability.

    If a good trigger pull is what you are after a ALG QMS is the best mil spec trigger for the money at $45. Great pull, no grit.

    I would also consider ditching the Troy and running a VCAS.

    That's what I hear. I have seen the bolt bounce video also. Remember that was taken with one setup used in the same weapon. It's an excellent video BTW. My gas system and spring is set up differently. I can imagine if you fool with the carrier type, spring, gas system, etc. you can get bolt bounce with any weight buffer.
    My point is that if the ST-T2 works, why spend the money for another buffer. Spend it on something else.

    I'd take the "Infidel" thing off. All that stuff, along with punisher logos and such wouldn't look so good it court God forbid you have to use that to defend your life.

    Same reasoning I'm telling him to ditch the sling, springs, and pins.

    Thanks for all the replies. I'll look into a new buffer for sure. H would be the best option correct? I have a standard carbine buffer in the box now I can replace it with. The EZ pull pins and sling will probably go as well.
