Canada has used a plain ol carbean stock for years in their military.
mine works just fine. like ive said it works.
it ain't broke.. so ? why ?
I think we can all agree that for the overwhelming majority of us, a standard carbine spring and an H, H2, or H3 buffer has served us well for years. Vltor came up with an answer to the issues for the full sized M16A2 with the A5. Of course, it's only natural that more than a few would try to fuse that innovation with the carbine. After all, once you install it, you'll never have to replace the rifle length spring again, and you get the benefits of a very smooth recoil. I can see it taking off in the tactical community, as well as the 3 gun crowd. We as a forum are normally in the pursuit of the next greatest widget that can add to our capability and efficiency. I went the Sprinco route to accomplish a similar result, but I'm not discounting the A5, nor am I saying I won't eventually add one to one of my weapons. When I first joined, people were talking up CProd mags as the end all be all for Christ's sake. Things evolve, and times change, but in the end, to each is own.
