    Actually I mentioned the green one for use with the A5 set up. Springco doesn't make a green carbine spring to my knowledge.

    The gas port is .085".

    That is a Colt A1 barrel.

    Believe it or not they DO make a green one (I was looking at their website when I read that post of your's quoted above). And it is for the A5 buffer and tube setup. That's why I asked. So blue it is then for a regular carbine tube?

    I kind of feel lucky to have gotten this barrel. Colt made them for the IDF (or so I've heard in the past) at one time with a 1:7 twist so the Izzies could convert and use the heavier bullets like M855. They're supposed to be like hen's teeth.

    Seriously? Please do me a favor and read. The green spring is rifle length and for use with the A5 or rifles. Rifle springs are longer than carbine springs. The blue spring I mentioned is for carbines.

    Yeah, I know rifle ones are longer. Technically the green one can be used on a carbine as long as you have an A5 setup so that is where the misinterpretation of what you said came in on my part.

    How do you think the .085" gas port will affect things? It's a little smaller than the one you mentioned (.093").

    The .625" gas block seat is supposed to flow a little better than the .750", but I'm not sure it makes that much difference.

    I think it will be soft shooting. See below.

    Try it out and let us know how it went.

    That port size should be very soft shooting, like a very popular 14.5" mid length.

    I'd try something like an H buffer and standard spring to start.

    OP did not mention that it is duty/combat/HD rifle. There are people here who use their rifles for other things than combat.
    This is M4C, not TOS. Here we consider the AR to be a fighting tool first and a competition/varmint/junk yard shooter second.

    Holy crap, just regurgitate other people's shit some more. There is no "we". There may be a party line, but many people here do NOT use their rifles for "fighting".
