Is there a money limit? Because for a $1000 a Colt 6920 with it's TDP background, track record, versatility, and high degree of reliability, pretty much sets the bar at a high level for those willing to commit to it.

Really I was just wondering about principles and possibilities... In the real world I have a daniel defense v7 and I was wondering what parts I should replace to get more reliability after I break 'em by shooting them out. That will be in years to come though, thus I was just wondering about the operating principles for fine tuning reliability for the Ar. The buffer assembly and bolt/extractor parts are mostly what I'm looking for; I wouldn't change anything other than that but I did wonder about the gas systems so I thought I would throw that out there.

You have a DD carbine. It's already fine tuned for reliability. You can maintain that reliability by following these simple steps.
1. Buy quality 5.56x45 ammunition in quantity and use it a lot.
2. Buy quality magazines in quantity and use them a lot.
3. Buy quality lubricant in quantity and use it a lot.
You will avoid numerous pitfalls if you adhere to the previous steps. Really, no bullshit! Add a spare DD bolt assembly, a few BCM Bolt Upgrade/Rebuild Kits, and some carbine buffer springs, and you're on your way to Nirvana. Really, no bullshit!![]()
The KAC gas system is definitely the smoothest

It's ALL about that little gas port in the barrel. Get that right for the system, be it middy or carbean, and you'll have a trouble free weapon.
I used to think the 16" with carbean was just a bad idea. But when retards don't over ream that gas port, the gun can run as reliably as a rifle.
An A5 or Rifle buffer system is icing on the reliability cake.

Reliable? Carbine length with an H2 buffer. Over gassed as all hell but it will run every ammo type. My previous SR-15 was unreliable as **** and choked up on .223 pressure ammo frequently enough to make me sell it.
The A5 buffers and middy gas systems are great. I personally run a 16" mid length with a standard spring/H2 and have had no malfunctions over 4,600 rounds and the bolt has locked back every time. I'd like to try an A5, but I don't see the need given how well the rifle shoots as is.
I've had great luck with both BCM and Colt 16" carbine gas barrels using M193 or M855 and an H buffer. I've also had 2 16" BCM middies that ran awesome, but I don't own them anymore. Just 14.5" and 16" carbines currently.
