    My friend who had issues is in FL like me. It sat on his Kimber for a long time and dried out or something.
    I'm happy with Slip EWL and FireClean, but I use WeaponShield grease on a few spots like rails.

    Okay, kept the H buffer and did not switch to the H2. Put in the LMT Enhanced BCG (bolt and carrier) and it ran fine with M855. So I now know that a BCM middy will work with an H buffer and an Enhanced BCG using mil-spec ammunition. Next time out I'll try the H2 just for shits and giggles (forgot to take it with me yesterday).

Having now used it in winter conditions (far more severe this year than last year) and seen what it turns into after sitting for 6+ months, I'm going back to any of various oils. After a while in storage it dries out and turns into a chalky soap sort of thing, that doesn't work well, at least when it isn't hot.
    I wonder if there aren't formula variations too... The stuff I run is early production, and I thought I read where they'd changed the formula a little.

    There's like 3 or 4 guys on this forum who love Froglube and it seems to work for them.

    Everyone else on the 'net claims the stuff turns to shit and gums up their guns. EVERYONE.

    H buffer in my BCM 14.5". Runs flawlessly with all loads. Don't know about subsonic rounds though.

    I was running the A5 this weekend and it felt really good, but every so often it'd give me a weird recoil impulse. The brass stacks up nice at about 4, but an occasional ejection would go somewhere like 3. No malfs or anything, just a few strange cycles in slow fire.

    I kinda like the H buffer for 14.5 mid when it's BCM because their gas ports are sized on that smaller end. .076 I think.

    I have a 14.5" build that runs awesome with an H2 & standard carbine spring. It cycles so smooth & it'll practically dump a mags worth of brass into Folgers can at 4 o'clock. I also have a myriad of other ARs, some A5s with varying buffer weights & pretty colored springs. None of them run as good as that 14.5".

    My BCM 14.5 middy runs soft and smooth with H2 buffer and standard carbine spring when compared to two other 16" middys (BCM & PSA) that run H3 buffers with blue (BCM) and red (PSA) action springs. I almost explicitly run factory 5.56 pressured ammo with no issues. If I do happen to run 223 I switch out to an H buffer and leave the springs as they are.

    Sprinco blue spring, H buffer behind a 14.5" middy LW total BCM upper w/ BC 1.5, Slip 2000, ejects to 4:00, so far eats almost anything (have not tried sub-sonic).
