    I'm running a standard carbine buffer in my 14.5" BCM middy, works just fine and ejects at about 3:30

    Your info is pretty close. I have a 2013 production SS 16" middy BHW barrel, 5.56 chamber .082 gas port. Measured with pin gauges. Sprinco white/ H2, they run their ports on the large side.

    Thanks for the reply. I sent BHW an email asking them to confirm the spec they told me last year. The reply stated they would not confirm/provide that info.

    In the interested keeping the record correct regarding people's/company's reputations: I got a call from Carl Caudle of Black Hole Weaponry regarding my gas port question. Felt I should publicize that after my previous post about them declining to answer my question.

    I just picked up a BCM 14.5" With BCM comp mod1 pinned mid length. Was deciding on what buffer to build the lower with, leaning toward an A5 system but have a Spikes ST-T2 and a standard carbine buffer tube laying around. The sprinco blue spring is just $20 bucks and the rep from Sprinco actually recommended running the spikes with the blue spring on 14.5 mid length more so than using an H2.

    I guess my question is the A5 worth the extra coin and going to smooth anything out that much more? I see a lot of mixed opinion in this thread.

    The A5 will be smoother than the ST-T2. I would opt for a regular H or H2 over the ST-T2 as well.

    I run a Colt "H" buffer in my 14.5" BCM ELW middy, it ejects 3:30-4:00.

    PWS MK114 (14.5")
    I am currently running the st-t2 buffer, wondering if anyone has any experience with different set ups for the PWS, thinking about getting a sprinco buffer spring and not sure which to get and if I should switch buffers. Rifle runs great as far as ammo goes, but I feel like it makes more of a "thud" noise like its slamming against the back of the receiver extension.
