    Have you thought about going with a rifle buffer system? If weight is a concern (outside of the rifle buffer weight itself) there's the ARFX skeleton stock (a1 10" length I believe before adding butt pads) and the Magpul rifle stocks (a2 length or a bit longer if memory serves) that aren't very heavy at all.

    Also, for a muzzle brake that won't break the bank, look into the Manticore Arms AR15 Nightbrake. Ploufdaddy (sorry if that's misspelled) has a video out on them and recommends them as best bang for the buck offering extremely similar performance to the BattleComp (and therefore I would assume Dynacomp as well) for half the price ($57).

    With the A5 RE, do you use the RE-10 6 or A5 7 position? Been looking myself.

    If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

    The last thing I want to do is hurt you,
    but it's still on my list.

    have you considered a springco spring in combination with a heavier buffer?

    My 6920 was WAY over gassed too.
    I did a lot that helped--H2, stronger spring, SF mb556k brake (Lantac is probably better for less money--unless you want a suppressor), etc.
    It definitely got MUCH better--but cutting it down to a 14.5" helped the most I think.

    They didn't have the A5 back then, but that supposedly helps too.

    Of course, you could sell the upper and get a BCM KMR 16" middy with a nice comp/brake, too.

    Your 6920 is not WAY over gassed.

    It was bought in like 1998 or so (an LE marked one with a semi-auto BCG, which was weird--but original). Even the guy I bought it from at a still-extant gun store online said it seemed over gassed. The deflector was beaten to hell, which everyone seemed to notice, and it sent cases about 12-15ft away at 2:30-3; the gun also got much dirtier than other guns with the same amount of rounds.
    I had a shade-tree gunsmith shooting with me who thought it was overgassed, but maybe it just had weak springs or something. I did a lot to it (listed above) and it really softened up.
    Again, maybe there was another explanation(s) like weak springs.
    (Just remembered I got it from a guy at Talon Arms--I think they're still around, but this was a used gun they sold me right when they were starting out.)

    My 6920 was purchased early/mid 90's and came with a half moon bolt carrier.

    I am going to try a H2 buffer tomorrow, leaning more toward ordering a A5 system for that rifle though.

    Blue spring for a carbine spring or green spring for the a5 kit.
