    Yes, you can use them for mid lengths also. Check the link I posted for Sprinco's recommendations.

    I just did, thanks again man. I have a version 1 Daniels as well. I think I am going to pick up the A5 for the Colt system and try a sprinco set up in my version 1.

    How about mid length systems. I have a few Daniels rifles and may work on one of them as well?
    I'll put it this way, choosing a buffer system (weight and spring type) depends on whether you are going to use a hybrid muzzle device (Griffin M4SD II, PA AFAB Mini, PWS FSC556, BC, BCM comp, etc.) or simply a flash hider (A2, Vortex, Blackout, BE 241, etc.).

    If you are going to use a hybrid comp, stick with the Springco WHITE and go with as heavy a buffer as you can (you'll be able to run at least an H2 unless your gun is an SR15 or a straight POS).

    If you are only running a flash hider, a Springco BLUE may help to reduce net muzzle rise when paired with an H2 or H3 buffer....but, using the BLUE with an H2+ AND any type of hybrid muzzle device (and anything resembling a decent stance) will, in my extensive experience, typically result in muzzle dip as the BCG returns to battery when chambering a subsequent round.

    Make sense?

    I know it was a Colt barrel, because some said they'd never cut a Colt barrel down (something about the markings or whatever). No one measured the gas port and I didn't ask ADCO to when they cut it down for me. It was tamed after all my mods, and a great gun--I just always assumed it was overgassed due to the symptoms. I'm guessing it was made between 1994-1997--I just know it had large pins and what I thought was a semi-auto BCG (hadn't heard of half-moon--but the pin was exposed a bit).

    Not one jam in the 5K I put through it, and I got it used. Was always accurate and just a great gun. It was my second AR (the first was a Bushmaster, but I couldn't turn down the deal on the Colt so I sold the Bushy).
    ------

    Note: Speaking of softening recoil, I just ordered the Blue Sprinco and an H2 buffer to see how that runs in the new BCM 14.5" middy with KMR. I'll polish the bearing surfaces of the carrier, and put 200-300rds through it before the Defoor class this weekend to check for function (and I'll have other buffers, springs and a bolt in the spare parts bag when I go).

    Why is it that adjustable gas blocks are being ignored as a viable tool to reduce recoil? When your playing with buffers and springs to reduce recoil all your trying to do is absorb as much energy provided by gas while maintaining a functioning weapon (and maybe bolt bounce if its an issue). This is exactly what an adjustable gas block is great at. Couple an adjustable gas block with the A-5 system, you can tune butter smooth and have the flexibility that tuning with only a buffer and spring cannot provide.

    Don't have room under rail for anything other than a BCM or Daniels Gas Block, Because of 15" VTAC rail.

    100% Gas seal allows full cut off and prevents gas from fouling metering screw
    - Complete disassembly is simple and take less than 10 seconds
    - Metering screw and screw bore design allows repeatability and reliability only SLR has been able to deliver
    - Single tool click to adjust gas metering
    - Heat treated 4140 Precision machined gas block
    - Nexturn Swiss precision metering screw
    - 6AL-4V Titanium Leaf Spring detent mechanism
    - 316 SS detent plunger
    - NO tiny springs to corrode, break or seize / NO tiny ball to seize or get lost
    - 100% Lifetime Guarantee
    This fits under an MISSG2 rail that has a smaller I.D than the VTAC. All you do to tune it is completely close it, dial out about 3 clicks, Load one round in the magazine and fire, open one click at a time, repeat until your bcg locks back and presto, you have the equivalent of the perfect gas port for your chosen ammo. If you get a smokin deal on some cheap low-pressure plinkin ammo and your rifle starts acting up... open up the gas block a bit.

    Glad to help. Using the buffer spring and buffer is a proven way to approach this problem as many of the knowledgeable folks on this thread have suggested. I like to point out the gas block approach as another option to people. There isnt any type of .223/5.56 ammo that I have run into that my two adjustable GB/A-5 equipped rifles cant be tuned to run reliably and smoothly. After i am done with low pressure ammo I adjust my rifle to my go-to ammo in less than 30 seconds, just dial completely closed and dial out to my pre-recorded setting ( hi-tech Laminated card in my pistol grip)

    Is there a chart somewhere that illustrates the power differences for ammo? I've heard PMC Bronze is pretty weak, how does it stack up to Wolf and Tula, and something like AE 193 or CBC 62 gr?
