    Good. Every gun is different. Test it out for yourself and report back.

    Maybe this weekend I'll get Pappabear's E carrier out and do 10 rounds, quick bolt groups swap, and 10 rounds more to see if one carrier is more thrilling than the other.

    I would really recommend the A5 or rifle type buffer system before installing the e carrier. The e carrier tends to over speed and needs some added mass to slow it down.

    Yes! I'd love to hear how it runs on your 11.5.

    This isn't uncharted territory. I run it in my 11.5" and my 12.5" and I use the A5. Pretty sure I have posted this several times.

    I'm specifically interested in Mark's 11.5 which, IIRC, he tuned down significantly. I'm curious about what difference it introduces, positive or otherwise, and possible adjustments thereafter to make it run optimally.

    I thought you or him or was referencing to a BCM 11.5".

    No, I remember is being discussed that other thread. I'm seeing this as an opportunity to test it with the gas system being the only variable, and one that's adjustable at that. It'll be interesting to see how far it can be pushed.

    I already tried that gun. It seemed to give the recoil a little more "pop".

    I was more interested in how it'd work on some 14.5s. Mid and Carbine.

    Dd you try turning the block down to see where it would go? This is what I'm most curious about, specifically, how far down while maintaining reliability which the e-carrier appears to inherently increase. When you mentioned the slight increase in recoil, i remembered Grant's SBR and began to think about the possibility of it going the other way as gas is tuned down.
