I know it'll run great with the 20", I've never tried one on a 14.5" BCM mid. I just remember shooting with jonconsiglio a few years ago and he, and others didn't have as good of luck with that setup.
If ya'll say it'll run, I bet it will. In any case, the setup was going to have two buffers anyway, so if he has to go to a lighter with mid, then it's not a big deal. It's usually hot here, and we're low elevation....
With all quality parts, I find it difficult to make a gun NOT RUN WELL, with an A5 set up.
I have two 14.5's. (One is a BCM)I've run with a can and without a can.

Hi All! Finally jumped into the A5 world and got the bcm/vltor intermediate RE installed on my Colt lower. Im going to be running a milspec Colt 6921 upper (14.5 inch barrel + carbine length gas system) with this lower. Im going to be running a sprinco green spring. Although ill likely end up trying several different Vltor A5 buffers, I was thinking about starting with the A5-H1 (4.56 oz). What do you guys think about the A5H1 + sprinco green spring w/ Colt 14.5" + carbine length gas rig as a starting point?
14.5" and 16" have the same port size. My Colt has the A5H4 in it with Sprinco spring and it runs just fine.

my goodness! a 6.83 oz buffer in a 14.5" carbine (w a sprinco green, no less)?! I was not expecting to hear of people slinging that kind of weight around in their rig. Nonethelss, thanks for the info. Glad I asked the question. I never would have considered even trying such a heavy buffer in this gun. I pretty much just run H buffers in middys and H2s in carbines and call it good (have had excellent results with that practice). It seems that weight results from carbine RE + buffers cannot be extrapolated to the A5? I guess Ill just try out several different A5 buffers with different types of ammo and see what I can get away with. Thanks again, guys. Excited to shoot the thing!
