    These sure are an interesting improvement.
    I’d also be interested in where to get these for a good price.

    Im curious as well, esp. how it compares to the A5 system. Just from looking at the patent, Im thinking the benefits will mostly be seen in full auto fire. The biggest improvement in terms of regular semi-auto ARs is the altered cam path to delay unlocking which has already been designed in the LMT system. The buffer system in the tail of the carrier is just doing the same job as the buffer weights and the clipped gas key shorter buffer is just a way to pseudo lengthen the receiver without changing the dimensions.

    Lengthening the receiver (virtually speaking) is the magic.

    I can't wait to see some reviews.

    How here's the million dollar question. Does the pseudo extra length prevent the buffer from bottoming out against the rear of the buffer tube to achieve "constant recoil"? (as much as the term can be applied to a closed bolt semi-auto only system)

    In my mind this is a big plus since it'll take some of the burden off the mag spring.

    Cool to see these are out in the wild now. I’d be interested to try one eventually.

    I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested. With that said, I'm not in a rush to dump $450.

    They are not cheap and prices vary from $400. to $450 on them. If you compare the Surefire OBC *system* with a complete LMT enhanced BCG that usually sells for around $320., or what the top of the line KAC complete BCG’s sell for (a lot more), $400. for a complete system, probably is not to far out of line. Just like high end optics like S&B, Nightforce ATACR series, Leupold Mk8’s, top end Aimpoint’s RDS’s, KAC rifles or expensive luxury cars,etc., they are not for everyone, but IMHO, the best never is.
