Smoothing out the 11.5

[Boogieman2]

Yeah seems like the genral vote is A5. I think I’ll stay there. Seems like a better roll of the dice to be honest

I have the Geissele Super 42 in my 11.5" BCM AR pistol. Not a lot of rounds through it (under 500) but it works fine with no problems. I had a few ejection problems early on but that was gone around 50 rounds or so.

At the advice of Mr. Larson, I am running an LMT enhanced bolt carrier with BCM bolt and parts, green Sprinco spring, A5 buffer tube with A5-2 buffer with a BCM 12.5" upper. I have only shot it with M855, XM197, Fed Gold Medal Match 77gr and Fed AE 62gr & 55gr. So far it has eaten everything without a hiccup and shoots pretty dang smooth.

I'll be bringing one of my SBR's with me since the new 5320.20 approval times are taking less than 14 days.

Op, by “smoothing out” do you mean shoot flatter? I’ve got a 12.5” and 10.5” and both run smooth with green Sprinco springs and H2 weights. Action is reliable in both. I’d direct smoothing to the exit point. What muzzle device are you using? I find a good break to have more affect on flatter shooting than slowing my action. Another area for recoil management is weight. I prefer light quad rails over slim, ultra light tubular rails. For me, the few extra ounces yield flatter shots and quicker follow ups. What’s the rest of your build?

I took him to mean, less felt recoil/quicker return to target.

“Smoothing out” appears to be M4c code for reducing recoil. I was reading an older thread on here yesterday about a buffer designed to reduce recoil. Everyone was jumping on the don’t be such a sissy bandwagon. Because the OP used the word recoil. There were even posters stating that the rifle has none.

But if you say “smoother”, the same people come out of the woodwork with compensators, gas port dimensions, A5 buffers, PMC Bronze, and rainbow colored action springs.

You are not reducing recoil, you are smoothing the curve so it has a lower peak.

Some people call it ‘felt recoil’, but Its best to avoid feelings and quantify it.

A buffer cannot reduce recoil unless it adds mass to the rifle. However, it can soften recoil. It can make the recoil feel smoother. Softening and smoothing recoil helps the shooter control recoil better.
