I'm over the A5 system, do you think its worth it?

It does. Why? It takes more energy to compress. It's like a stiffer suspension on a car lets you feel bumps more keenly.

Ohhh that made sense. I’ll have to play with it this weekend to see if I can feel a difference.

All this A5 talk so I had to try one. Ordered a BCM lower with one today so let’s see.

Where did you order from?

Brownells had them in stock as of a day or two ago.

Thanks. They seem to be one of the only places to have them in stock.

Ar15 safe space has the tube and then the spring/a5h2 buffer kit both in stock

I just ordered a Holosun 507c from them for $229.99 which is about as cheap as i have seen. They are GTG

The A5 kit comes to $102.20 with the a5h2 when you add both items to cart. That is the only downside. You have to add stuff to cart to see if there is a discount on some items

BCM's 14.5 is a very soft shooting platform. Stick with the stock parts they give you, at least for now or if/when you experience any issues. Likely, you won't.

Thank you. So the BCM ships with the H0 buffer. Would there be a better one for a 14.5 BCM middy upper? What about Springs? I’ve heard talk of Sprinco green on here.

Brownells. 10% off plus free shipping yesterday so got like 40 bucks+ off the complete lower.

How did you get the 10% off?

I run all A5's now: the main benefit is the increased reliability and consistency running many types of ammo. I think I can detect that the recoil pulse is smoother as well, but that's subjective and not something that in itself, I'd upgrade to A5 for. Ultimately, it's about one thing: reliability with many types of ammo whether running suppressed or unsuppressed.

BTW, Weaponoutfitters has a workaround for folks who hate trying to assemble an A5 kit by buying parts all over the place (like I had to :-)). Sometimes they don't list the Sprinco green in their dropdowns for this kit, but they still carry it and you can add it to your cart.
