I saw Roger share this in his FB group and was about to post it on my thread from the other day. This was definitely the best single read on it that I've seen and helps me to better understand a lot of the stuff that people here have said. One thing that I'm still confused about though, is the buffer selection. I've seen it discussed plenty of times here, but don't know that I've ever seen an answer that is commonly accepted AND easy to understand. BCM includes the A5-0 with their kit and in the interview, he says that it works well with relatively well-ported 14.5 mids, which I would assume includes BCM's at .076. But, plenty of people here, myself included, can run theirs with a green spring and A5-3 and still get normal function including consistent lock back on empty. What's the best answer for this? My initial understanding years ago (which came from one of the various threads here) was to use the heaviest buffer that would have have normal function, but I'm wondering if that maybe isn't the best answer.
Sic semper tyrannis.
Also, if biasing the internal weights towards the front of the buffer is considered optimal why aren’t solid buffers a thing?
To prevent bolt bounce, where the bolt unlocks slightly after lockup leading to a possible light firing pin strike. I think the internal loose weights move to rear when buffer hits RE at full recoil and remain there until buffer stops forward motion at lockup, then weights slide forward due to their momentum and oppose bolt bounce off the barrel extension.

Probably not, unless your splits are as short as Jerry Michulek.
Since many consumers are keen on buying carbines that are marketed as "mil-spec" it only makes sense to have the same internals as true military carbines, within NFA guidelines.
I’ve wondered the same. If semi only, could we get the consistency that the biasing spring offers, simply by being solid, but of the appropriate weight?
I went so far in that thought experiment as to fill the internal space of an H1 buffer so that the weights could no longer slide. I was unable to tell a difference, and had no stoppages of any type in a couple thousand rounds. I put a proper buffer back in that rifle, just because, and I still can’t tell a difference.

Wish he'd have said something about availability because it doesn't really matter how great or cool they are when they're non existent.
Ive bought four of these A5 buffer kits. Ive never waited longer than two weeks when they have been out of stock.
A great system.....I like it
