    Which BA Hansen are you guys using? They make a few 10.3" versions.

    I am using this one:

    Running mine with the ST-T2 that my rifle came with. Wondering how much difference a A5 set would make.

    Have not had any issues with it yet.

    It can be done. The barrel isn't designed for conventional handguards, but it'll work.

    For a bit I had kind of wondered if I should have gotten that one instead. But I'm happy with it so far.

    Not that I got it for shooting groups, I should try shooting some, hust to see how it does.

    This is exactly what I have. 10.3 with a 9.5 Geissele MK8.

    Let me know if you need any info on it.

    I did sbr a few years back. Started life as a Spikes tactical M4LE.

    Replaced the barrel and hand guard, everything else is just about original (as far as the guts anyway)

O rings flatten and deteriorate and jam up the extractor.
    Using the BCM spring without the O ring is not recommended then? What's the best place to get the currently recommended extractor spring?
