Just got an email for the BCM MK2 RMS. Sure looks like the A5 system, including the description of a spring holding the buffer in place.
Anybody have details on this?

That confused me too.
edit: Read it wrong. M16 spring and their RE.

It looks like Eric Kincel came up with a new spring system that improved on his A5 design and is not covered by that patent.
He used to work at Vltor and now works at BCM.

Someone send me a link to it.

Never mind... I found it. Sounds like a whole lot of nothing to me. Like the A5 setup.. Probably takes about 5 minutes to forget it's in there! For recoil mitigation.. Give me an effective comp. I don't really care if the guys at the range like me or not.Originally Posted by GH41

I have them sitting next to me, what details were you looking for? I'm honestly not sure what I can add to the email, but fire away.

What about the spring looks different?

Is the 8-position tube compatible with A5 guts? If braces somehow survive this round of ATF BS I *may* want to use one of these on a 12.5" I'm doodling. (It may be a 13.7 if I can find one that length with CAR gas and an FSB... why does every rail have to jump straight from 10" to 12.5"?)

I'm confused how this is at all different than the A5. Are they just trying to get around patent royalties?

Like some others have asked, mostly confused on what it is vs the A5. The BCM intermediate tube was compatible with the A5 buffers, so is this just BCM making A5 buffers, or is this a whole new system?
If a new system, what kind of improvements does it offer over the A5 system?
