    that's the next upper i'd build and it'd be used on this lower so it'd be good to know.
    It's a little heavier than a LMT/KAC SOPMOD, Feels like a CAR stock with a VLTOR EMOD on it. Not bad at all.

    Just curious,what kind of ammo are yall running with those H2 and H3 buffers and rifle gas systems....SAAMI spec .223 Rem. or 5.56 NATO?
    My 20" rifle gas uppers with M16 BCG's on LMT SOPMOD'd lowers are in slowmo with SAAMI spec .223 Rem and will want to short stroke when fouled using an H2,especially Wolf.That said the H2 is good to go with 5.56 NATO in my guns wet,dry or fouled.I never even considered the H3.
    I typically run the CAR or H buffer as my all around choice.
    Give some more details fella's,Im looking to add to the notes on the above configurations that are listed so far....particularly the 18" intermediate gas systems.
    TIA

    The new VLTOR USMC A5 EMOD stock assy is very nice too and purpose built for 18"-20" barrels. I'm using on my BCM 16" midlength and it's very nice. It uses an extended length receiver extension, rifle length buffer spring and a 5oz special length buffer.
    Where'd your A5? VLTOR and BCM websites say NOT IN STOCK
