    Exactly.

    As far as the BCG? DD, Colt, or BCM would be fine.

    I hate to say this, but almost all buffers will show wear on the face from the BCG. Nothing to get excited over.

    I have 2 Bravos and both where good to go out of the box.

    So you guys see no reason to go with ion bonded, or Fail Zero, or any of the other wonder finishes (like the AR15Performance, POF, etc.)?

    There's a lot of discussion that the powder weight operates differently than the solid weights in an H or H2 buffer, and that there's no need for the in between weight of the T2. It's really up to you, every application is slightly different.

    Nope, no defendable reason to spend more for special BCG finishes.

    I highly recommend them to people who want to spend more money and to those that don't want to do a little cleaning. Other than that I can't see a reason to not go with a standard BCG.

    CS springs just have no business there at all. I put one in my gun once and turned a reliable carbine into a turd. Really... There is a reason that the spec for an M4 doesn't call for a CS spring.

    And the Powder buffers flat out don't work as good as real tungsten weighted buffers.

    I have tried a couple CS springs, and they had a noticeable increase in felt recoil. If I were to get anymore it would be the Brownells regular CS springs because they are the same 'power' as regular SS springs. Even the blue regular power sprinco springs are much stiffer than a regular spring.


    I tend to use standard components because its easier to tell if something is off and pin point any issues. Besides its not like 'regular' parts dont work very well in an AR, and its easier to diagnose a gun thats not filled with odd ball non-standard parts. The non standard parts likely come with a new whole set of possible issues, too.

    YOU NAILED IT!!!!

    These goobers used to pop up on ARF with a list of every aftermarket piece of shit money could buy!! Diagnosing their gun became a job for the Scientists at NASA.
