Recoil impulse was reduced, and in conjunction with the BattleComp I have on that rifle ease of maintaining the target was definitely enhanced for me.

    Quick question: How long (actually, how short) is your 12.5" SBR with the Vltor A5 closed as far as it can get?

    No prob. To clarify, that's with the emod stock. Balances perfectly (no can, FSB, and A2.

    Same experience with my 16" Noveske light recce upper; no issues with the A5, with all sorts of ammo, including PMC, Privi, Fiocchi, UMC, and Federal XM193. Probably a couple of hundred rounds of each.

    One other question. I'm certain that both the A5 Tube and my CTR are both mil-spec. There's a lot of play with the CTR and it won't lock tight like it does on my other standard mil-spec tubes. ??????

    I had a CTR on my A5, and the fit was the same as on a standard Vltor RE and a CMT RE.

    Have you tried another buttstock?

    Not CTR, but running an ACS, and fit is pretty tight. Just a hair of rocking. Not enough to be of any significance.
    As said, would try another butt stock to see if the issue is caused by stock or RE.

    Take the lock-lever out and squeeze the metal 'grabber' down a tad with a pair of pliers. Should take the play right out of it.
