Just adding this to the thread to show that even with Brown Bear, the A5 functioned in my 16" mid. (BCM). I added a SF break to it to just see how controllable I can get it. Pretty crazy, all my hits were in the 6 inch bulls. I also ran the BSA with PMC, Aguilla, and some IMI m855, no problems either.

I am set on getting the A5 system for an AR based around a 16-inch mid-length barrel. I know the standard buffer and spring will work very well. Has anyone experimented with the slightly lighter A5H1 4.5oz buffer with an extra power action spring such as from JP Rifles or Springco? I'm thinking a little less reciprocating weight. It may not even be noticeable. Just curious to see if anyone has experimented with this. Thank you.
I wouldn't mess with it.
The system works very well as is.

Not sure if this has been asked yet, but is there a way to adapt the A5 system to a pistol lower?
Considering there is no difference between a pistol and a rifle lower I would take a guess that it will work fine. Probably wouldn't hurt to make the RE so it won't accept a stock. And you'll have a long RE on a pistol...

not to derail,
but I just do not even start to comprehend the notion that ejection pattern doesn't matter. I agree that there is variance in a few shots,particularly the first few, but their mean location once everything is relatively steady state is certainly the most important attribute that an observer can determine the health of the system running. Particularly in this conversation of buffers and springs, If you are purely changing buffers and springs I don't even look at much else,
It should go like Carbine=forward around 2 o'clock with your mid range ammo, if you're ejecting 2 o'clock and bouncing off your handguard with Wolf, and you don't have the sense that the true hot ammo is going to stovepipe on you then fine.
If your gun is doing that with wolf you go heavier in buffer to move the ejection mean location to around 3-4 to be safe.
Same with the rear at say 5 o'clock, if you're doing that with a H3 setup and your hot ammo, you are floating on the edge of problems.
Solve it by a lighter buffer and your ammo ejection pattern will move forward.
Full mags add more force so take that into acct particularly if you're on the rear side of ejecting because any additional drag on the BCG might even further put you onto problems.
I have a great video of this, I'll dig it up and tube it if needed for clarification, is it that people don't believe this or are we talking about 2 different things. I've even modified ejectors strength but ejection pattern with an idea of how it runs is just like a mechanic and a knock in an engine, it may not mean anything to you, but the mechanic can tell if its lifter vs. crank bearing and that is alright or really freaking bad.
