I'm looking to put an A5 with standard buffer in my Noveske Light Recce (midlength gas, 16 inch barrel). I'm shooting PMC Bronze. I see a lot of info on other rifles with carbine gas systems, or info on 14.5 midlengths, but I've been looking for A5 experience on my particular setup. I'm certainly not averse to experimenting with buffers but I have a course coming up and don't have a lot of time to tinker beforehand. I can wait til after the course, but if experience indicates that it's a reliable drop-in, I'd go ahead. The rifle functions perfectly as is, although I confess I'm not sure where the shells eject to.
Any experience? A5 on 16 inch midlength with relatively low-power ammo, Noveske gas port?

I recently installed an A5 on my BCM 16" midlength, and I've shot everything from M193 and M855, to Remington and Federal 223 loads, down to my handloads, some of which are really low-powered, and I haven't had any issues reliability wise; such as short stroking or a sluggish BCG.

I emailed Noveske, they responded promptly and reassured me that all Noveske uppers are designed to work with rifle stocked lowers including the A5.
So, I just installed a standard A5 in my Noveske Light Recce...straightforward RE install as expected. The Hammerhead wrench is a great tool - broke that Noveske 2-point staking no problem and I was interested to see that the staking dimples lined back up on the notches on re-tightening the castle nut. I guess I shouldn't be surprised at that, but I was. I'm a little inhibited about going out to shoot it since bow season is open, gonna wait until I can get to the range.
As expected from a longer RE, a standard VLTOR iMod on the A5 doesn't close all the way to the endplate, which is no big deal since I never shoot it with that short a length of pull anyway. Like all the VLTOR receiver extensions, the A5 extension has numbers on the top that indicate stock position through the little window on top of the iMod. Silly little thing, I suppose, but I like that.
