    Interesting. I don't remember ever seeing anyone else comment that the green spring essentially produces more felt recoil. I don't think I've ever used the stock spring.

    I can see why they would say that, but I still use it. I do have a Tubbs spring in one of my builds.

    YMMV but try it out. Love to know what your results are.

    All this A5 talk so I had to try one. Ordered a BCM lower with one today so let’s see.

    Thank you. So the BCM ships with the H0 buffer. Would there be a better one for a 14.5 BCM middy upper? What about Springs? I’ve heard talk of Sprinco green on here.

    Yeah they’re weird about that. I’ve been using an A5-3 and Springco green on my BCMs for a few years. I don’t know if it’s the best solution, but it hasn’t given me any issues in either gun.

    It does. Why? It takes more energy to compress. It's like a stiffer suspension on a car lets you feel bumps more keenly.

    I have no science behind this but I’m thinking the lighter spring but a heavier buffer is probably better but I don’t know.
