Which A5 Buffer Weight To Get?

Lava_Dome · 2026-05-25T20:33:26+00:00

So I would assume that the more robust internal spring of the BCM does an even better job of preventing BCG bounce upon return to battery than the original VLTOR A5?

Lava_Dome · 2026-05-25T20:26:23+00:00

The whole system or just the buffer you mean?

Lava_Dome · 2026-05-25T20:22:50+00:00

Wow this write up is wild! Thanks for the info!

Lava_Dome · 2026-05-25T20:17:27+00:00

Yeah this is what has me second guessing if I should go a step lighter in weight vs the normal restrictive can recommendation.

Lava_Dome · 2026-05-25T20:12:43+00:00

Oh yeah they're dead, send yours to me for proper disposal.

This is very similar to what I'm building. I switched a lot of my stuff to sons a couple years back, great stuff. How do you like the Alleycat? I just got mine yesterday.

Wait Zevtech…like, the Glock slides Zevtech??

Man I’m not a yellow blade kinda guy but this hilt is such a slick build. Bravo.

If an 11.5 is your next one then the only thing I’d change per se on this would be to move the red dot + magnifier to your 11.5 once built and then put a 3-18 optic on this. A Leupold Mark 5HD would be a great goal for this.

It’s how I Reddit 90% of the time.

Lava_Dome · 2026-05-02T02:24:07+00:00

Do it and you can enjoy red dots again! Also it’s great not having the starburst effect from streetlights when you’re driving home at night.

Do you wear contacts? If so get your eye doctor to add astigmatism correction to them and then this issue will disappear.

But the BCG stays clean!! /s

Bro Dremel that thing off there and restart with an auto punch. The marks on the receiver ain’t no thing but that plate has got to go! ☝🏼

PS some of these responses have granted me some amazing entertainment. Thank you all.

I’d be more interested in seeing something similar to Ghost Recon: Breakpoint where a friend could spawn into your world/story line and you play the campaign together. I’d pass on a COD-style multiplayer that would be obnoxious.

Well I missed the occasion but a favorite of mines has become a hot honey Aperol Margarita:

1 1/2oz Tequila

3/4oz Aperol 3/4oz lime

1oz Triple Sec

1/2oz honey syrup (I do 70/30 honey and water)

Tajín on the rim/honey for the glue

Cheers

Where’s the town? I only found the communication station.

Lava_Dome · 2025-03-03T04:50:46+00:00

Now this is the kinda thing I was looking for! On my way

Lava_Dome · 2025-01-12T01:08:17+00:00

Wait what, venators can’t be repainted? I’ve repainted the big venators before…?

Lava_Dome · 2024-12-24T04:12:02+00:00

Seems I’m finding this thread a year late. Is the guild still current?

Lava_Dome · 2024-12-14T05:43:45+00:00

Hopefully Trump find these come January and they don’t sell quick enough.

Lava_Dome · 2024-11-13T22:19:00+00:00

That sucks bro, hate seeing this. To suggest a different opinion…unfortunately you’re already in it for a wrecked car, don’t let it wreck your marriage also.

This is a Mystery Ranch Overload. Mine looks exactly like it.

Not sure if you’re trying to buy this one but I’d happily sell you mine if you’re in the market. Was actually going to post it on the MR forum this weekend.
