AR rifle buffer questions

[A5BLASTER]

I use Superlative Arms adjustable gas blocks. An adjustable gas block is the only way to correctly adjust gas flow and adjust the BCG with buffer and spring combo. The lighter the BCG and spring set up is the less gas needed to move them. But BCG total travel (short stroke/speed of BCG stroke, and last round bolt hold) are factors. Different spring weights and buffer weights are something you need to set up if you want to set things up correctly. I would dump the rifle length buffer set up and get carbine set up due to more options and less overall weight.

You can get rifle buffers that weight the same as carbine buffers. No reason to go from a smoother buffer action to a harsher working one.

i guess if i want to go to an adjustable gas block, the first order of business will be to see what the barrel OD is for the current gas block and see if anyone makes an adj gas block with the diameter that would fit the barrel i have.

Who made the barrel? They can tell you exactly what size gas block it uses.
