cst Wrote:can you compensate for the buffer weight with an adjustable gas block?...in otherwords.,if you have a light buffer then you need to restrict the block more???I originally used a standard carbine buffer in my 18" AA Grendel barrel with a JP adjustable gas block. But I noticed a lot of bolt bounce when I did a high speed video of the action cycling. There was some discussion about this at the time and there was a fellow that was involved in making muzzle brakes and other parts for AA. He said that the ideal buffer weight for a carbine is 152 grams in the Grendel he called it H3G. I contacted him and purchased the body and weight for the buffer. I added the new buffer and found I had to open the gas block almost fully but it took care of the bolt bounce.
