No issues with any of the factory ammo I've shot so far. I am using a super heavy 7 oz. I run a Vltor A5 with the standard buffer and an adjustable gas block with a suppressor on a 16" Wilson Combat barrel. Soon to be an SBR. I've used a rifle length buffer system and a H2 buffer with my 18" middy upper with no problems. Quick Navigation Beyond 5. Bookmarks Bookmarks del.
