Has anyone tried a fixed A1 or A2 stock with rifle lenght buffer?
I'm using a CMMG A1 stock & fifle buffer with a rarebreed 1st gen 2 position on a 30 carbine upper.
It chugs along about as fast as my Lage slowfire uppers.
I need to get the shot timer out for a real round count per minute.
It's really pleasant to shoot at the slower speed though.
Yes, I have done some testing with rifle length buffer tubes and buffers. I won 3rd place at the Knob Creek SMG match in like 2006 using a rifle length tube and an Olympic Arms Pneumatic buffer. Those are great till they leak which is pretty soon. I had two of them and they both didn't make it past like 2000 rounds. They required a rifle length buffer tube. There is also the Armanov buffer which I think also requires the rifle length.
Fast forward to today, I don't really have any configurations that I feel like I must use a rifle length tube.
Also bear in mind that you can have two configurations running the exact same cyclic rate and one is smooth and the other isn't.
I don't know if you are familiar with the Ferfrans RRS carrier but it will drop the cyclic rate in whatever you setup you have by another 200 RPM. However, I personally think it feels weird. Like the 'harmonic's' are off. Like I'm waiting for the round to go off but the cadence is off from the mechanical delay. Maybe it is just me as I have another friend that loves it.
I don't think it has anything to do with the rate as I have other setups that I have clocked at the same cyclic rate and they feel smoother to me.
