Yes, I saw Slash's buffers. He has some that weigh over 5oz. But if it works fine with the DPMS OEM one, I don't see a need to fix something that's not broken. Just curious and anxious to finish my build.

I just received my DPMS carbine buffer and spring today and I was surprised how light the carbine buffer is ~ 3.1oz. My question is - the standard buffer weight ok with most ammunition? I guess I should not use an AR15 buffer or AR 9mm buffer to experiment since the buffer bodies are longer? I'm still awaiting my AP4 barrel which I believe uses a carbine gas system.

I am starting to spec out all the components for my SASS build and need some of the expert's opinions here. I was looking at the JP Bennie Cooley compensator and was wondering for those of you who have first hand experience, does it add a lot of weight to an already heavy upper? I do most of my shooting on the bench but sometime like to shoot off hand so I would like to keep the weight down as much as possible. Also, I was considering re-profiling the 18" SASS barrel behind the gas block. Is this a good idea to shave weight and still maintain barrel integrity? Thanks for any feedback.
