392heminut Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Rene, a buddy of mine hit the nail on the head this morning. He said "You should go back to the PD and see if you can get your old job back, then you wouldn't have to work so hard!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Back at the Grendel news... Stiffer recoil than the 5.56 stuff. Between 5.56, 300BLK and 25-45, they all feel the same. Well, for some reason, the 25-45 recoil feels a little bit less than regular 5.56. Weird. Anyway, the Grendel has more of a kick to it, but I still wouldn't call it anything near "heavy recoil..." No way... You can tell there's a difference, though. Built the recoil system from the parts box - regular carbine buffer spring, mil-spec carbine receiver extension, and a standard-weight carbine buffer (3.0 oz). I figured that would be the first thing to change now, but instead of just going to a heavier carbine buffer, I picked up a VLTOR A5 recoil system. They have a receiver extension with either 6 positions or 7 positions - so I grabbed the 7 position. Did the A5 H1 buffer, which is 4.56oz - damn near the same as a carbine H2 buffer, which would be 4.7oz. Armalite M16 rifle spring. Probably won't get it out until next weekend, but we'll see what kind of difference it makes. I've got some buffer options in the future, if I want to go heavier. Weights for the A5 buffers A5 H0: 3.80oz A5 H1: 4.56oz A5 H2: 5.33oz A5 H3: 6.08oz A5 H4: 6.83oz Compared to these: AR15 Carbine Buffer Weights Carbine Buffer (Avg 3.0 oz) Heavy (H) Buffer (Avg 3.8 oz) H2 Buffer (Avg 4.7 oz) H3 Buffer (Avg 5.6 oz) Rifle Buffer (Avg 5.0 oz) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
