It's evolved since this video but still retains the core simplicity. I'll release an update video eventually you can find photos and discussions on the newer setup on my socials.

@bunnyoperator nice. Keep supporting the 2A. According to a hidden CDC study released via FOIA, guns are used defensively up to 2.5 million times per year, however the so called humanitarians on the left only seem to want to support that data if the defender drops the perpetrator, scaring them off and refusing to find out if the perpetrator means to do them harm doesn't matter in their eyes I guess. Keep being you, beautiful weapon. -Combat Vet

That's terrible. It's their Chicom outsourced soda can aluminum materials and lack of QC. Their design that uses the Tnuts is also failure prone. Just a shitty design.

Any shop that makes a 13.9 mid from factory would work for the most part but be cautious with "budget". Recommendation is to get what is within your perimeters. I will always recommend Centurion Arms but you can also look at BRT, BCM, etc. equivalent alternatives.

@ copy thank you sir.

Hopefully you didn't experience this firsthand yourself.

@@1940restorod That's correct. You save battery when it's not being carried.

CMMG recommends that you use the standard carbine weight for max reliability. I've tested the A5 system (along with my peers) with A5H0, A5H1, A5H2 and found that A5H2 had the most consistent ejection unsuppressed but A5H1 had the least reticle movement. You can watch the shorts videos on my channel to compare for yourself. Just search CMMG and they'll appear. I have since gone back to the carbine system to compare H1, carbine, and the CMMG carrier weight inserts. The configuration has also changed on my setup and I've updated to the Gen2 barrel that accepts their Colt mag lower. You'll see that config in the shorts videos. Stay tuned for the buffer test updates but LMK if you need anything else in the mean time.

LMT's fixed rear sight.

@@hardlylivin6602 Nice. I've read reports of that as well especially on the gen 1. The one in the video was a gen 1 and I was fortunate not to have had experienced ejector/extractor related failures in the 3K or so rounds. I've since swapped to a gen 2 to run their Colt based lower and one has been running strong. I'm only about 2K rounds in but I know the ejector components were upped to the 40 cal spring. That being said I've read that keeping the system running at higher cyclic rate is probably ideal for the wear and tear on the ejector, so I've swapped the A5 buffer system back to a carbine tube, buffer, and spring shown in this video.

@@bunnyoperator That's good to hear. Thanks for the info. Last question since you brought up the A5 system which I believe is basically identical to the mk2 buffers. How many rounds did you have through the A5 before you made the swap back to carbine? I'm okay if it wears out springs faster as long as I'm still getting at least 2k through the gun. The cost of a bolt tune up kit isn't much on 2k plus rounds.

@hardlylivin6602 Correct. The BCM MK2 is a variation design of the A5 and interchangeable. The designer for the A5 went to BCM basically. I didn't put that many rounds through the A5 buffers. I ran the VLTOR spring (basically milspec rifle spring) with A5H2, A5H1, A5H0. Probably 200+ rounds each to compare impulses, ejection pattern and dot behavior unsuppressed. You can find the YT Short video clip on my channel. A5H2 had the most consistent ejection pattern but A5H1 had the least dot movement. A5H0 just felt like a slightly better H2. I went back to Carbine config to re-test H1 and Carbine buffers basically. Carbine seems to be the most reliable with ammo variations, so I'll stick with that for now despite more dot movement.

@@bunnyoperator Thanks for laying that out. I haven't begun tuning the gun yet but you just gave me a pretty good head start. I struggle to see though how the lighter a5h1 buffers produce a more controllable recoil impulse over the heavier options. I always thought slowing down the bolt lowered recoil. Regardless... I'll be trying out more buffers later to get it dialed in where I want it. But this gives me a better idea of where to start. So thanks again.

@hardlylivin6602 It's a balance thing as weight shifts around. Over-buffering can cause issues too.

@@billprice6248 That's unfortunate. What are you experiencing? Have you reached out to Timney?

Yup, use the chapters to skip to your desired pattern.

@@proof8833 game recognize game. 😂

Keep spreading the good word until the leadership fixes their antics.

Are you perhaps looking at SAPI sizes?

@@bunnyoperator yeah, when you compared that small sapi plate to the large it really seemed like it was maybe only a quarter inch narrower. When it says on hesco's sizing chart it's supposed to be inch and a quarter narrower. (Wanting to buy a pair just wanting to make sure I buy the right ones) thanks for reply

@@calvins4084 The plates I showed here are the shooter and swimmer cuts for the L210 and M210 respectively. If you intend to get SAPI then those would look much different due to the lack of cut for the shoulder pockets. SAPI plates tend to be a smidge larger than the shooter and swimmer cuts in general, so the plates shown here shouldn't be used as a visual comparison.

@@UrbanTiger74 Yes, they're mini ACOG pattern with pass-through. Well at least the ones you'd use for carry handles are.

@@bunnyoperator Thanks again bud. I have a M733 that needs an optic.

@@UrbanTiger74 Nice. 1x is perfect for that. PA just released a GLx variant with buttons vs illumination dial if you prefer that. If you think you want a little more reach the SLx 3X is a solid performer as well.

@@Maine307 You can wait or not. Doesn't really matter but if you want to wait then just a few minutes until the surface doesn't appear wet. That would depend on how warm it is. The sun helps.

@@kevinraney5761 Nope. Different classifications based on OAL.

@@bunnyoperator ah so 12.5" is the bare minimum for the 26" AOL, nice .

@@kevinraney5761 Depends on your buffer tube length.

@@other4819 I'm glad that it was helpful. You can't physically ID an overcharged round for the most part. The best practice is to only use factory new ammo or if you must use reloads, only from a trusted source.

@@colelowenstein1201 Leupold DPP for 1.0

@@bradsmalt3852 None. Describe what exactly is happening.

@@bunnyoperator it fired but didn't extract or double feed. So I was assuming buffer weight. I was using crap ammo that I had laying around from factory range pickups so they could very possibly be the issue as well but all fired just no extraction.

@@bradsmalt3852 Could be the ammo or a combination. Double feed from failure to extract is an indication of short stroking from too little gas or too heavy buffer setup for current gas. Try new, factory standard pressure ammo to see what happens. Your gas system should seal up any small leaks after a few hundred rounds too. If you continue to experience issues you can try a lighter buffer. Double check your gas system while you're at it. It can also be your BCG being not gas efficient or spec issues. Lantac isn't on the list of well-known solid shops. I also don't recommend that you shoot range pick up/unverified ammo. Shit happens and sometimes really bad things happen.

@@bunnyoperator I'm comfortable with the range pickup i use because they come from a specific range and they are all factory but I rarely use them still because the potential for boom. I like the Lantac design but currently on a trial so no real experience with their bcg prior to this, I havent heard of any significant failures regarding lantac though so if you have specific experience id like to hear what yours was/is/ or has been. Seemed like a short stroke because there weren't any double feeds. Thanks for the feedback, I just put this thing together hoping it would run regardless but I may have to alter some things after all. I do have some other bcg's to try as well. Thanks

@@bradsmalt3852 Until you figure out what's going on stick to new ammo to eliminate a variable. Avoid Winchester white box and steel cased also. Lantac BCGs are known to be inconsistent in specs and may not be as gas efficient. That in itself isn't necessarily an issue but when combined with other factors such as lower gas situations via ammo or temperature changes it can affect function. Also if bought the nickel boron variant you're paying a lot for little performance gain and sometimes less performance. Lube needs to stay in critical areas and won't on those let alone nickel boron will chip eventually. Regardless, you have it, so run it. Go through your checking process. Check your gas components to ensure everything is aligned and secured. Run new ammo. If it works you're good. If not swap the buffer out. A5H2 is equivalent to H3 in weight so you can try A5H0 which is equivalent to H1. I'm assuming you're shooting unsuppressed. If that doesn't work then it could be your BCG so swap that out. Anything beyond this requires more in depth checks. You could also ditch the A5 for a normal H1 carbine buffer setup. Every rifle should run with that.

@@transporter13956 Yes, the AR-180.

@@redbeard7376 Pls do. The more data the better to help others. Do you mind sharing your configuration? Is your 19 all OEM otherwise? Do you know if your Alpha has a dimple at the vertical extension? Thanks

@@bunnyoperator I'm not sure about the extension. I got the trigger in June, whatever they were doing for gen 5 then,. Stock aside from a 507C optic and a light. Internals stock aside from the trigger. Also got the gun in June.

@@redbeard7376 Next time you pull your slide off look at the "shark fin" on the trigger bar and see if there's a dimple on it. That'll let you know if it's the latest version. The older ones didn't. The dimple was added to help keep the bar aligned under travel allegedly.

@@bunnyoperator Yes, it has what looks like a half circle pressed coming out of it so that must be the dimple.

@@redbeard7376 Yes, that's correct. Glad we confirmed which one you have.

It's a solid system for sure. Major vibes.

@@jasongaudreau2075 Not part of the comparison but since you've brought it up milled for direct mount ideally should have the optic sent with the slide to fit the specific optic to the slide. Optics have tolerance variances that need to be accommodated, so your anecdote reflects your sample but doesn't reflect all of it although Jagerwerks is a top quality shop and one of my go-to shops.

Nope. I do know that some folks experienced flickering or non-activation but I have yet to experience it. It also works with the double tap constant on function.

Nope. CMMG's MK9 lower for Colt mags paired with their RDB 9mm upper. The handguard is Centurion Arms. Link to their site in the description or in my profile.

@@bunnyoperator Dude you got to me so fast bro thanks you for the help! And if i could add to this conversation, is it a C4 M-lok rail carbine cut or a 556 M-lok rail?

@@BiggieA2008 This one is the one piece MLOK handguard that uses their proprietary CMR barrel but. The CM4 is a 2 piece design that uses the GI barrel nut but if you use an FSB then it'll work. You can see for this example that I have a fixed front sight mounted to the rail. If you search my channel for Centurion Arms CMR you'll find my video on their secret menu handguards if you want to sample those. I also touch on the C4 MLOK as well.

@@ochi5.56 💯 agree. Was your 19X factory other than the Alpha? Do you recall if the trigger bar had a dimple at the vertical extension?

@@bunnyoperatorYes it was 100%Factory 👍🏻 But to be fair - Maybe i dont shoot enough to find any Issue with the Timney ! I think i run 250 Rounds trough it . I am absolute on your side Sir! It would real piss me off if it fails everytime in a competition ☹️

@@0fficer47 🤝 it's evolved since this video

@@jbandz7792 If you find that you want the traction or require an ergonomic adjustment then it's a solid option but only you can determine if the cost is worth it.

That's up to your eyes, friend. T2 is a clean starburst to my eyes and so is the M5 but the T2 is capable of getting 1 step brighter. Some Holosuns don't work as well for me and they don't get nearly as bright as the T2 or M5. That being said, I'd favor the T2 over the M5 in general.

@@bunnyoperator that helps, thank you. All eyes are different for sure but I was curious if there was a generally clearer dot for comp 5s vs T2 and it seems they’re similar. I’ve got the T2 and will stick with it

@@watchin-stoof988 Same same for glass and astigmatism for me although the M5 has a little more tunnel effect to me.
