You can run low mass but it may take some tweaking the gas and tuning the buffer spring to get it right for the load you're shooting.
A full Auto BCG will function with a wider variety of loadings than the low mass. You get more felt recoil with the heavier BCG. The low mass will cycle faster and have less pervceived recoil. |

If you go with the low mass bcg your going to need an adjustable gas block, low mass buffer system and the right kind of ammo. And I believe they work better in barrels 16" or longer. Unless your a competition shooter and that's the way you want to go.

Yep this^
Low mass BCGs are primarily for competition guns. |

Try shooting it before you waste money on more parts. If it doesn't work, then you can worry about it.

Since it is on-the-way might as well give it a try. Then you will find out for sure you need a adjustable gas block (or NOT). Sun Devil Mfg. is making a adjustable gas carrier key.
Sound like a better adjustment point and easer to install. |

Thanks for the input guys. I have a couple recent builds with full mass bcg with less than 50 rds on them that I can swap it out with, if it doesn't work. It was an impulse buy anyway

Thanks for all the input, but the low mass bcg worked flawless. I have only test fired 5 rounds this evening after I completed the build in the back yard

Glad to hear it.
I'm planing a lightweight build and will be getting a low mass carrier and adjustable gas block for a 3 gun AR. Let us know your impressions once you get a chance to shoot it some more. Enjoy it. |

May over gas with 556, don't know? The only reason I even went low mass was I picked up a VDI life coat pretty cheap. |
