Switch to an A5 buffer tube instead of the m4. What a difference in recoil impulse and ROF.

I believe the recoil rod was bottoming out in the m4/CAR tube, as my rod ended up getting bent with use. My aluminum lower was also seeing a lot of excessive wear.

The extra length of the A5 buffer tube give the bolt carrier it's full stroke. And has created an almost constant recoil style of impulse. I am using a KAK industry A5 buffer tube.

See video for a comparison.
