Has anyone needed a heavier buffer? Mine does not like the standard weight buffer.

I SBR'd mine, but I've since ditched my red dot setup and I'm about to purchase my M4 silencer for Gordy/BD/BHD pseudo-tribute-clone-ish-ness.

Sprinco Red and H2 runs perfectly.

I run H3s or Spikes ST-T2s in all my ARs. Most are shot suppressed with older, non-flow through cans, and/or eventually run dirty. I like the little bit of extra ass to make sure they go into battery. I don’t run weak ammo or gamer handloads, so the little bit of extra reciprocating mass doesn’t bother me.

ETA: the Gordy and Heat to quasi BD lowers are both on F1s

Here is where it stands now.  Added the TIA MD and a couple sprays of paint.  Crazy how different it looks in diff lighting.

Looks good! Will an armorers wrench fit the flats on the TIA MD?
Also using a crush washer?

Mine is also a TIA. Standard wrench works. Yes you need a crush washer

My TNTE barrel should arrive tomorrow. I believe I have all the parts now... looking forward to getting this thing built on Tuesday! I watched the film today for added inspiration.

I ordered a barrel from gorilla machining and have been waiting for almost a month. They emailed me today to tell me they refunded my money and cancelled the order apparently. Weird. That sucks. Guess I have to look for another one. Good thing I’m not in a hurry for my build
