I have a BCM lightweight middy and it kicks harder than my 16 inch carbines.  It seems louder, spits more fire and it's hard to keep on target with a nx8 on tge 1x setting. Is this normal due to the lightweight barrel?

Mine is a 14.5" standard profile midlength and it's very smooth using a Geissele Super 42 buffer spring (with an H2 buffer, IIRC?).  Try a different buffer maybe.  I'm very impressed with the Super 42 spring combo, as well.  My BCM is the smoothest shooting AR I've used.

Go Vltor A5 or BCM's similar buffer system - solved.
