Can I run a Vltor A5 on the MCR dual feed upper?

Yes. I’ve done it before. The whole buffer and weight thing is tricky in my opinion and CAN be tuned to run 55gr stuff suppressed all day. There’s a few good combos out there and just use a bigger spacer.  You don’t have to buy the fancy ones. Throwing quarters down the buffer tube and then having the sealing disc it came with works. Using a MG42 spring and clipping the standard 2 works.

]Lubing the links a little helps. If you’re looking to strip links I’d say upgrade to a MG42 and add quarters until the BCG will pick a round up reliably.

If you’re looking for rate of fire, swapping buffers will do fine. A nice thing bout running an A5 is that you can play with hydronic buffers.
