| I'm going to be getting the taccom lightweight buffer and was wondering people's experiences with either taccom, wolf, or taran tactical reduced power springs? I do have an adjustable gas block. Please comment only if you have experience with the springs or spring/buffer setup. |

Quoted:
I'm running the Wolff 10% reduced spring with my Taccom LW buffer system and SLR Sentry gas block. Runs great |

Quoted:
You're gonna love the setup. Just be absolutely sure to follow the tuning/setup directions. |
| I have one of the Taccom carbine buffer kits and it works well combined with a lightweight carrier and adjustable gas but I can't really tell any difference between it and a standard buffer with weights removed and  a regular spring.  I guess it also depends on what you ultimate goal is but mine was to replicate the soft shooting and almost non existent muzzle rise of my rifle barreled 3 gun rifle on a 16" and 14.5" midlenth pair of guns.  The adjustable gas and lightweight buffer and carrier made a big improvement on perceived recoil but a decent muzzle brake played an important role in helping control  the muzzle stability. |

I don't have light bcg at the moment but am still considering getting one. Do you feel like a 3 oz difference would make noticeable reduction in felt recoil? I run mine with a LW BCG from AIM. I have several AIM BCGs and they work good for me. I have 2 of the LW ones, one of which has been running in my 3gun rifle for the last 2 years. It must have 15k rds through it at this point. |

That's exactly the one I was looking at getting since it's a great price. Any preference on the nitride vs Nicole boron lw one? I had read some forums/reviews where people said they thought the nitride one was better |

I had read some forums/reviews where people said they thought the nitride one was better I prefer the Nitride. It is the newer (better IMO) version. My NIB has about 15k through it and the coating is flaking a little on the gas key. No biggie, and it could be an isolated issue as I bought it literally the day the LW BCGs were introduced. They seem to have improved them quite a bit over the first generation....judging between my 2 samples. |

A full-mass BCG will probably short-stroke with a reduced power action spring. I have thousands of rounds on Taccom's UL buffer system... |
