    I stayed away form the Brownells mags thank goodness, went for the Lancers - steel lipped, poly body design, very happy with them.
    Feed flawlessley, drop easily and nice and grippy when handling them.

    Hello everyone, hope the "long" weekend is going well to you all.
    A few weeks ago i enquire regards what was the "best" option to "remedy" the "maybe" over gas" in my Stag model6. I have suppressed it and everything still works beautifully, however, i start to hear that buffer spring sound in my stock as i release a shot (stock is an AIL "A" cat). I felt it also got a little rough during the shooting so accuracy has been compromised as well.
    Everyone who reply to my question suggest the adjustable gas block but i am thinking seriously in just a heavier buffer, so my question is…

    What is the opinion you guys who has that many AR's in the safe and have upgraded and or modified it regards the two options i mention here, Gas block or heavier buffer?

    Thank you in advance for the attention.

    My options for heavy buffer are Spikes Tactical ST3 (5.4oz) or Heavy Buffers | Products | HSS Tungsten AR15 Carbine Buffer

    A rifle buffer (that you currently have in your AIL stock) is already about the same weight as a T3 buffer (Rifle is 5.2 oz, T3 is 5.4 oz). The heavy buffers only work in carbine receiver extensions, and are only heavier when compared to the standard 3.0 oz carbine buffer.

    Even with a carbine receiver extension, switching to heavy buffer won't fix over gassing from a suppressor. A suppressor will increase bolt velocity way more than a heavy buffer can reduce it.

    no its not meant to be quiet, I never here it anymore. You can buy a JP unit which is silent but pricey to solve nothing

    Heavier buffers are for M4s only? I think the rifle just has one weight? Adjustable would be what I would do as the less omph you have to deal with the more accurate you should be.

    My Stag model4 boings occasionally, put a bit of heavy grease on the spring?

    They're for any AR with a carbine receiver extension, but shorter gas systems are more likely to need them for reliable extraction.
    The rifle buffer has 5 weights inside it.
