  1. One of my wife's cousins lives in Spring. We stayed there once. The rest live in and around Washington County where my wife was raised. Now, her brother and his family live in Louisiana and her mother is there now, too.

    Keep on doing what you do.

  2. @TRIARC Systems, LLC I’ve got an 11.5 w/ A5 system an Law folder. The Sprinco green spring with H1 or H2 doesn’t allow the bolt to go fully to the rear resulting in a failure to feed. Can someone chime in with alternative spring choices? Looks like a white spring could work but not sure it’s ideal with the A5 system. Also, does the Law folder change the spring choice or just maybe buffer weight?

    Thanks

  3. Having a chicken or the egg problem. When tuning a new build, what should I try changing first? The buffer or the spring? What gives you the smaller incremental change?

  4. Looking to upgrade A2 style stock to Lower mid grade collapsible or more modern fixed. I do like the battery storage on my eight to stock though it’s great for extra red dot batteries or flashlight

  5. Received my 11.5 upper (fantastic build quality). Long story short the blue spring/H buffer will randomly not lock the bolt back on an empty mag. Switched to standard carbine and H2 buffet and it runs like a top!
