I like action shooting competitions using an AR-15. I noticed at least half the competitors shoot each target two times with sub second split times. I find that when I shoot, I have to force the gun back on target or my second shot ends up out of the kill zone and sometimes off the paper. One of the top competitors let me shoot his gun and it stayed on target shot after shot. I was able to double tap with just a little effort. I would like to tune my AR so it stays on target from shot to shot.
I am going to install a SJC Titan muzzle break. I think it is regarded as one of the better breaks to keep your muzzle flip to a minimum. I am also considering changing my buffer and buffer spring. When I put my gun together I bought whatever buffer and spring combo was at the store. I suspect my buffer and spring are for a carbine and I am shooting a rifle length gas system.
Does anyone have suggestions on a good buffer and spring combination for a rifle length gas system? My gas port is not adjustable. I will be shooting 55 grain 223 bullets at an average velocity. I would like it tuned for 55 grain bullets but I will also be shooting 77 grain bullets that need to cycle OK. The barrel is an 18 inch 1 in 8 twist SS barrel. The upper is a Stag Arms 3g upper.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions,
Eric
