Buffer weight for 16" middy - Biodsl - 08-04-2021

I'm putting together an ARC using one of Rebby's 16" Liljas with a Mid length gas system and a non-adjustable Yankee Hill gas block. I don't know the gas port size. What weight buffer should I be using?

Your not going to know what it needs until you run it and see what it does. If it were me I would run a standard weight buffer and an adjustable gas block.

An adjustable gas block is pretty much standard for this round but not mandatory. All mine have an adjustable block or gas key, and they all function flawlessly and are soft shooters.

Trust me on this one. You need to run an AGB with an MLGS in 6 ARC. You'll otherwise face broken extractors, ejector marks on your brass and (assuming your going light weight) excess slam on return to battery.

Alright, good enough for me. Back to the workbench!
