Just checked out the AR CWS, where do you install it on the carrier? and is this the only place that sells this product? Also, once you install this can you remove it and add it to a different carrier?
This sounds like something that would great on my 204.
Anyone use the buffer pads? Or the mercury filled/hydraulic buffers?
The biggest complaint I have with my ARs is the spring sound. Don't know if there is a cure for that yet but I would be interested in that.
The CWS installs from the back of the carrier. It just slides in, with a flange resting against the back of the carrier to keep it from going too far forward. Then one of the two weights slides into that, again from the rear.
I've never seen any of Tubb's products anywhere but on his site. Doesn't mean there aren't others, but I've never run across them. I used to go thru Canadian TX. all the time, and now wished I had taken the time to look him up. I may still, as I don't live too terribly far from him. I'm just guessing here, but suspect him to be wealthy. I only say this, because he keeps such a low profile, even though he's well known in high power shooting circles. If he were to advertise on the "big AR" site, he probably couldn't keep product in stock. I can easily understand why he DOESN'T advertise there however.
Since this product is just a slide fit, you can easily switch between carriers, taking no longer than it takes to break the weapon down.
I've never used buffer pads, or anything but the stock buffer. It seems to me that these two products eliminate the need to "experiment" with different types of buffers, and buffer weights, thus eliminating the trial and error method, saving money in the long run, though that's just my supposition.
As I stated in an earlier post, it got rid of the "sproing" sound in my A2 stock. YMMV.
I think Hildago summed it up pretty well, in that it's more like shooting a bolt action than a gas gun. Just a rock solid feel. Can't think of a better way at the moment to describe it.
Hope this helps with your questions.
