After a ton of research I purchased and installed this on a Aero Lower paired with a 14.5 pin and weld BCM MK2 upper. Mid length gas system. I used the T2 Buffer weight... I did a before and after comparison also had a 16 inch carbine to compare back to back with. There is definitely a difference in recoil but i would not call it drastic... Maybe 10 percent better.... Follow up shots are quicker especially compared to the 16 inch carbine.. I ran 55 grain all the way up to 77 grain with no issues unsuppressed. I have not ran this combo suppressed yet. What I did notice is that the rifle runs smoother it just feels better and it translates into being able to run the rifle faster. Whether or not its a placebo effect does not matter to me. I for sure can run that rifle faster than any other 5.56 I own....So 5 stars for me.

Decided to utilize this in my build based on a recommendation and am I happy to know how reliable this has been for them during competition. I am looking forward to the same results.

I needed to replace a commercial tube and buffer with milspec parts. I decided on the MK2 system with a heavier (mod 1) buffer to handle the stiffer loads I use for midrange competition. The fit and finish of the tube and buffer are excellent and leave nothing to be desired. It functions perfectly, even cycling the lightest and heaviest of my ladder test loads effortlessly. Overall a great high quality choice. Much happier with my 20" RRA now.

I got the heaviest one for an 11.5" that is suppressed. Really help cut down on gas blow back, along with the SA has block. Also noticed rounds in mag are way cleaner now after a couple of shots.

This is a great buffer tube. It's slightly longer than a standard milspec. It still the same diameter as any other milspec buffer tube, so it still is compatible with stocks and braces. Since it's a bit longer, it absorbs more recoil making less recoil transfer to you. It really makes an already soft shooting 5.56 even softer.

Is very easy to install. My 1st day on the range with it.There was a absolutely shocking difference in felt recoil. This is a serious upgrade to your shooting experience. Highly recommended.

I had the standard mil spec BCM carbine buffer and tube on my Ruger 8529 for the last 3,000 rounds. I swapped to this MK2 recoil mitigation system T1 (4.7 ounces) this month, and I was very surprised at the difference. The recoil is so smooth and allows for very, fast follow-up shots. Im running a CMC Combat Curve, 1 stage 2.5 lb.trigger....and this thing rippss. I couldn't be happier with it. Recommend 10/10
Pros:
- Faster follow up shots
- Less recoil and muzzle rise

Installed nicely, looks good. Can’t wait to put a brace on it and try it out. Got the H2 buffer for 11.5” based off TREX sizing chart.
