Dberm118 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I have a JD machine tech Veld upper. it has a low pro .750 gas block mid length system. If I wanted to go to a rifle length buffer system to ditch my magpul stock/carbine buffer and get the ACE skeleton would I need to reconsider my gas system and jump to a rifle length system with 18" barrel? Or does the buffer system/length irrelevant of the gas system when making a change like this? I built the lower and purchased the complete upper through JD. I absolutely love the gun but the more I'm getting serious about 3 gun I'm also learning exactly what I'm looking for in my rifle. the precision and shooting out of it is awesome I'm more than happy with the gun just looking to get it set up the way I want now that I know which direction I'm headed. Thanks for your guys expertise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxerglocker Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 You could go with a rifle buffer with a mid-length gas system. Personally, my experience has been that it doesn't get you any real noticeable improvement. I would get a LW BCG, adjustable gas block and reduced buffer weight/spring first.

Dberm118 Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 Boxer, Thanks! My reason in asking this is that I simply want to get rid of my adjustable stock and go to the fixed ACE skeleton. So I was wondering if I would be able to do that without any side effects. Wasn't looking for noticeable differences as I'm completely happy with it right now. though I will probably end up changing a lot more in the future.

12Bravo Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) ACE will work nicely with that setup, I have had a few just like it. Edited September 14, 2016 by 12Bravo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bravo Thanks for the reply!! you ran this set up with a mid length system did you notice any difference between the rifle length buffer with skeleton vs carbine and magpul? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12Bravo Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I didn't notice a performance difference, I just like the feel of the solid stock vs a carbine stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglou13 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 +1 . For mid length gas with ace rifle length. With adj gas key LW bolt carrier, Tac com buffer system rifle length, reduced buffer spring. Schuller brake ace rifle length stock i like the rifle length system over than carbine length system.... I have a tuned carbine length buffer system with heavier barreL.... They almost shoot identically in regards to perceived recoil .... With the winner going to the lighter weight rifle length buffe/stock build... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dberm118 Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 Biglou I do not have an adjustable gas system. would this be any issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglou13 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I ran mid length gas with rifle legnth stock/ buffer system ( standard weight sling snd buffer as it came with stock) /for about 100 rounds easy shooting before the rest of the parts showed up..... I don't see why not. But I'm. Not an AR/m forgery guru. It functioned fine no failures or any issues that I was aware of. I didn't put much thought into it knowing I was going to tune system further.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonytheTiger Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Are you asking if there's any correlation between gas system length and buffer system length? If so, no, the two different systems operate just fine together no matter the length of one or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dberm118 Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 Tony, Perfect!!! that essentially was my question. if I went to a rifle length buffer system would I need to change my gas system. Thanks a ton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
