What kind of buffer setup will your new one have? I run a 7.5oz solid buffer and extra power carbine spring, and its soft and smooth from 115gr to 147. It is however, the only PCC I have shot, so I don't have a lot to go on.

The CMMG has a proprietary radial delayed blowback system. I believe it uses just a plain old carbine buffer and spring with its bolt and carrier. Similar reciprocating mass as a regular AR. So less felt recoil from the action cycling.

Congrats on your first +1K purchase. Kind of a tough line to cross the first time. My first was a Ruger piston AR - very nice gun, heavy, but shot very well. I've since sold it. ATM, I think the only +1K in the safe is the M1A. Hoping to fill the Garand hole again, but not in a position to do that right now. You can get some fine under 1K guns, and for budgets, that seems a good way to go. I hate to pay more for anything than necessary, but some things are worth it.

Got her in today thanks to @LuckySG letting me transfer it literally moments after it arrived!

I've never purchased a factory built AR15 platform before. I can honestly say I now know that a $1000 plus factory built AR15 equals quality. The fit and finish is outstanding.

Looking forward to putting some rounds through it.
