Does one need to or is it recommended to upgrade buffer and/or spring when using this BCG?

Works well with my standard buffer and spring. For the record, the weight is same as in coated. Lightweight BCG may require adjustable gas block. Lighter faster buffer and spring can get faster cycle rate

Check the weight of your carrier then the length if there's a large difference then yes, either lighter or heavier buffer would be in the works other wise no.

I didn't change anything else and it ran great. But i believe if you put a heavier spring it would be better. Hope this helped.

No. Works fine with the standard buffer and spring. Simply swap out and you are ready to go

Maybe I'm not correct, but it seems that you are comparing this buffer to a complete meguiar's polishing kit, which has polish and buffing compounds, pads, and cloths included. This item is the buffer only. I have been satisfied with mine. I think it is a good buffer for the price paid. I have two other buffers and I prefer this one. It is light-weight, easy to use. You do need an extension cord to plug it in; it only has a one-foot cord,as do most buffers.

If you install this kit with the included springs I believe your pull will be about five pounds, and much smoother. I think you'll really appreciate the difference this kit makes. If you want to swap in a new set of sights this would be the time to do that too.

Is it worth $75? Quality-wise, I would say "yes". Is it absolutely necessary? I would say "no". I did put one on a Colt build as a "happy-to-glad" upgrade, but only after I upgraded the flash-hider, added an EOTech XPS3 and GripPod, and snagged some extra PMags. If you no other real upgrades you want to do, and you have the disposable coin, you definitely won't regret buying this part. Looks pretty cool, to boot, and functions very well, also.

The firba buffers are ok. The only thing wrong with this -is you use 20 buffers to one ROCK and you can not buy the bufferwheels without the Rock.Buy this at harbor freight for 10-15 dollars cheaper.Dr.Kel

There probably isn't a need for the firmware upgrade - I couldn't find an explanations of what the update includes. The table works without it. So if yours is working and you don't notice anything unusual - than don't update. :)

I just bought this a couple of months ago. I had the same question and went through a lot of grief before finding the answer. You don't need a longer spring; you just install the extension tube and use the original spring that came with the M4. It works perfectly and the extension's finish matches the finish on the gun perfectly. I don't have a single regret about spending the extra money. Have fun.

Do not know. Its really not important, unless u are attempting to use the buffer in a different type of fire arm. But for sure, if you own one of the modles listed above. It will fit....

No, I recommend getting a brass 1/8th NPT -> 3/16th barb connector and Lezyne ABS Floor Pump Hose (available on amazon). It's 100 timer nicer than what's included and handles presta AND shrader.

I purchased this last year, but didn't install it as planned....so I don't have any helpful input. Hoping to install in spring

I would recommend that you look elsewhere. The quality of this product is more geared towards less than 1000 fps. BB's would improve life. This is better used for a BB pistol.

I would confirm with a local gun Smith, but after checking different sites it looks like MA requires a ten pound trigger pull if the gun doesn't have an external safety. All Shields have one that I know of. That is the only MA compliance related issue I could see, so it should be just fine to install. Again I would talk to a local gunsmith, just to be sure. Unless you are really experienced with gun mechanics you should have a gunsmith install it anyhow. The back sight needs to come off to replace a spring under the sight. It's a bitch to move. Most models need a press to move the sights, copper punch won't work. I had a gunsmith ruin a couple on mine. Since the back sight must be removed it's a good time to replace to tritium sights, if you are thinking about XS BIG DOT sights email me to talk you out if it at darchie@gmail http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3633523

I believe you need to be running at least ML 10.8.2. Your MP might be too old to update.

No. The upgrade actually caused more problems than it solved. With this upgrade you need to also upgrade the trigger box. In the end, you've spent more on upgrades than the rifle was worth to start with. My advice: Send the BBTac back and upgrade to a better rifle to start with.

Hello, the answers to your questions (in same order) are "yes" and "no", you don't need a extra buffered pedal because all boss units (stompboxes or multi-fx) has buffered bypass. On this post ( http://www.bossus.com/boss_users_group/article.php?ArticleId=1633 ) they say "All Boss pedals are buffered" and this apply not only to stompboxes. And remember this, buffered bypass on the ME-70 is active when you don't set on any of fx or pre-amp module, or when you press the pedals N° 2 & 3 (tunner/bypass). I have one ME-70 and I am talking on my personal experience with this exceptional and flexible unit.hope that information will be usefull for you.

I would stick to B. ITS your choice what pattern to do. But that has to be consistent throughout your installation.

It takes some modification and tweaking. I had to use some alligator clips and test leads then I pulled the spring a little. Do a search of the web to see what mods or hacks others have done.
