Years ago, the government did reliability testing of the VLTOR A5 as compared to other AR buffers. I don't recall whether it was NSWC Crane or USMC, but someone posted their report online around 2010. I remember getting a quick glance of it and saying, "I'll read this in more detail later." It turns out the report was not supposed to be released to the public, it was quickly pulled, and I never had a chance to read the entire thing.
Now that it's many years later, I'm wondering if that report (or one like it) was ever made public. Anyone have a link? Or anyone have a PDF they could send?
