Agreed. I never understood the attractionShould have been the story in 08/09
These days I care more about reticle than price, and what I care about in a reticle Vortex will never make.Possible Covert Whinging found! Centering around price is probable!
ok guys, just giving you some good-natured shit. Not going for some slugfest. Stan, I know where you stand on price that that’s ok.
If we couldn’t joke around on this subforum, it would be…the rimfire section!
I am familiar with the winds effect on the elevation of the bullet.That is from the wind angle. It's pushing into the bullet level with the horizon while the bullet is going up hill, so with wind will hit higher than without wind. In level fire the wind is head-on fighting the bullet so with wind will hit lower, if you were to shoot down hill the head-wind component would push the bullet down (hit lower with wind), and when you shoot up hill, the head wind component pushes the bullet up relative to your line of sight (hit higher with wind).
If you repeat that same setup with a 270 or 90 wind angle, you will see the same relative shift as your flat fire.
ETA: I'm not saying 4DoF is correct. I'm not saying it's wrong. We're looking into it. But what you're talking about, the .3 mil difference, is from relative wind angle introducing a vertical component when you shoot up or down hill.
More SCARs will sell in the next 10 days than the last 10 years...
A wise individual once told me: "FN makes the best combat machine guns....they also make some other stuff. It seems the smaller you go, the shittier they get."
Curious that there's been more LICC content floating around just before this. Honestly this and/or the ICAR are the only mildly amusing "innovations" that set them apart in the rifle/carbine market would get me to consider going deep into a new platform. That said, I have ZERO delusions that FN gives a fuck about putting out a Civ LICC.
I am not usually one to jump on the AI bandwagon.....but she looks way too perfect to be real.
Me too. She said she likes my yodel.I'd yodel my ass off for that!

Wow. You do realize that my entire post dealt with adjusting the closed bolt lock time on an AR15, right? What do you think it is that you are doing when you add mass to the BCG/buffer or turn the gas down? You are increasing the closed bolt lock time. Your response leads me to believe that you think adding buffer mass or adjusting the gas is all about bolt velocity. Bolt velocity itself could easily be controlled with the spring and it sounds like you are conflating the two.I think you're making the assumption that an AR can't experience longer lock time or delay without malfunctioning. This is what these products promise. If we see ourselves as having open minds and welcoming efforts of companies trying to achieve this, I think we should at least predicate the discussion on this capability. If you're right, and it's not possible, then your right. But if you haven't tried and tested them and your just eliminating the concept through assumption then it's just an uninformed opinion. I don't say that to be overly aggressive or confrontational. It's just what it is.
I don't see the value in using this product as an alternative to just properly gassing a rifle. To your original point, why? Just build the rifle better and save money. I think it's value lies in extending the capability of longer lock time and reduced ejection port gas after conventional methods have done their best. To give additional performance that can't be gained by more simple and proper build methods. I guess an example of this would be the comparison of the MP5 vs a direct blowback PCC. No matter how you buffer a DBB PCC, it's not going to equate to a roller delayed mechanism.
I run riflespeed gas blocks on my rigs. Although each is a bit different when it comes to tuning, you can tailor the gas adjustment range by changing the plunger. On my longer distance and 300BO rigs, I use plunger sizes that allow me to completely turn the gas off. Its a nice feature to have on tap when target shooting or you want things as quiet and gas free as possible.I have two Griffin Gas Pocket BCG's (one "enhanced" with the shorter gas key for longer stroke, and one 'milspec').
They both, for me, 100% make a suppressed AR quieter. I don't think they changed my gas/overgas all that much, I'm currently running standard A2 buffers with Tubb FlatWire springs and with the suppressors attached, they're overgassed (or were, more below).
Both rifles, with cans, were overgassed. One is a KAC LPR Mod 2 (proprietary gas block/tube) with an OCM5 can, the other is a Bison Fulcrum (proprietary gas block, intermediate gas tube). The KAC LPR has the 'enhanced' GA GP BCG, the Fulcrum has the 'milspec' GA GP BCG.
Since the milspec GA GP BCG has the standard gas key, I replaced the key with a Rubber City Armory Adjustable Gas Key. The RCA AGK tamed the gas on the Fulcrum barrel by limiting the amount of gas that goes into the GA GP BCG and made a softer, more pleasant rifle to shoot. If I wanted to do the same to the KAC LPR Mod 2, I'd need to get a milspec GA GP BCG and swap the key on it. I don't think I will just yet.
I am running pretty spicy loads with 77gr SMK (also 73gr ELDM), AA2520 with NAS3 cases. I was getting odd fliers with the 73gr ELDM and gave up on them after a couple hundred rounds.
This delayed/gas/flier discussion at the beginning has me wondering, what if I shutoff the gas? Yeah, it'll turn it into a single shot but if the pressure/gas is causing the fliers, removing that might fix it? Or not. Maybe.
Just thinking out loud a bit. Something to try this weekend.
