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.

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.

All this BCG, that we are talking about here, aside from the other attributes, does is effectively make the system think you're running a buffer one or two steps heavier and/or reduced gas. Either extends closed bolt lock time to allow the bolt to unlock when pressure has subsided, consequently slowing bolt velocity.

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.

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.

On my goto rig, I have it setup so that setting 1 is my base for good cycling when suppressed on a clean rifle.

Anyway, what you're talking about doing isn't in the least bit unusual.

Piece of shit who turned against MAGA and spent his life screwing America for the MIC.. .

Looks like the Indictments aren't just for commie pieces of shit.

Looks like the DoJ is getting on with the business of AMERCIA... not parties.

Bolton is about to have a tough time on his hands. But the precedent also means that the potato is just as liable for charges.

You know they invaded Greece and Yugoslavia before they started fighting the Soviets.

Reading what you originally wrote, the 1st remark, in the context of the conflict seemed to be ignoring the order in which Germany invade countries. France was 5th, Soviets were the 8th.

Italy had more troops in Africa and was the main part of the Axis force, not the Germans.

Take care, have yourself a nice day.

They use this for maple syrup up here... getting to 90 percent sugar content before final boil.

No idea how it works for water.

The Germans had no intention of invading Greece or getting there through Yugo...

But the bloviating idiot Mussolini (watch me swing from my toes, Hitler!) tried to invade Greece and fucked it up so Bad that the Germans had to clean up the mess. Sort of like they fucked up Ethiopia. And Libya. And became a millstone around the Austrian Painter's neck for the whole war. Sort of the Fiat of invading armies.

This Italian adventure diverted quite a few German divisions from the planned USSR invasion... and delayed Barbarossa significantly. This delay cost the Germans Moscow. Not the war. But Moscow.

Loss of Moscow would not likely have caused USSR to "Surrender" as they would have still moved everything East into the Urals. including the Politburo. Which they did anyway... all the factories and economy. So nothing would have really changed, except Moscow would have been destroyed. But the Wehrmacht would have taken Moscow almost certainly if they had another month of weather. Which would have had a psychological impact on the war... If not an ultimate outcome change.

Read Richard Overy... Why the Allies Won. From the '70s. An economists analysis of WW2. And he showed beyond reasonable doubt that the Krauts, Wops and Nips were finished before it started. It all came down to economics. And the Axis were too stupid to do the math. You know... racial supremacy and all that. Including the Dagos... who thought they were Roman Legions or something. When, really, they had spent 1800 years drinking water out of lead pipes and fought accordingly.

The Best of Italy migrated to New York in the early 1900's... Just 'sayin!

Anyone know how to contact Calypso for warranty support? Last time out, I checked the barometric pressure on my phone, leica geovid and the change weather station. They were all pretty close but the Calypso AB was off. I went back and checked the reading I recorded at different dates. It turns out that it was almost the same each time even though the weather wasn't. I sent emails via the website but I am not getting any responses.

I have seen it previously, in my opinion She did nothing wrong. The UK has become a bunch of liberal lefties, however, there is a backlash, and the tide is turning (finally) , it's not just right wing but middle England is turning. If you search on-line you will bee a huge wave of people flying England and United Kingdom flags. I have my England flag in my office, it isn't like the USA here, people don't fly flags outside their homes.

You missed.
She handled the business at hand. She didn't wait for the police to rescue her.
Your original statement was "if this lefty scum is in danger who would he call?"

You mean like the multiple countries including Mexico that took all the help and development then nationalized everything and tossed us out?

Imagine paying for a wild hog hunt, where the land land owner then sells the carcasses for an additional profit.

I’ve been saying it for years. For many land owners (pretty much every one selling hog hunts), wild hogs are a windfall, not the pest they are made out to be.

Wild boar and other game can be sold in Germany to any butcher. One of my university buddies inherited the hunting lease when his father passed away and we were able to turn a profit primarily with boar. The land was close to the Baumholder maneuver base and there was a constant supply of boar. The downside of the German hunting law is that the lessee is responsible for crop damage to the owner of the land so we spend a lot of time hunting in the spring (post-seeding) and fall (pre-harvest). We would have driven hunts in the winter when the snow gave away where the boar were hiding during the day. This was one of the social highlights for the rural communities with a huge bonfire, food and local moonshine after the hunt.

I’ve shot both a lot, I’ll take the trg everyday of the week, they can keep the ai rifles. Trg is a smoother action, shoots tighter and weighs a lot less plus the trigger is the best. The whole ai rifle makes no sense in a short action caliber. 338 or similar maybe a better argument. Just too much mass for a 308 or 6.5. Trg may need arca or what ever you want on the front end if you please. Factory bipod on the trg is the best I’ve used. To each their own. It’s crime how much they want to a folding stock and mags for the rifle tho I will say that.

I've seen people modify the Tikka CTR magazines, which I think is what I would do the Sako magazine are insanely priced.

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.

From what I gather, many PRS shooters from Western Europe go to Czech or Scandinavian ranges to practice. In Germany, for example, there are no civilian ranges that go beyond 300m and only a couple of military ranges that a person can hope to get access to that will go 800-1000m.

The laws in Europe blow my mind. LOL You have powder being produced in Sweden and Finland that has no legal outlet in Norway...

ETA: Just a point of observation... every one of the non-US shooters I've bumped into has been top class people. Always a pleasure to squad with.

I meet quite a few Swedes at the IPRF 22lr champs and they were all very cool.
Sweden and Norway seem like they would be cool places to go and shoot, the more field style matches would be cool to do.

Reviving. Will a 737 barrel work on a standard 700 action? At this juncture as well. I have a spare 700 action and spare impact barrel.

Well as seen on recent World IPRF rimfire and European rimfire PRS ,Europe powerhouses in Rimfire PRS are Czech Republic and Poland and anyone watching results in this years IPRF in UK , US only took individual gold in Women and Senior category , individual open and factory went Australia and UK , there were maybe 2 americans in top 10 , a massive change from 2years ago when there was also a huge equipment gap .
In European Championship top 20 were practicaly all Czech and Poles , with one or two other nationalities in between.

Skandinavia is better represented in centerfire , but still Eastern europe is where its at , lots to do with gun lagislation and range availability.
Scandinavians can set up a competition at any remote farm ,but getting there is another thing making competing there more expensive
Germany,Austria ,Netherlands are extremely limited in Regards to ranges . They all need to travel abroad to compete . Germans,Austrians,Dutch domesticaly shot in fucking 100-200m indoor ranges ,many shoot whole season abroad ,so you have German and Austrian national competition hosted in Czech republic.

Eastern europe has lots of former cold war shooting ranges some now private and military is very open to letting civilians play. Which is like no go in Western europe.

UK ,Australia,NZ have great shooters but given location and legislation , they are somewhat isolated have to travel far =$$$ for international comps.

I spoke to some shooters from the Netherlands and the guys from Anschutz, sounds like that part of the world is seriously difficult for this style of shooting. The Czech Republic sounds like the place to be, as that's where Anschutz seem to be testing their PRS rifle models.

More Than An Accident? Kyle Bass Sounds Alarm On U.S. Military Explosives Supply Chain After Tennessee Plant Blast | ZeroHedge

ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero

www.zerohedge.com

"The Accurate Energetics Systems explosion in Tennessee demands urgent, independent scrutiny. With China moving aggressively toward Taiwan and historical precedents of sabotaging munitions facilities, we cannot dismiss the possibility this was more than an accident," Bass wrote on X.

He continued, "AES provides over 60% of the Department of War's high-explosives systems, losing it for years is a strategic shock. Every indicator and warning in the system is flashing red."

He meant across 60% of the platforms. Corrected himself.

In Hornady's advertising it states consumers were tired of finding a great bullet from some companies only to be unavailable.

Unironically, Venezuela is the ONE country in the WORLD that the USA should annex. It has, by far, the world’s largest proven oil reserves.

If they won’t exploit it for their own benefit, then we sure as hell should!

It all adds up to the same weight, doesn't matter where you carry it.

Doesn't work that way. Otherwise carrying shit in your hands would be nearly as comfortable as in a good pack frame that puts that load on your hips but it doesn't even work out close to being that way. And being part of your body basically balanced on your center of gravity is notably better than in a well designed pack.
