    6MM ARC Help !!

    ...didn't see a final answer from the OP on if he resolved his issue or not. A couple thoughts to throw out to those planning a build: 1. If one starts with an adjustable gas block (AGB), use a standard buffer system to start. The AGB's function is to moderate the gas flow to control any...

    Powder charge for 300-BLK

    ...why not just use the Lil`Gun for your supersonic loads? LilGun is one of the powders that give the most velocity for given bullet weights and complete burns in short tubes. Considering the limited (practical) distance of the 300BLK cartridge, I prefer the flat-based bullets, less chance...

    Solid trigger for all round use

    ....FWIW, the Geissele G2S fits your stated purpose and the manufacturer claims it's essentially a SSA performance wise just lower cost. As you have experience with the SSA's, the transition for you would be relatively seamless. My personal preference in my AR builds. After my 1st usage I...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    FWIW, when testing my 6ARC gasser I ran it sans brake and then with the VG6 6.5 GAMMA brake and there was a significant difference. Sans the brake it jumped around alot on the bench. With the brake, the spotter dot on target remained in the view during the recoil and settled back on POI at end...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    FWIW, I'd suggest you query Craddock on what buffer/spring combination he would recommend to use with his product. I'm sure he has sufficient data feedback to provide some solid recommendations. Keep in mind, he knows the port size so he knows what would work the best, suppressed and...

    Brownells over restricting

    ....can't blame Brownell's for following the new/recent laws that have been passed that affect their ability to remain in business. If you feel the need to blame, then blame the politicians that supported passage then go further back and blame the voters that elected those politicians, but the...

    6 Arc barrels

    Caveats: Powder= LVR, brass= virgin Starline 6.5 Grendel converted, primer=CCI 400, CBTO/COAL= 1.655/2.167, barrel= 18" Ballistic Advantage, RLGS. This was pressure testing ONLY. The highest load shown is under Hornady's published MAX. No pressure signs or behavior was noted. These were...

    BCG hitting back of receiver and buffer tube

    ...it's the BCG that is the problem. rpoL98's post above shows the cause, the sharp 90* edges of that rea portion portion of the BCG that the gas key is mounted to, which is also shown in the OP's 3rd post with the BCG at the entrance point to the RE & buffer tube. ...not knowing how many...

    Low Profile Adjustable Gas Block Options?

    ...my personal preference is SLR, been using them since the first versions came out. Use them on 300BLK(10.1" / 16"), .223/556 (16"), 6ARC (18") & .308/762 (16"). Depending on the barrel length and gas system type, you can match the handguard length to the gas system so the adjustment screw...
