    Cleaner Running Suppressor Options for Semi-Autos

    If I was given a choice to delay bolt opening, I'd tap into the barrel further away from the chamber over the pigtail strategy. Some guys swear by them...

    Cleaner Running Suppressor Options for Semi-Autos

    As Dino11 wrote above, lowering the energy in the reciprocating mass will allow you to restrict the gas block further... overall reducing total quantity of carbon in the system introduced through the gas tube. As you (HenryRifle) wrote above, increasing the mass of the system will delay bolt...

    Geissele Super42

    The 42 setup is a non-standard dimension. Performs as advertised. Heavier spring tension than I need in most applications. JP SCS is more versatile when I'm tuning systems. The 42 is on the wall. Waiting for the right build. JP SCSs have enough combination to get the tune I'm looking for...

    Azimuth technology Double Ejector BCG

    If all of your parts are mechanically sound... and... if I read the description of the problem correctly (failure to eject combined with early feed) I would attempt to resolve the issue by increasing BCG travel distance. (Most phone cameras will shoot with a slow-motion function that is...

    10.5 inch barrel/SLR ION lite hand guard Clarence

    You'll want a rail about .8" shorter than your barrel... presuming you want to have your muzzle device start at the end of the rial. SLR handguards give you a true rail measurement, that is the total length from end to end. Your muzzle device goes on the threads of the barrel. You can dry fit...

    Tipa for shooting gas gun better

    Start with your fundamentals. Follow Precision Underground's advice with regard to maximizing grounding. Surface to surface, minimizing intermediaries. As you build a position, be meticulous about avoiding inputting nonlinear forces into the system. Minimize loads to the barrel nut. (Be...

    6.5 creedmoor recommendations

    LRRPF52's list shows a chunk of considerations... Due to to the pressure curves of 6.5s vs 308s, they can be even more sensitive to part selection and tune. If you build for the sake of building, it can be super fun (and super expensive swapping parts as you learn from your mistakes). It is...

    I Know someone has tested this

    By turning off the gas you simplify the system and reduce the number of factors that the shooter has to manage. This might result in more consistent groups, depending on the build and tune of the particular gun. (If the gasser is set up for precision (longer gas systems, smart reciprocating...

    Binos with a reticle

    If you were to be particular, you might feel they're a little coarse. I run them off a bagged tripod, and they are easy to adjust to get measurement between the target and point of impact. I get more concrete information out of them over any other optic that I've used... But that might be...

    SCAR17 - Reducing Vibration and Recoil Impulse for Optics?

    My understanding is that the SCAR H was designed around the M80 round and a low back-pressure suppressor. The reciprocating mass is substantial... Adding energy to the system (running higher pressure loads, or a high backpressure suppressor, etc.) can exceed the forces the system was designed...

    AR15 - Cartridge pops out of mag upon insertion.

    What you're describing doesn't make sense to me... Based on the description of the malfunction, it sounds like a magazine issue (I'd be inspecting the feedlips, and verify that the top round is fully seated to the rear of the mag before insertion). I cannot imagine how the upper is inducing...

    Binos with a reticle

    I've been running that model (in the original post) of Steiners for a while. I find them to be extremely useful and haven't found a superior replacement for scanning and spotting, hiking or matches. Highly recommended. Very useful, very versatile optic.

    How are the proof 6.5 creedmoor ar10 barrels?

    I have experience with (2x) Proof 22" in 6.5 Creedmoor (in gassers). Both have demonstrated (unbelievably) high accuracy potential. The issue is not putting a Proof in an Aero set, but balancing the gas system. The 6.5C has very different pressure characteristics than 5.56 loads. I never...

    .243 AR Gas system

    BLUF: If you are looking for reliable extraction with higher pressure loads, I'd lean towards higher weight systems. -- I've had the chance to build a couple 6.5 Creedmoors with light-weight being a focus. Initially, I simply "scaled up" some lightweight AR-15 builds to AR-10 components. TI...

    Email from Q - ATF issues Cease & Desist for Honey Badger Pistol *UPDATE*

    To have laws overturned on a constitutional basis, they must be challenged in court. To challenge the constitutionality of a law in court, you must have standing. The ATF cease and desist order (now suspended) gave Q standing. Q might have been ornery enough to go all the way. If they (or...

    Email from Q - ATF issues Cease & Desist for Honey Badger Pistol *UPDATE*

    Good call for the ATF. 60 days to see what happens after the Election. 60 days to see if Barrett is confirmed to the Supreme Court. If Barrett is confirmed, she may well sit on cases that challenge the Constitutionality of the NFA37, GCA68, and the extra-judicial actions of the ATF. Someone...

    Email from Q - ATF issues Cease & Desist for Honey Badger Pistol *UPDATE*

    By definition, a firearm designed and intended to be shot with two hands is not-a-pistol. (As a thought experiment, can you imagine any modern (or archaic) pistol that is designed in a way that it cannot be shot one-handed?) Per GCA68, if you could figure out a way to make a...

    Email from Q - ATF issues Cease & Desist for Honey Badger Pistol *UPDATE*

    The Gun Control Act defines a pistol as a firearm that is intended to fire a bullet while held with one hand. For something to be a pistol (under the GCA68) it would need to meet that criteria. By extension, for an AR15 to classify as a pistol, it would need to be intended to be shot one...

    Email from Q - ATF issues Cease & Desist for Honey Badger Pistol *UPDATE*

    I offer an alternative interpretation of this particular cease and desist order… BLUF: The cease and desist order is not addressing SB Braces, but Q's design-intent for the use of the Honey Badger and Sugar Weasel. CAUTION: If you are an Originalist, you must overlook the phrase "shall not...
