    AR Tuning question

    Update: Couldn’t take it. Pulled buffer weight. It’s an h1. I disassembled and took out one weight and put in a wooden dowel. First 1 round mag I got lock back, which I previously only got on the jp scs from one of my other rifles. I went bleed through mode about 3 clicks less gas, no more...

    AR Tuning question

    Right on. I did have a lock back prob after a couple thousand rounds on an spr with bartlein barrel with the same SA gas block system. I swapped the SOLGW bcg for another and and it’s run fine ever since. I assume the gas key was leaking just enough to screw up the gas. That bolt has worked in...

    AR Tuning question

    I guess I should check the rings, but I changed the bolt out to a new bcm with the new barrel. There’s less than 2000 rounds on this barrel and bolt. Per magazines, I’ve used about 10 of my training pmags in the class and a couple GI and the same pmags last weekend tuning. They lock back on...

    AR Tuning question

    10-4. Thanks everyone. I can’t remember for sure but I had the gas turned down from say 18 clicks on the SA arms block (full open) to around 25 (bleed off) or so for the class. (Xray alpha/Stoeger) Stock bcm buffer components. It ran like a Swiss watch. It was ejecting between 3 and 4. This...

    AR Tuning question

    Yes, I went through the entire gas block adjustments 2 clicks at a time with 1 round magazines. Finally with the stock spring on jp scs and weights, I got lock back. With pretty much full gas. I turned gas 2 clicks either way and no more lock back. Yes. Little recoil. Dot will hold the upper...

    AR Tuning question

    I haven’t weighed the buffer it’s self but it’s whatever comes in a stock bcm lower.

    AR Tuning question

    Yes, I did that Saturday when I was trying to tune this thing. The bcm device runs fine but the sjc has the “no lock back on last round.” I did all barrel work with the Geisselle action rod and snap on wrenches. The rifle runs like a sewing machine with or without Brake but no lock back on...

    AR Tuning question

    Thanks guys. I had a buddy verify gas port alignment with a scope. It’s dead nuts. Might mess with the weights on an SCS before pulling the gas block/rifle apart. I’ll report back soon.

    AR Tuning question

    I have a BCM 14.5 rifle with stock bcm buffer system. I shot out the stock barrel, rebarreled with Gieselle 14.5 chf. Superlative adjustable gas. Stock bolt. I ran it in a class for 1500 rounds. No problems. I put on an sjc titan brake. The rifle runs but will not lock back on the last round...

    AR Positional POI Shift Test

    Scott, how are you running your gas guns when on the bipod? Forward loaded, completely neutral, rearward pressure into shoulder, or other??

    14-15” Arca rail Recommemdations

    Thanks for the ideas. I ended up figuring out the barrett Area 419 rail will work on an Mlok rail and went that route even though it was way more $$

    Is it possible to become a really skilled long range shooter with a semi-auto?

    Ironically I can group my 308 gasser better, consistently, than my 6.5 bolt gum. FWIW.

    14-15” Arca rail Recommemdations

    I’m currently running the 14” area 419 Arca rail with the barricade stop on my SPR. The rail is a 16.75” Sons M89 Mlok rail. I cannot find any rails longer than 12” without the barricade stop the Area 419 has, close to the mag well. Is there any thing out there without the stop?

    Feeding issues solus with KRG bravo

    2 hours shop time and they got it running like a clock. Was told they had to modify and weld the mag latch and machine something on the action. Will be shooting it after I get it back in a few days.

    Feeding issues solus with KRG bravo

    Sent this whole rig out to Short Action Customs, (after messing with mag tuning for a couple hours… )who did the barrel and action work, to get this all straightened out. Will report back

    Feeding issues solus with KRG bravo

    Will order a tuning tool and try that next but according to my mic, they are set at masterpiece arms spec. All of these mags ran flawlessly with the same action in a manners t4 with badge metal

    Feeding issues solus with KRG bravo

    After another range day after I thought I fixed my feeding issue, after about 6-8 rounds, they came back. Every 2-3 rounds, nose diving. Noted excessive front to back wobble in mags. Used pmags, aics and mdt. Pulled everything apart for about the 10th time. Pushed trigger guard forward almost...

    That’s my feeling at present. I have the adjustable mag catch on order, I’ll see what happens.

    Feeding issues solus with KRG bravo

    Thanks man! As much as I hate the idea of all this tuning on something that should just work, I’ll be ordering the mag catch ASAP

    Feeding issues solus with KRG bravo

    Did you credit the mag latch as the solution? I’ve had feeding problems for months on my Whiskey 3 enclosed fore end. I’ve readjusted the trigger guard and fore end about half a dozen times and tried pmag, mdt, accuracy and factory aics mags and all still fail to feed. The last adjustment...
