    BCM 11.5 gas issue?

Fill out the form and they will tell you what size you need. His gas tube last for at least 5k rounds. Second, as stated above, a...

    Opening-Up Gas Port

    If you ping SOLGW they will tell you what size gas port you should have for a given barrel length. You can also get a good idea by specking out a gas tube on black river tacticals site. It will tell you what size it should be based on what you want to do.

    22 lr (AR22) vs 300 blackout for most quiet

    Just my experience, 22lr with a SiCo sparrow with CCI standard velocity in a single shot rifle will be a little bit quieter than 300 blk with a sig 762TIQd (one of the quietest 300 blackout cans) in a single shot 300 blk but not by much. It has more to do with compression vs sound. CCI quiet...

    SCAR 17 low enough back pressure in subcaliber with can?

    Answer to your question is no. There is not enough difference in bullet diameter. Its not like shooting a 556 through a 762 can and even then cans with lot of back pressure will still have back pressure. I agree with everything @mewillis is saying. My scar 17 was fine with a high back...

    LWRC REPR 16" (best ammo results)

    You will probably get your best groups out of Federal 168 & 175 gr Gold Medal Match.

    Ballistic Advantage barrels

    Right?! How many people actually throw a scope on their rifle to see what their rifle can actually shoot? How many of those people can actually shoot well enough and shoot enough rounds to give you an honest assessment? Answer - not many.

    Which lowers should I SBR?

    I think there is more of a probability that it would go down the opposite. NFA would be last to go.

    Which lowers should I SBR?

    Whichever are perfectly in spec which is probably the LMT.

    Mk262 clones ? Razor core ? Super performance 75s?

    I have found that PMC X-TAC Match 77g Sierra OTM is a fantastic substitute for Mk262.

    .300 Blackout 1:5 vs 1:7 for barrels < 8.3"

    It all depends how you set it up. So you could set it up that it's perfect with supers or you could set it up so it's perfect with subs. I essentially have mine set up so it's the least amount of gas that I can get away with subs (lock back) and then supers just always work. I think 7.5” is a...

    .300 Blackout 1:5 vs 1:7 for barrels < 8.3"

    In regards to Faxon, I have had a number of their barrels and I was never impressed. I know there will be people that love their barrels but they have never worked out for me. I think you are good to go with 1:5, I will just probably go with 1:6 with a 9" barrel because its longer. If you...

    .300 Blackout 1:5 vs 1:7 for barrels < 8.3"

    1:5 is fine for barrels under 8 inches. A 9" barrel I would probably do a 1:6. In 2017 we had a local police agency that was looking for a very short (AAC honey badger like) SBR that would take a full BCG, had adjustable gas, MOA or better, and a carbine handguard (their were some other things...

    M855A1 Accuracy and Velocity

    I get that but I think you are talking about (may be wrong) their gun handling in somewhat close combat say within 100 yards. Which I would not disagree that they are clueless. That being said, it's not very difficult for a few guys to block roads with cars or trees and sit out 6-700 yards away...

    M855A1 Accuracy and Velocity

    I take it your not in the mountains much. As someone that is pretty good with an AR and taken numerous classes I am very worried of the guys with deer rifles that could set up an ambush and block off whole sections of land that you need to get around.

    M855A1 Accuracy and Velocity

    I have a 12.5 Hodge that generally runs fast and is typically sub moa (5 shot groups with 77 OTM Match). Just seemed odd to me that a 14.5 would be less accurate around a round Hodge said the barrels were built for.

    M855A1 Accuracy and Velocity

    As always thank you for your time in putting all this together. I was surprised by the accuracy or lack thereof of the Hodge.
