It seems to be working fine as is, which is good because I can always use this combination of parts. I cannibalized the parts for this build from another rifle to see how everything worked before I bought yet another BCG or silent captured spring....

So, initially, yes.. brass position moved from around 2 o'clock with the lightest combo I have (3oz buffer and the JP XS spring). When I went to the standard spring and heaviest buffer, brass moved to 4 o'clock. The brass kicks out 4_5 feet away at all of those settings, less for gas settings...

That's good to know, I will look at that with my next order. Also, fwiw, brass kicks out at 2 o'clock with the suppressor attached and no other changes. Seems like that is normal, or in line with what others have reported.

I have a US Optics SN 1-4. I hadn't heard they were hard on optics, but no issues.

The AGB is a JP A2 model. The brass is hitting the feed ramp while the back end is still held down by the feed lips of the mag. I loaded a second one yesterday and noticed anything over 20 rounds or so will usually not feed the first round, especially not if the bolt release is used to charge...

They were all slinging out 4-5 feet at the settings that allowed lockback...I didn't measure it, just normal. I dialed the gas back with the suppressor initially and one hung up, the next barely dropped out. I don't think I can, at least with the JP spring. 3x Tungsten weights maxes it out. I...

Lol, I think the best option is my other rifle...16" mid with a standard gas block and 3.7oz buffer. It's noticeably smoother than the short configuration. The tradeoff for short vs smooth shooting was the biggest thing I learned today, at least in my setups. I could shoot each weight again and...

As far as the FTF, it's the magazine... I called PRI, they are taking care of it. It's a small difference, but see how the round tip sits lower in the left magazine? That's the problem. It should be angled slightly up like the one on the right. On the plus side, I have more confidence in my...

Did some testing today with different buffer weights and two different springs in the JP silent captured spring. More to follow, but here's what I got. I only tested to see if I could get the bolt to lock back and note brass ejection for different buffer and spring weights. I want to get the...

Appreciate all the responses. Lots to think about and test when I get home. Fortunately I have several buffers, plus the adjustable JP captured spring, and a standard captured spring...and I think I should make sure that adj gas block is on right. I knew this might be tossing a crap grenade, but...

Thanks, setting up a gas system in a new rifle is always a challenge for me. I'll try a lighter buffer also. I do have one of the jp captured springs with the adjustable weight system. I was hoping to avoid using it unless nothing else works.

Lol thanks...a garbage can is a good descriptor of how I felt about it the other evening. 25 or so hogs mixed in with the cows, brand new rifle, first real world test.... boom click. So on top of figuring this issue out I have to practice ftf drills, because I sucked. The damn women giving me...

I should have included it's a suppressed 10.5" barrel. JP adjustable gas and a heavy buffer (I don't remember exactly, h2 if I had to guess). I have to experiment more with those components, I feel the same way. Although it functions, the gas is wide open to get the bolt to lock. Brass kicks out...

Can anyone offer suggestions on ftf for an AR in 6.8 based on a picture? JP rcvr set, spring and carrier, ARP barrel and bolt, headspace checks, brand new PRI 25rnd mag. Happened same way with this SB ball and 120g sst reloads. Only about 150rnds total in the rifle, didn't happen with my other...

Re: Want ballistics app for iphone +1 for bulletflight, although I haven't tried the others - it's expensive, but I feel like it's still worth more than I paid. Maybe I'm easily impressed...I like how it downloads the weather and adjusts ballistics for any saved loads.

Re: Jet Suppressors From what I understand, the thread-on version weighs 14oz., which I got in one of the magazine articles on their site. My "Warthog" version weighs 24oz with the adapter screwed into it on my dealer's UPS scale. I do not know what they weigh individually, but I'd say the...

Re: Jet Suppressors Update: Well, Mike's called my dealer back about the Form 3 today - they got that all straightened out. Also, the can is the correct weight for the muzzle break adapter model. The adapter was screwed into the can, and my dealer didn't know it until after he talked to...

Re: Jet Suppressors Here is my experience with Jet. I ordered a .233 suppressor about 18 months ago. I was told there was a 3 week waiting period before it would be shipped to my dealer. I went through all the failed contact attempts. Finally asked for my money back in a certified letter...
