    Gas ports lands or grooves?

    Is there any difference in whether a port should be located in the land or groove of a barrels rifling? Furthermore, I've been advised that a port that has been located in a portion of rifling that bisects a land AND a groove has no effect on accuracy... True/False? I Google'd it up and there...

    Suppressors and Gas Guns! My 2cents

    My opinion: Suppressing gas guns is just not a good Idea. Why, Its kinda like building a 1200 HP car and putting a Muffler on it and a Parachute behind it. As the bullet exits the muzzle and into the can all the Gas, Carbon, Unburnt powder Etc now sneaks into the muzzle and back into the...

    Best way to clean a FN Fal gas tube?

    Hiders, The question pretty much asks it all. I love the FAL platform but still haven't mastered the cleaning of the gas tube. Do you use a bore snake, rod and patch (give jag and patch size here) or some other way to clean the gas tube?? I could ask this question at the Fal Files but...

    differerence between gas and piston AR uppers

    I'm building another upper but up until recently had never seen the piston style uppers. Can I build this style with a regular bare upper and lower, or are the parts specific to the piston type? And is there anywhere I can get schematics or detailed info on them?

    Anyone know if a Ciener kit or the Spike's Tactical version of this kit can be used in a gas piston .223 upper? I know the .22 is a pretty dirty round to fire. Does using one of these kits get the really nasty fouling coated into the gas tube of a direct inpingement AR? Does the Spike's...
