Glad you enjoyed it my friend! PS, tried to call you back this morning. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Interesting. I see a couple of design influences from the LMT enhanced carrier. And some design concepts from the Vltor A5 system. It has a modified cam pin track and carrier rails like the LMT. And the reciprocating weight is similar to the A5 buffer's internal design. But I'm with Righter on...

I guess they are more common than I thought. I've honestly never seen them available, except for being on the Vltor site and out of stock. But then again, I don't own a pistol AR. So maybe I just wasn't paying attention. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Yeah, but have you ever seen one for sale? Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

While it may sound complicated, it's really not. But I'm not sure if they make a pistol tube. The benefits of the A5 buffer system cannot be understated. It is possibly the second, best improvement you can make for suppressed / unsuppressed reliability. The first / best step you can take is...

A point that needs clarification. @Leshaire is NOT using a rifle extension or rifle length stock. It is the Vltor A5 receiver extension and buffer system. The A5 RE is essentially an AR10 length receiver extension for use with collapsible stocks. It is approximately 3/4" longer than a standard...

Finally, I'm not a fan of clamp on gas blocks. They can shift. That's bad. A properly installed low profile block is easier to install and exponentially stronger / more reliable. By properly installed, I mean dimpled barrel + degreased threads + loctite 262. I think I wrote a tutorial about it...

Gas and carbon residue where the gas tube enters the upper receiver, is normal. Severity will depend on the ammunition and how large the gas port is. A small amount of gas leakage / blowby where the tube enters the gas block is also normal. It usually self seals with carbon after a few hundred...

Velocity Systems Scarab and Paraclete plates from Tyr Tactical, here. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

That should be the same trigger as what's included in their LPK.

That's what I figured. Thank you. The Dems throw stuff like this in the hopper every year. And thankfully, it goes no where.

Is this actually progressing through the legislature or will it die in committee like every other liberal gun measure that is proposed every year?

Yup.

Carbon wrapped? I wonder if that's just a fluke of harmonics?

Did TTI go out of business? The barrels in the video are really interesting, especially the gas block design. I wonder what the jacket does for rigidity? Seems like it wouldn't be as good as an actual bull barrel. But maybe it's a compromise, providing weight savings, normal accuracy for a...

Mosins? Really?

I'm very interested to see some accuracy reports on these.

Not really my thing. But Ted Danson might like it.

Agreed. I fully understand the difference and that's why I'm not a fan of billet. It's also why I'm curious about the weight of that thing. I imagine that it's not significantly lighter than a forged upper.

Downside is, the gasses would normally be blown out of the ejection port (mostly). With this thing, it's going everywhere. After a heavy day of suppressed shooting and the requisite application of lubricant, you'd probably look like an early 1900's blackface actor.
