Thanks, hopefully gas in the face wont be any worse than the back blast from the brake!! Im waiting on a custom made freefloat guard to suit the 14.5" should get it tomorrow il post some pics, length to suit the end of gas block and threaded onto barrel nut, not clamped on to the spikey nut like the crappy NEA handguards. I wanted a plain jane tube handguard and couldn't find f-all online in-country, those Hogue ones are all rifle length and apparently wont like being cutdown either. end of a long story I bought barrel nut on TM and got an alloy tube machined up with flutes etc. Hi temp hardcote or anodised black and Hopefully itl be mint!

Handguard like this?

[hanse]

Hi there, judging by your posts your somewhat of an AR man, thanks for the reply.
Sort of like that, I have milled the flutes right out though. And its 265mm or roughly 10" long. That's like a DPMS one ay?

[Spanners]

Yeah it's just a off the shelf DPMS one
I have some other DPMS that have the slots milled out somewhere
These would be cool with the slots milled and save a few oz also

[hanse]

What sort of price for a around ten inch one? Just out of interest really, If the one I have coming is crap then il need another. Im stuck with local market as haven't yet gone down the import track. You obviously do a bit?

[Spanners]

Only have rifle and carbine
Rifle is almost 13" long And carbine about 7.5"
You want a mid/spectre length

I have a 15" on my 3 gun rig. Just the brake pokes out

[hanse]

well hopefully the custom one does the trick, find out tomorrow. I left it with the machinists artistic flair to decide how extreme the slotting is so could be quite neat. Cheers spanners.

Post up some pics when done

I'm just in the process of documenting a bunch of uppers and weighing them out as reference. May as well while a bunch of different configs are here

Can anyone advise if the evolution stock will fit a AR15

[gimp]

Won't be able to work the charging handle, cheek piece is in the way, at least when it's that high. Otherwise it's just a matter of what length tube it is - selecting either carbine or rifle buffer/spring - and whether the internal dimensions allow a buffer/spring/BCG to work in it. And you'd need an endplate to retain your takedown pin detent/spring. It also weighs a hilarious amount.

Just a question , I gave my Wyndham a good clean after last outing. 1st couple of shots were a little high ( a had good shooting position and site picture ) then after fouling barrell dead on ,this time when I got home I just bore snaked it no cleaner, my question is how many shots do guys put thro till a major scrub out(clean or check action after most outings)

[Beavis]

I go after heaps, like hundreds of rounds

[Beavis]

I'm not really anal about holding pin point precision though, never noticed a diminish in practical accuracy

[Bernie]

Yeah I should have aimed at body instead of head but head shots are spectacular for an audience

[hanse]

Does anybody have an adjustable gas block that they would like to part with? Or is a JP one on TM for $150 all good? also thinking of getting one of those captured buffer springs to eliminate the noisy action sound on firing, thoughts, advice?? I have already been hosed on a recoil buffer, turned out it is a direct replacement for the one from factory!! reduces felt recoil yeah right!! as opposed to having a rock in there maybe. Im hoping that degassing it a bit shall cure all my probs though.
