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

    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.

    $150 off tarde me is a reasonable buy. If you don't want to mess around with customs. I have had a couple of jp's on my guns since new (nearly 10 years0 and they make a big difference. I don't care about the sproiing noise. After a while you won't even notice it!!!!!!!

    Clean it when the accuracy falls off
    Wipe the upper and bolt down with a oily rag in about 5 secs - job done
    Happy likes this.

    Thanks Mikee, haha yeah I have been told that the sproing lets you know that its doing what its meant to! just never heard it before I put the can on it so its sort of off putting. think the buffer is bottoming out quite hard which is the worse thing, gas block will get it though.

    Rub some chassis grease on the buffer spring if the sound bothers you

    DIY poormans adj gas block - braze up the barrel end of the gas tube and drill out in small increments at a time until you get your gas flow required.

    To put the AR load development post I was going to do into a simple paragraph..
    An AR is no different to a bolt gun in regards to load development - OTHER than having to make the gun run on waste gas
    1st you need a load. Remove the gas tube and turn the block 90 deg or slide it forward a bit to block it off.
    Do your load development, find the load the gun likes via normal methods.
    Once you have a load, THEN make the gun run around it
    DONT tweak a load so the gun gasses correctly
    Reassemble gas system and test - you will 95+% of the time have to work the gas backwards.
    You dont need much gas to make an AR cycle - IMO if you are under gassed - look elsewhere in the gun not at the ammo (providing its close to 'normal' loading)
    A Wildcat is against the norm - if it is something oddball the powder speeds may need to be looked at but anything remotely normal is generally a walk in the park

    Yes you can.

    Speaking of buffers - I totally ignored them in my above post as its my opinion that a standard buffer works fine in 99.9% of cases.
