[@toddk1377]

All my AR's run steel cased ammo. My R gun that used to have was the worst though. Constant jams and cases stuck in the chamber followed by my Ruger AR556. Since I've replaced the Ruger barrel and sold the R gun, I have AR's that all run steel cased ammo. They should since I've purchased thousands and thousands of rounds of steel cased ammo over the past few years. I still cry when I think back to the late winter of 2019 when I bought 3k rounds of Barnaul 62 sp from SGAMMO as an exclusive for $800 shipped. Can't even touch a thousand rounds for half that now unless it's Tulammo on sale and it's still $380-430 shipped, let alone 3k rounds. fuck Joe Biden, fuck the rona beer, fuck BLM, fuck the leftist, for rioting and trying to implement gun control leading to this ammo shortage.

[@ObservingLibertarian]

10:46 They cryogen treat the barrel to fully relieve internal stresses and they lap the barrel after chrome lining it. That removes the harmonic irregularities left by the hammer forging (which often reduces accuracy) and removes the surface irregularities which ordinarily reduce accuracy with chrome lined barrels. It's not magic, it's gunsmithing: it just happens to be the case that both processes are high investment methodologies (one in equipment, the other in time) which make them cost prohibitive. Which is one of the big reasons why KAC rifles cost as much as a kidney.

[@oddspaghetti4287]

12:40 This is an inherent fault with the AR-15, a longer bolt travel behind the magazine would eliminate this issue. If you look at a lot of other rifles, amongst them the AK, you will note that there is a lot of bolt travel behind the magazine where as the AR bottoms out almost immediately behind the magazine. This means that other guns can function with different power ammunition without bottoming out, ie. being over gassed, or short stroking, ie. being undergassed, while the AR can handle a more narrow power range.

@@seanwhite304 I know FN makes a lot of higher end companies' barrels because they have so mich capacity and machining capabities for CHF barrels.

I know DD supposedly makes their own HF barrels, which are quite accurate, and supposedly Geissele makes their own as well (although I have my reservations that DD may be making them). Bcm may have their own HF machines as well. Someone is also probably making LWRC nitrided HF barrels.

Colt aways used different vendors for parts and pretty much everthing in a Colt was milspec. Ironically many a Colt barrel was made by Green Mountain and they all shot fairly well. You don't need a HF barrel to shoot well. In fact, most match barrels are cut or button rifled. I happen to have an AR I built with a NOS USGI FN M16a2 barrel and it approaches .5moa w good handloads rested gently on sandbags.

In my opinion, the SR15 is the finest DI rifle made today. The gas block, not drilled and pinned, is held in by a mini receiver extension nut that is torqued down. The gas tube comes out of the barrel, not at 90 degrees, but at an angle to prevent gas tube erosion. The slightly longer than mid length gas system increases dwell time just a little. The straight gas tube, for decreased tube wear, is held in by threaded castle nuts that tightens down and prevent gas leakage. This overall makes for precise gas control, and in my opinion the smoothest shooting AR on the market. Lastly the E3 bolt design is an improvement from previous bolts with less chance of failure due to rounded lugs, smaller holes drilled to mitigate failure at a weak points, and a lobster tailed dual spring extractor. The AR15, which in my opinion is the best battle rifle in the world, has been taken to new levels of perfection by Knights Armament in the SR15.

The mk2 reciever on the BCM is a nice touch moving the forward assist up closer to the bolt making more room for the hands to manipulate the charging handle and of course have a ambi charging handle. Raptor radians are nice but I like the newest BCM 4x4. It's pretty low profile for an ambi.

I've always thought opening a gas port was poor practice. A lighter (or heavier) buffer/ spring, and bolt carrier Tuned to the gas system is better.

[@DVRKSHVYVN]

buffer/spring is a bandaid solution, but arguably a better solution than a permanent opened up gas port.

[@toddk1377]

Depends on the set up and other variables. If you want to run steel and brasses cased with better results or suppressed/unsuppressed, one will benefit more so with an adjustable gas block. I will only change the buffer weight if that AR I have does not have an adjustable gas block and it's over gassed to begin with. However, if your AR is over gassed, adding heavier buffers may seem to tame it, but your gun is still over gassed and will cause more wear on the BCG than a properly gassed AR. All this mainly pertains to a DI system. I don't have or can say with confidence how this may or.may not affect a piston driven system. This also pertains to any AR (5.56) that has a carbine gas system and/or shorter barrels. I have never seen an eighteen or twenty inch barrel with a rifle length gas system that was over gassed to need an adjustments or changes on it's own. Only time I ever see a guy run an adjustable gas block on one of these is if they run it suppressed and it's typically not a target or range gun or a fighting rifle, but more so for hunting. So take it for what it's worth.

@@Hustler_state I have a few set up like that. The heavier buffer does help tame it when it's over gassed, especially to make it flatter shooting for faster follow up shots. I think it's just when there's certain barrels with certain gas lengths, it's so over gassed that it needs to have an adjustable gas block or was intended to be used with an adjustable gas block. For set ups like you mentioned and like many of us have, I think it's just fine, any extra wear and tear is going to be rather minimal anyways. The worst is having to deal with a barrel when outfitted on a rifle/pistol is when they are under gassed and enough so it doesn't properly cycle. That's the only time I would ever say it's a good idea to get the gas port enlarged, but I'd recommend a gunsmith to do it so it's done right and not bored out too big and now you have a whole different host of problems.
