View Full Version : Overgas issues with suppressed 5.56 AKs?

I initially noticed a few bolt-over and FTE malfunctions after adding a suppressor to my SLR-106.

I installed a Wolff + recoil spring and have not had further issues in 150 rounds since. While I am satisfied that this will have eliminated bolt-over feeding issues, I am still concerned that the greater spring resistance may not be sufficient to slow initial bolt travel enough to completely prevent FTE issues.

Anyone else here have experience suppressing a 5.56 AK? Similar issues? Solutions?

Jay,

I read the linked post and I'd still be interested in any specifics, especially what measures were taken to improve function with the two malfunctioning AKs.

Gunsmith work? Drop-in parts? etc
