Carrier tilt in piston guns Fact of myth
Fact
Ok gents this is a confirmation that carrier tilt does in fact exist . This is my buffer tube with over 10k worth of rounds through it with a piston conversion (LWRC with the enhanced BCG) keep in mind I run my guns hard while preforming the required maintenance. There are solutions from companies like PWS that offer a long-stroke piston upper and a tube for existing uppers. This could cause a world of fail in the right instances. The wear was significant enough to “eject” the whole buffer retaining detent and spring. Rob-s jinxed my shit for realz.

Contributing to the discussion, thx
Not plugging our product, just want to participate and contribute to the discussion. We put 4,844 rounds (so far) through our piston operated Huldra Mark IV 5.45 carbine; Not a scratch on the receiver extension. It actually surprised me a little. With my DI guns there usually is a little cosmetic wear at that point. With our Adams Arms system, we haven’t seen any of the fabled carrier tilt that exist on other piston guns.

PS: We are shooting the 5.45 to keep expenses down. When rapid firing and doing drills for the sake of round count it is hard to waste good ammo. We figure it makes our testing more strenuous, using corrosive Russian mil surp ammo, if it can hold up to that, 5.56 isn’t a problem. Also, after 4,844 rounds I have upgraded respect for the 5.45 round. It’s the real deal, for not a lot of money. Our 5.45s are selling, especially the uppers.
