Now Shipping! Magpul™ Enhanced Receiver Extensions

Would you be as satisfied with a combination that operates in a narrower span of operation compared to a wider span of operation?
Would you be as satisfied with a combination with a reduction in durability than a system with increased durability?
Nothing personal, just questions.

Tom, you didn't know? IT'S THE NEW THING!

Having too much reliability, shootability, and breadth of operation is a complete waste and should be avoided. Plus, one will save $20-ish in the process.

You need to get hip to the square, dude.

I'm taking the A5 plunge and going to see if it smooths out my 11.5 BCM (suppressed and unsuppressed).

Right now it has a Blue Springco and H3, runs both ways with Prvi M193 and Federal SOST, but if the A5 can smooth it out a bit more, I'll be a happy man.

I've tried carbine REs, rifle REs and pistol REs. I've tried carbine buffers, H buffers, H2 buffers, rifle buffers and the buffer that came with the A5. I've tried the LMT Enhanced carrier. In the end, the one item that has the greatest affect in getting an AR to shoot smoothly, is the adjustable gas block. It's all about the gas flow

I would tend towards proper porting of a base barrel for a desired combination than an excessively ported one restricted down to work similarly.

[MistWolf]

That would be ideal if you know what the optimal port size is for the chosen barrel length and gas system length is, if you know if the rifle will be suppressed or unsuppressed and if the rifle is going to be suppressed, what the optimal gas port is for the combination of barrel length, gas system length and back pressure generated by the particular model of suppressor to be used.

An adjustable gas block is useful if the shooter ports the barrel for unsuppressed use now and decides to add a suppressor later.

All that aside, after experimenting with different ways to tune an AR, what has given the best results is controlling gas flow and the easiest way to control the gas flow is the adjustable gas block

Some do actually collect that trending data to reference.
I prefer dedicated non suppressed or dedicated suppressed porting. The suppressed porting can vary some, but still preferred over a base port being larger than it needs to be to begin with.
Depending on the combination, you can add action mass and other items when adding a can later with some benefits over the H2/A5H2 baseline, there are some cons, but MRBS isn't one of them, depending on the combo.
I'm not sure about this reference to tuning, a good baseline does not need to be anything other than it is for it's own intent parameters for overall function. If changes are made to that, then you need to make sure that changes in timing do not create a deficiency in the system.

Did you ever pick up the ARMS 41B?

No Sir, not yet, I have to call A.R.M.S and order over the phone, they stop selling them online due to people getting the wrong one and returning them.

Once I do, will still need to get my .308 barrel to ADCO to get it mounted.

Windham sent me an email I just found, back in December for their 13" hand guard, stating they have some in stock, but I need to call them as well to order one.

Good grief, first the holidays, and now the tax man cometh, so you know what is happening there, the projects just hit a stopping point....Booo
