    Would anyone know if DD's HF 14.5 middy is tuned the same way as BCM's in terms of gas port size?

I'd like the freedom to put it on a non SBR lower. The ability to have it reversed w/o damage as a plus too. What would you charge to do it for me? Looks like I could have it done professionally for about what I'd spend in gear and I'd know it was done right.

    Thanks
    It just threaded on sitting on one if my SBR lowers.

    Weaker than Wolf?

    Although I've shot a little of both, I've never compared the two.

    I've got a Sabre 14.5 middie that I built up during the drought and it runs on most anything with an H buffer. I mosly shoot Remington and PMC bronze. Wolf runs better with a carbine buffer.

    I recently bought an BCM 14.5 middie and it runs the same with the H buffer, just not as many rounds through it yet.

    The Wolf ammo is mainly just so darn inconsistent. You never know if the batch you just bought is gonna be gtg or weak as hell and have short-stroking issues.

    I don't personally think PMC is exactly that weak, although it sure as hell ain't "hot" ammo by any stretch of the imagination. I guess you could say its one of the weakest loads out of all the quality ammo available. But the main thing that's important to me with PMC is that you know what you're getting b/c it's consistently a little on the weak side.

    Regardless, even though I wasn't always like this, I'll pretty much shoot whatever in my guns.

    ran about 500-ish rounds of XM193 thru it flawlessly, using a carbine buffer too

    Its velocity is pretty low, and it short strokes in a few of the M4carbine.net members 20 inch guns... including mine.

    It could partially be a funky burn rate propellant too.

    Although it could be important to some, velocity isn't an issue to me with training ammo. Not sure if it should be or not, but it's not something that's ever crossed my mind. When it comes to ammo used for hunting hogs though....


    And I don't own any 20" guns as of now, 16" is the longest I roll with. So I never knew that, but it's good to know for future reference for sure.

    Same here. I handload my own training ammo, and it is really mild. But using the RIGHT propellant can make even weak ammo run on a wide variety of gas systems/barrel lengths.

    These foreign ammo companies can't seem to figure this out.
