This same thing happend in another thread that turned into grumpy defending crappy rifles again. IMHO I think we've all heard enough of why this particular rifle is having problems but there's no way it could be the shitty barrel.
    This thread can be closed at any point.
    Wow....havn't even bothered to read the thread I see.

    Which problems is this rifle experiencing again that a "milspec" rifle wouldn't experience under the same conditions?

    And which crappy rifles did I defend before? I remember saying that I think it's a good thing that another company (Stag) is making a full, milspec rifle, but I don't remember defending a crappy rifle.

    Please feel free to prove me wrong.

    On that note, do you have anything worthwhile to add to this thread besides trying to start a dogpile?

    ETA: as to this thread going anywhere and being locked, i'm still open to theories for the rifles behavior that would explain the reason why it would have excessive bolt speed while filthy, yet not when clean and lubed. Especially if the gas port is the reason. Still something to be learned here. No need to lock it.

    Theory time!

    On a cleaned and lubricated upper receiver the interior of the phosphate upper is kinda ragged, and not smooth if you look at it with high powered magnification.

    Let's say it's possible for the FZ Carrier to drag on that surface...

    However...

    combining lubricant, with carbon creating a smoother, and slicker ''mud'' combined with the inherent lubricity of the Nickel Boron, and you're not dragging the carrier on the same ''ragged'' surface, your dragging it through an aluminium tube with a mud lubricant on it, that gives way to the hot ass piece of metal being pushed through said ''tube''.

    tl;dr:

    Upper receiver's micro jaggedness possibly caused by phosphate doesn't give way because it's a metal coating. Lube + Carbon =/= mud, which does give way, and lubricates the gun further.

    Probably isn't true but it's a theory.

    Also I'd like to note something:

    You're gas port may be nearing .085-.090'' because of gas port erosion, if you've fired 8k rounds through it. If you're running a super large gas port already, then it's allowing even more hot gas through it which will further speed up the port erosion, and give you more gas... smaller ports take longer to erode because there is less room for hot gas to push into to begin with.

    Hope what I said made sense...
    We miss you, AC.
    We miss you, ToddG.

    You made sense. Not sure if that's the reason, but anything is possible.

    Looks like i'm gonna punch the FSB and check the port sometime soon.
