pst, but free

i can throw my karve in there, but i dont want to take that off my 7.5 300 black out

@Crye_Salesman edited for clarification lmao

I mean I’m not hoes mad. Although though I’m concerned about the heat

it can resist up to 200c, it melts at 240c, if my shit gets that hot... i have other things to worry about and will probably switch to holding the mag well at that point lol

What about it’s thermal dissipation/retention?

Got a question. If I'm building a rifle that's not intended to be used with armor and to have low recoil, a sporting rifle of sorts, would a fixed stock be more appropriate in order to use a rifle length buffer?

Never messed with rifle length receiver extensions before

I rifle length buffer won’t be needed depending on buffer weight.

The thought that popped into my head was
Adjustable gas block, geissele rifle length spring, jp lightweight buffer, faxon lightweight bcg

I don't like fixed stock because length of pull can change depending on terrain and cover, buffer and spring weight can be adjusted with gas to give you lighter impulses

Hell, I'd sell you my skeletonized BCG

I don't want it because I thought I wanted to make an ultralight build, but decided against it.

I know that the faxon one is g2g but a lot of others out there have issues, so I'm leaning towards that

Wouldn't be too worried about changing terrain and cover anyway since there likely wouldn't be time to adjust the length

Spring length and buffer length don’t matter as much as spring resistance or buffer weight.

I understand it helps a little though, so I'm seeing what all I can tweak within reason money wise

For a light recoiling gun, you’ll want a pretty resistant spring and a heavier than average buffer.

Huh. I read on jp's site that they suggested a lighter buffer when going with a light bcg

Heavier buffers would be slower and slam, rather than snap.

It’s a real balancing act.

Yeah, you'll have to go light and light, because if you have a light BCG, it won't have enough mass to go back and eject the cartridge

I've had experience messing with it, it's a pain in the ass.

Tuning gas systems can be a bitch

@Artemis VLTOR A5 RE is what you want

That sounds like it's between carbine and rifle length

Heavier buffers are a band aid for overgassed AR’s, you shouldn’t be building a rifle based on that

Rifleine

It’s a rifle length RE that takes carbine stocks

Adjusting your gas block is gonna do a lot.

A lot of your tuning will likely be done there.

Does the vltor a5 take regular rifle springs or a proprietary one?

Regular rifle spring

Hmm okay

But a proprietor buffer

They’re made by a few companies so they’re not like rare or anything

Does anyone in here machine their own parts? Asking for legitimate business reasons.

...unless

isnt the law in america you dont have to do any paperwork with parts as long as the ATF doesnt classify that part as the 'reciever' or whatever?
