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.
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.
FEDBOI
Kidding 💜
...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?
You don’t have to do any paperwork as long as the ATF doesn’t know
true
but you can also legally make your own guns right?
Fuck if I know lol
buy about $20 worth of steel tubing at home depot, make a pipe shotgun and hand it in to a police buyback program for $100
ive heard a lot of people do that
Some kids in my beautiful home state of New Jersey did that and they shut it down
y tho? big sad
They’re big gay
i swear ive seen yt vids of americans showing off their supposedly legal homemade gun collection
Well I wouldn’t be surprised 😂
