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.

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 😂

Yeah you can legally make your own guns as long as you don't make them with the intent to sell them. Gets a little sketchy but technically it is legal to sell them later on, you just can't make them with the intent to.

I have a firearm company, try to start manufacturing, I need someone who can make the parts

Oh that’s hype dude

Why would we post videos? Like nothing screams “come fuck with me” more than videos.

In Canada its legal to build certain guns depending upon what type of firearms licence you have (PAL or RPAL)

Recommendations for a holster that can hold a glock 17 with light and optics? Seems like I could only find one or the other on safariland website.
