You can link the video by clicking the linking icon. I think only members can post YouTube videos that embed.

I watched your video. Looking good. You only had to rack the CH once, that was good.

That's light! Yours is going to be a total of 9.7 oz including buffer . When do you think you'll run it for testing? If 10 oz runs great then I might run my carbine wt down with the aluminum wt I made.

I did not have any problems with the carbine buffer but I did have the BUD engage once.  I ran out of ammo and I also had one guy come over and ask me if I was shooting full auto..lol

The threaded hole is for pinning threaded lead weights into the rear of the carrier. It's designed so weight can be added if desired.

Like I said if they say this is a machine gun then they can classify semi auto as a machine gun too.  Function of the trigger is key to the definition. Two functions are not a machine gun.

Why not steel weights? I would think lead might be problematic.

I'm actually not sure what the weights are made of. I don't have any of the weights.

 



That said, it's not going to get hot enough to cause an issue.

If they send you a weight let me know what it's made of. I would think steel would he the first option. Anyway I hope you have running soon. I'm itching to hear how it runs at 9.7 oz. Hope your trigger get there soon. my second should arrive tomorrow

The weight is steel, it's locked in place via a set screw through the threaded hole on the top rear of the carrier

I got my second trigger today and I was determined to put it in my Quarter circle 10 lower. To sume it up the BFS trigger in the current hammer configuration will not work with an AR9. Before I get to that let me show you what the drop in trigger looks like.

Here is the box before I opened it.

Here is the trigger inside. Looks like the side shims are gone and replaced with lower bottom shims. The instructions say the bottom shims pile apart for placement.


I used BAD selector screws in place of the screws that were supplied in the pack. They work and are much easier to work with and remove.



I installed the BFS trigger in one of my QC10 lowers 9mm. It would not fit so I removed a little material from the side and it fit perfectly. I used kns pins to finish up the install. Once I attached the upper I tried charging . no go.... I started thinking about the size of the hammer vs the interior diameter of the carrier. I removed the upper and found out the problem. The hammer on the BFS trigger measured ~ .410 "and the interior diameter on the carrier is ~.355". So its not going to work with my  9mm carrier. (Cmmg). Are there carriers that are wider? If it were machined then you would have to remove the weight. Any suggestions? How did the guy with the 9mm cmmg get his to run? I thinking about calling FA Monday to see what they think.
Here is the underside of the 9mm bcg

This is the same problem I'm worried about with my Aluminum carrier.  The inside of my carrier measures .457 on the bottom.  At the top it's not relieved as much and if the hammer is too tall I know it won't work.  Not the end of the world, I can sub in my AP Rhino or AIM LW carriers if needed.

I don't know if they have any moveable weights. I'm not interested in a buffer with no sliding weights.

Do you think a shop like ADCO could mill the extra material on the 9mm carrier and if they did do you think it might affect function?

This is the same problem I'm worried about with my Aluminum carrier.  The inside of my carrier measures .457 on the bottom.  At the top it's not relieved as much and if the hammer is too tall I know it won't work.  Not the end of the world, I can sub in my AP Rhino or AIM LW carriers if needed.  


Do you think a shop like ADCO could mill the extra material on the 9mm carrier and if they did do you think it might affect function?
Anyone with a mill ought to be able to open it up. It shouldn't remove enough weight to adversely affect function.

Anybody know about these?? Is an adj gasblock REQUIRED with these buffers??

Taccom Lightweight Buffer
I don't know if they have any moveable weights. I'm not interested in a buffer with no sliding weights.  


Why do you need sliding weights? Please explain in a way Forrest Gump would understand...

Is there an "off the shelf" item that would fit the bill?

I was wondering how he got it to work. I cant charge it.  He had to mill the bolt for it to work. I wish he would have told us.

The sliding weights in the buffer are there to get rid of, or rather help with bolt bounce.

I guess I need to find someone that can do the milling for me. Thanks for the advice.



Touchdown Alabama! .... Watching the game too

I milled the sides of the BFS hammer to allow clearance.

They really didn't take much weight off of those, it's more of an aesthetic mod IMO.

And you can just press the scallop in the carrier to accomplish the same thing when doing a press check.
