Eta- pics. No select-fire but my safety is full auto! I can safely not shoot bursts/ full auto. I think I like having the m600p
fury on the block 1. I'm partial to tango down vfg stubbies and full size on the block 2's, but have afg's on hand for when in pistol form. Got a new Pri Gb ch for the block1, and a gen 2 (or3?) badger in the west coast eod. Were badger charging handles used much? Thought I read somewhere it was used on the mk12. Not sure which variant.

So, the new black Gas Buster CH I ordered just came in, and I'm kinda annoyed. It appears PRI has cut the size of the solid pin by about 50% compared to the older solid pin models. I mean, what in the actual fuck? How much cost savings could that possibly amount to reducing the size of the pin?
I'd wager the cost difference would negligible, so why do it? Did they maybe determine the pin needed to fail slightly earlier to avoid more serious damage to the body of the CH? I wonder if there was a viable reason, or are they just being a bunch of chintzy bastards?

Krdt are you sure it isn't just the head of the pin that's a smaller diameter? The hole looks roughly the same I.D. to me, just the pin or head of the pin looks smaller.
I haven't broken any pins on my 2 gas busters yet, but I also don't crank on them like I did my BCM ambi's, but that's just because the latch doesn't feel as......make me want to rip it back hard-ish? hard to explain. But I prefer the BCM ambi latches

But I prefer the BCM ambi latchesSpeaking of BCM Ambis, I actually sold a BCM Mod44A to buy this GB ;p. I wanted a GB painted to match the Mod 0, but I'm still not sure if I'm going to go with the FDE GB or keep the Raptor-SD on the Block II. Won't really know until the RC is out of jail. So, I didn't want to paint the FDE knowing I might end up using it. As far as robustness, the Raptor-SD is definitely the more beefy feeling between the two. That said, the solid pin GBs aren't that bad; not nearly as rickety feeling as the old roll pin GBs. Originally Posted By Spooled:

A smaller diameter hole would leave more material on the latch, making it stronger. Just food for thought.

Same here. I thought it was a fluke, now I know it's a deliberate decision on their part. I think they just realized it didn't need to be that long.

Also worth noting the anodizing on this GB isn't quite as nice as on previous GBs. No big deal, just a tad rougher and more matte. The anodizing on older GBs was smoother and almost shiny. I don't really care either way since I'm painting it, but thought it was worth mentioning. |

It's not an RC, but at the price the SB is going for, that's fairly easy to overlook. It's visually the same and for all intents and purposes, it's an RC with a larger bore. Sure, you'd know... but unless someone handles it up close or you tell them, likely no one else will. It's a great deal, so that's something to consider. I guess my decision would come down to this: if it's a choice of only one now and forever, get the NT4. If it's one or the other now, and likely the other down the road, get the SB or shell out for an RC if you can find one. Truth is, there is a good chance you'll end up getting both anyway. |

There's just something magical about the RC on a MK18....should have a warning label " makes grown men giggle like a little girl". 1.) lower back pressure. 2.) improved mounting 3.) cheaper 4.) I love to giggle like a little girl socom sb cons: 1.) not an nt4 2.) not a socom rc 3.) only partial credit for clone correctness 4.) none I can think of nt4 pros: 1.) it's an nt4 2.) I already have 3 mounts. 3.) its an nt4 4.) Its correct clone wise. nt4 cons: 1.) price 2.) availability can be hit or miss. Get one when you can find it. 3.) longer? 4.) slightly heavier? Can't remember if they ended up being really close with mounts added. well, it seems that however awesome the nt4 is, it'd mostly be an impulse buy based on it being an nt4. The sb, while not technically correct, is damn close enough, and will be cheaper and easier on my rifles. Now that I think I have my mind made up, watch em be out of stock

That's awesome. I will take you up in that offer next time we both have a Saturday or Sunday free to burn. I honestly thought you had an nt4. The lower back pressure is a nice plus, but I already have the qdss on all but 1. Wouldn't take much to swap em all for 3p's. I will definitely end up with multiple cans, knowing my impulsivity, but don't want more than 1 suppressor in each caliber 556, 762, 9,45. Things would get outta hand quick if I started buying multiples. Although an nt4 and sb would make the perfect pair. Then it'll be "oh, I may as well build a mk12 and get an aem5 while I'm at it. That's what I'm afraid of. Socom sb pros: 1.) lower back pressure. 2.) improved mounting 3.) cheaper 4.)

I had a tan NT4 in order with my dealer for my first can. After a month I got impatient and let him talk me into an AAC M4-2000. I regret that everyday. The M4-2K is a good can, but it’s not an NT4. I wasn’t even into cloning but it would have made it much easier.
I have the SOCOM 556RC now and it’s badass. I love it. The mounting system is one of my favorites. It quite as quiet to me as my M4-2000, but it’s clone so I love it more. I guess if I ever do a HK416 then I’ll have the m4-2000 already. Anyways that’s a tough choice between the NT4 and any SOCOM can. |
