AA, I think you keep either skirting (or are unaware of) a serious issue. It's not JUST the barrel nut length, it's ALSO the SHAPE of the barrel nut. The AA system requires a mil spec STYLE barrel nut WHICH HAS TEETH on it. The teeth are required to support the lower AND partial sides of the spring cup. Without those teeth, the cup will only be supported on the extreme lower edge and this will result in accelerated wear on the rod or potential failure of spring cup. Please STOP saying it just requires a mil spec LENGTH barrel nut. That is misleading. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I don't know the dimensions of the KMR barrel nut, but like TK mentioned if it is not much longer you should be fine. as far as where the bushing rests, as long as a large enough portion of the bushing is resting against the barrel nut to prevent the bushing from sliding over it, you should be good to go.

My kit will be here friday. I have a daniel defense MK18 that I was planning to put it on. And another daniel defense 12" lite rail II tat I could put it on if it wont work on the MK18.
I was told by the rep that if it clears the hand guard, it will work. He didnt say anything about the barrel nut!?!?! I just took it all apart and the barrel nut measures .7 Will it work? This system is advertised to fit under most MAJOR rail systems. Why are we just now finding out it wont? |

Thanks! the key here is going to be whether or not the bushing is resting against the barrel nut when the plug and drive rod are in place. if the bushing is not resting on the barrel nut, then when the gun cycles the nut and the bushing will slam together and things will start breaking (barrel nut, bushing, drive rod) . however you can easily avoid this by adding an appropriate size washer or other spacing device so that the bushing rests on the nut. hope that answers your question. who's next? lets see if i can use the word "nut" more times in the next answer. |

It needs .065 taken off for it to be flush with the gas block. on setting 6. As you can see, on setting 6, the lever is sticking out on the side. When the gas block is fitting snug in the rail, this wont allow you to put the kit on setting 6. Adams Arms, Listen up. This lever should be flush with the gas block when on high setting!!!!! A rough measurement shows you will only need to take off .070 Maybe take off .100 to be on the safe side. I dont understand why the engineers didnt come up with this. Why do the customres have to engineer your products?? As mentioned. A drop in rail, should be a drop in rail. Especially with a major rail. I will be leaving here shortly to go to a friends property to try shooting it again. This time with the rail off. I will give an update later tonight. |

As for the adjustment knob clearance protrusion... I'm stumped as to why it's made that way
But as for the "short stroking"... they are notorious for that on a new build. They require the cam pin to wear into the upper a tad for it to function smoothly. About 100+ rounds seems to be the "normal" for the system (then smooth sailing after that). Mine short stroked for about the first 150-200 rounds but now it feeds/fires/ejects any 223/5.56 I throw in it (although still not sure about Silver Bear, it was my worst offender, and I've since stopped purchasing that low powered junk). I'm impressed with AA's systems once their broken in. Hoping yours works out as well. Keep us posted on the lever fix! |

When I first built it, it was over gassed. One thing I did that fixed it was putting a H3 buffer in it. I put a different buffer in it today. It was either a H1 or H2. Either way it was lighter. And the gun functioned perfect with the rail off. I tried position 5 and 6 and it worked fine. I was also using wolf ammo. I didnt have any brass loaded up. Im getting ready to go down and put that pressure switch in a vice and take a dremel to it. I love this system. I want one for my 5.45x39 rifle.

One of the claims Adams Arms made was that the XLP system eliminates the flash signature. This was one of the features that had me interested especially for shorter barrels. Have you noticed any reduction with your 10.3" barrel? |

I just got my mid length XLP today for my "middy recce pisety sidey-cocky medcony" build. There are 5 detents. There is a video out from Shot Show claiming "8 positions". Not sure if it is 5 or 6 (past the last detend in the "-" direction where it rotates freely) position?
I notice the block is very long and has 3 set screws as opposed to the usual 2. Does anyone know if the adjustment knob would stick out past the end of an 11" handguard? I can throw the 9" Evolution I currently have on my 10.5" 300BLK nd measure if there are 2 more inches available. Update: using my breath, I found that the 5 positions range from fully open to closed. the other numbers were probably prototypes. Mike |

I got my upper mostly built last night. I need to get a rail. I verified that the adjustment knob will stick out past an 11" handguard (with a tiny bit to spare) so it'll be a stubby Recce (since 12" rifle length handguards are part of the Recce definition).
The area where American Spirit Arms puts their side charger notch is scalloped out on the new Low Mass carrier. They had to built it up with stainless TIG material before machining, which they did in their shop while I waited. They did a really nice job. Their cold blue did not take on the stainless but I will try something a bit stronger and if that does not work a little high temp brake caliper paint should do it. Since the notch voids the warranty I was not worried about "Double Secret" void warranty :) The Sampson rail's anti-rotation tabs will need to be modified slightly. I've done this before for a Sun Devil billet upper but the American Spirit is even beefier. A.S.A. has their own signature line of Sampson rails but they are not on the KeyMod version yet. The very latest version of the Sampson Evolution has an anti-rotation set screw on the bottom so I'm not too worried even if I have to remove them completely. Only one glitch: Magpul BAD lever is no go (width because it is billet and height because it is a side charger). I am looking at this unit and have sent both companies an email: http://phase5wsi.com/extended-bolt-release-v2-sc.html Mike PS. Got a reply back form Brandi at A.S.A. within minutes. The Phase 5 Weapon Systems unit works. |

personally a big fan of the phase5 v2 over the magpul lever. it is considerably less clunky.
also that stainless will take bluing much better if you heat it up some. |

Wow, we actually hear back from adams. They completely blow off all the questions and problems asked in this thread. Instead they comment on their choice of accessories.

[#39]
AA, Because 9mm mags have weaker springs than 5.56mm mags, I have found that the added weight of the Magpul makes the LRHO marginal on my 9mm upper. The Phase 5 should help with that too.
I'll try some heat. Walker 77, I have found Adams Arms very responsive to e-mail. You should probably e-mail your questions to them instead of hoping they see them on a forum. Mike |

No venting to atmospheric pressure and thus no flash or supersonic crack Can you elaborate

yes I too am interested to know more about the flash "elimination" abilities of the system. Does it completely remove the flash signature as stated by the use of word eliminate in the advertising of XLP? Or does it reduce flash signature? Could I use this system with a 7.5in barrel without any muzzle device and not see any flash?

Does the XLP system also use 90 in-lb of torque on the gas block screws like the older versions or is it different?

I put the Daniel Defense MK18 rail back on the gun and took it out and shot it this morning. Its back to acting up again. I only fired about 10 rounds and got fed up with it and went back to shooting other guns. It ejected all the brass, but it didnt pick up a fresh round. I was using hornady TAP. I had to cycle it by hand to get it to chamber a round.
It was working perfect with the rail off, and it malfunctions with the rail on. What is your solution Adams Arms??? I have emailed tech. support and never got a response from them either. |

As far as the Adams Arms System eliminating the supersonic crack, the reasoning is because of the 180 degree turn that the gasses make when the enter and leave the piston cup. That 180 degree turn slows the gasses to less than super sonic as so eliminate the "flash" that often disrupts Night Vision. This is not referring to the actual muzzle flash.

Two questions.
Will this system work with a gen 1 DD lite rail? Can it be used for 6.5 Grendel? |
