I ran about 200 rounds through it today. No stopages of any kind. It ran like a champ. I am very happy with this project!
A huge thanks to Steve at
ADCO FIREARMS. He built this upper for me from RRA parts. The waiting was killing me for a factory built upper so Steve literaly built this one by hand. Great job Steve!
A few notes on this set up. With the Hy-tech mag block there is no bolt hold open feature. This is different from what all of us are used to with 5.56mm ARs, but the same as HK sub guns. If you don't run dry and reload when you can instead of when you have to, I don't see it as a problem. The other major difference from a standard AR is the mag release is on the left instead of the right.
I would also like to thank pazzo for helping me out with pretty much all things AR. And letting me shoot some of the coolest toys I will ever see.
You have a Gemtech Raptor with my name on it after I get my new home and new family member in order. You sir, are a very bad influence. I am still trying to figure away to go title 2 and pay for a new kid.
If any one ever needs suppressor help, he is the man to see. Be warned, this firearms crack dealer will have you addicted in no time at all.
And no, my tacpoint did not burst into flames.
