Fwiw, I went shooting with @gamecockoperator this past Saturday. His Jakl (10.5" 556) did not like Daniel defense 32rd mags. Ran ok with magpul. Mine (8.5" 300blk) loved lancer and Hera mags. |

I just shot mine today, stupid accurate. Went through half a mag having to cock it each time before I figured out the gas was turned off. Duh. Ran fine after that. Pmags, GI, whatever I ran through in it. Probably, 2" was worse group I had. Ammo was some of my reloads, 55gr stuff. Really happy with it.
Wife also got me an M17 for my birthday. I'm not near the pistol shot I used to be, getting old sucks, but damn I liked it more than I thought I would. My best bud wants one now, says it shoots better than any of his Glocks. (Oh shit, now I've done it...) |

So this may be a silly question but what is the best way to remove the flash hider? For a standard AR i have an old school action block but being that this is not standard what would you suggest? I need to attach a AAC mount to be able to use my can. I am pretty stoked to pick mine up tomorrow from my FFL!!!
Thanks in advance! |

The flash hider on a 10.5 JAKL isn't pinned and welded, so maybe a wrench that fits over the gas block to hold the upper steady while you turn off the FH?

my brothers FDE 13.7" jakl was dead when he tried to first shoot it.
He brought it to me and I tore it down. Pretty dry on all the parts. Charging handle is meh. A curved metal plate sliding through a aluminum channel full of overspray. needs grease. Oild and greased it up. Much better. I googled the propr gas block function and proceeded to take it to the range to test fire. jam o matic. Turns out the info on the gas block was wrong. Clockwise opens up the gas. (looking from muzzle) Setting 7 has been 100% with lake city .223. I like the contained buffer system. I am unimpressed with the FDE paint. Scratches easy. Looks cheap. The stock flexes a lot. There are a lot of bolts holding it together. Were they torqued properly? Were they threadlocked ? Its a cool platform and I hope PSA can improve it. |

Are the 10.5 pistols supposed to come with the S gas plug? I got an extra spring and detent but no gas plug... is that still a thing?
Thanks Wynn |

As someone who has zero 300 BO builds, would yall go with a jakl 8.5 or build out a 300 BO AR in the 8-8.5" range?

You can build a decent quality, lighter weight AR for a little less $. If you want a folding piston gun without spending MCX / Rattler $ then the Jakl is a good option. |

View Quote Assuming you do have AR15 guns already, putting the 300 BO in the JAKL would segregate that caliber to a unique rifle so you wouldn’t have to worry too much about mixing ammunition and having a kaboom. Then if you later buy a JAKL in .556 you could get a different color as the BO to keep this concept going. Besides that, I’d go JAKL in the 300 BO if you thought you were going to use a suppressor since they are made with an adjustable gas system. |

does PSA not offer this config in ODG?

Had been eyeing them for a while and then a certain yootoob vid sent me over the edge...ordered everything yesterday to go ahead and utilize an existing SBR lower with a 10.5" 5.56 upper and a Haga MBT stock. And then this morning PSA sends me a back in stock notification for an 8.5" 300BO, why not. Will use an YHM R9 on both. I'd really like to use one for hog hunting at night, shots under 150 and mostly under 75. Excited to do something different after building so many ARs. Seems like the folding stock design will really let you utilize the tax stamps for a compact package.

Ordered a tan 300 BO Jakl lower tonight. Then ordered separately a JMAC skeleton tube stock kit for a brace until I SBR it. Waiting for the 8.5 tan uppers to come back in stock.

Jakl experts… I’m having issues getting my Jakl 300 to run. I’ve tried both Magpul 300 20 and 30 rounders, Lancer 30 rounders, as well as a few various 5.56 mags. I’m getting feed failures when trying to chamber a round.
I broke down the gun and made sure everything was clean and well lubed and nothing looked out of place. When I disassembled the bolt, the extractor spring looks like it’s been through hell on a brand new gun. Chewed up and looks like it’s been cut/filed down. Ammo is AAC 110 grain 1) is the extractor spring standard AR spec? If so, I can certainly swap it. 2) any other suggestions before sending the upper back to PSA? Nothing else I’m seeing looks like a cause for concern |
|
|
I bet it is the same issue everyone else is having with the bottom of the bcg dragging across the mag/round when trying to feed.
|
|
|
Possibly… I’m also thinking that the bolt/piston carrier may be out of spec. The extractor spring was certainly chewed up out of the box.

9mm Jakl looks cool.
The lower reminds me of the A3 Tactical Stribog lower. |

So thinking hard about a 10.5” 5.56 to put on my sbr lower. My questions are I have a 12.5” DI upper that I haven’t completely finished and trying to decide to finish it or just go with the JAKL upper? I will probably run it both suppressed and not. How do we think the longevity of the JAKL? Will we be able to get parts later on for it if need be?

crap this isn't GD

Has anyone read anything about different barrel profiles 8n the future?

Question about the Vuk concept rifle:
Would the Vuk upper work on a standard AR based lower? I think that would look outstanding. |

I have an SBR'd at this point jakl 300 FDE lower I'm just waiting for the 300 uppers to come in stock. Been about a month to month and a half now I think. About to just buy a complete pistol so I can actually shoot this thing. Maybe my dedicated Nomad 30 will clear before the uppers come back in stock lol. But anyway, to the poster above, SHOT just ended last week so I'm sure they're a tad behind on some things. Hell I ordered an FDE 3.0 Rein from Cloud, that was in stock, on January 12th, and I'm in their home state and have yet to receive tracking. It's crazy.

My gas piston seemed to be contacting the gas block, so I thought the block was canted but I guess there was something out of spec with the BCG/piston.

Has anyone used a 300 BO Jakl with a Griffin Explorr 300. Most interested if it fits given the location of the adjustable gas mechanism.
Any anecdotes regarding the suppression would also be appreciated. |
