Had to dig through my parts bin to find a new gas tube. The MK12 gas block was tight but I heated it up and used the gas tube to place it. Pulled the optic off one of my Larue rifles to go see how she shoots tomorrow.

Razor Core, Magtech, Norma.....all three are easily found and I'm in the market to buy a few boxes to try in the Holland. What's everyone's favorite?
(I'm probably going to buy at least one box of each and try them all, but hey, why not throw it out for discussion?) |

So far the Razor Core has shot 1/2-1" in these rifles. Its been extremely accurate and repeatable in the Larue Rifles I have. Larue UU 18" Stealth Larue UU 16" Stealth PRI MK12 Mod 0 (factory gun) Mutt rifle of dubious parts (all of them came out of my parts bin) 1" is the best I have gotten here 20" barrel Most accurate out of them all is the Razorcore and the least was the Hornady steel match. I picked up all the Razor Core stuff I have for $129/240 in the ammo can. I went to buy more and its $199/can. |

I've been able to get hits out to 900 with Razorcore and MagTech 77gr. I think I could have hit at 1,000, but I couldn't see where my bullets were landing. Plus my Leupold was maxed out and I was already using mil holds at 900.
I just buy whichever one is cheaper. Usually the Razorcore is cheaper when Midway puts them on sale for 50 cents per round with free shipping. Either one is going to work great for the rifles capabilities. |

CBC has been slightly more accurate for me over the razorcore in two rifles I’ve fired both in. A 10.3” colt fbi barrel, and a 18” CLE Douglas spr barrel.

Neither is 100% just yet, but the badger gas block and tube arrived today (nice of badger to make a set screw gas block that doesn't come with set screws
 ) for the mod 1, and i just tossed a couple charging handles on the guns to take em to the range. Ace SOCOM (allegedly gen 1) arrives tomorrow, and I'll just use the YHM can on the mod 1 for a bit.
Obviously still need gasbusters for both, bottom rail on the H, LT-104 for each (not keen on arms rings), and the brake/collar on the mod 1, which will eventually go on an A2 lower. I'm too tall for the A1.

My dealer did a range day yesterday and I got a chance to try out my aem5. I was super excited about how quite the thing is, grinning ear to ear.
I was having a failure to feed problem though.. only had a heavy buffer and standard spring with me. Would something a little heavier help correct this? Maybe a H2 with a stiffer spring? I’m guessing it’s a little over gassed with the suppressor.

It fed very reliably without the suppressor so hopefully I can tune it with just buffer weight/spring.
Is 5 full turns within spec for mounting the can? |

BA barrel and Badger gas block...not a match made in heaven 
Unless there’s a magic secret, guess it’s time for a new barrel or GB. I put a generic .750 GB on and it went on like butter, but the Badger and PRI FSB barely made it past the step up. Tried it on the BA 16" Mod-H barrel and same result as well https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/449093/833CF721-E189-4A2E-8D73-B06F8AC001CE-670523.JPG The best way to fit a tight gas block is a .750" Ball Flex-Hone. You can run it on a battery operated drill (apply a light oil to it) and it will make the ID of the gasblock have a super nice glass finish. Run it a few times and check until it just drops onto the barrel. This is by far the best way to fit one in my opinion.  Attached File |
