So, if I have an overgassed AR, and am kinda an idjit, what’s the best way to make it gooder?
A heavier spring? Do I need to mess with the gas block or get a different tube? Am I going to have to do all this multiple times to get it right, or is there a suggestion or guide or something?
Yes, that’s the buffer.
Where are you getting gas in the face from?
Also, how long is your barrel, and how long is your gas tube? Ideally you’d have full rifle length for both (16" barrel, 12" gas tube) but you can have a short tube on a long barrel. No idea why, but they exist.
I guess it’s more of a cloud around the bolt. I know the barrel is 16 and 12 sounds about right for the gas tube.
I got a kearms cdr, so I think it’s pretty basic, probably milspec everything. I’m going to have to weigh the buffer and see what it is.
You make a good point about reliability though, and it’s never not done a thing it should (load a new round and discard the old one)
