Another Gas Solution - 03/25/20
IME one of the biggest issues that ARs deal with is over-gassing. There’s a couple of solutions that use like donuts on the extractor and heavier buffers / buffer springs. But those aren’t really solutions, they’re just band-aids that mask the problem of the BCG getting too much gas.
Adjustable gas blocks are a solution, but are pricey and overbuilt for the solution that’s needed, and can pose their own problems if they’re meant to replace a pinned gas block and the barrel isn’t dimpled.
I had a similar problem recently in one of my guns. After switching to a new ammo for practice I had an AR that began ejecting at 1 o’clock.
I contacted Black River Tactical about one of their ported has tubes. BRT’s gas tubes are ported, so you can meter the exact amount of gas you need without changing gas blocks, using only a single punch, and for only $40.
The first tube I ordered still wasn’t ported small enough and I emailed them asking for help. BRT actually went and bought a box of the ammo I’m using and tested gas tubes until they found exactly what I need and mailed it out to me.
I’m now ejecting at exactly 3 o’clock. Simple solution for only $40.
