I had a lengthy email conversation with the folks at JP today. To say it was enlightening is an understatement. For the purposes of this thread two important items. They convinced that every civilian 308 AR will benefit from an adjustable gas block ( I think John Boyette mentioned this a while back too) In general most of these rifles are over gassed which is why the carrier weights and heavy buffers work. These are remedies. A better solution is the adjustable gas block and find the sweet spot for perfect bolt timing. This is how JP is able to use the low mass carrier. Ammunition - These rifles have gas systems designed for very specific military appications with known set of internal ballistics thst operate in a narrow range. This allows a fixed gas system to function acceptably. Civilian ammo is all over the place. Keep trying ammo until you find what works best in you rifle. as a side note Hornady is now suggesting gas guns have adjustable gas blocks if they are going to utilize the superformance ammunition. I will start other topics on all of this but I thought it would help this thread as well.
If I understand the page it's a standard Trijicon front post that you need to purchase seprately. How does the $$ work out combined with the cost of the MBUS?
I had a discussion with JP Rifles about many things today. The first of which is the JP LOW MASS CARRIER. It is Important to note that the carrier is expected to be used with their adjustable gas block. They are a complimentary system.
Nice review, although I disagree with the CETME comments. The author must have had a cherry picked example:) I think I need to modify Armalites signature with the "Uncle Armalite" title..I like that.
The rifle is cheap compared to the ammo he will chew up once he has his own weapon. PM me his email. I want to help him empty your wallet select the correct hardware. ;D
Looks like Jgun needs to step up to the plate <laughs> Anyone want to start a pool as for what month 98Z5V buys his next weapon? I got dibs on July <lmao>
I went through this a while ago. Most felt it would be deemed collapsible. The law would certainly see it that way at least here in CT. The other thing was I had never seen a UBR in a gunshop or at the range. At the time I contacted Magpul and suggested a new fixed stock based on the UBR for guys like us
Well I think that chassis only works with short action 700. Might as well get the most expensive item now. Everything else will seem like a deal going forward. <laughs> So now for the truth, you bought it already didnt you <munch>
