Think I will pass on this one, think a one piece ring is a better option. Just my opinion

I was going to ask about one piece rings. I think they make sense, and with no data to back it up I swapped to them.

Have got a link for the gas ring you used? Also have you shot it yet?

I have one in my 300BLK build and it works fine. I have yet to use the other AR that has it and I have yet to dig out the rest for replacement.

Wilson also has AR10 one piece rings..

It hasn't been about anything since 2019. 

 

 

Sometimes I line up the gaps in my gas rings just for fun.

I've often wondered if they don't sometimes line up all on their own and we never see it.

Lol I think they do.

This thread makes me nervous.

Nervous enough to bring it back 3 years later!

...and the gun still runs just fine.      I do it, too - just to prove it.

Last time I checked, I blew out 1 (or 2 maybe) of the 3 gas rings on my MK-18. It was still running just fine. I might get around to replacing them before my upcoming trip to AZ.

Fuk it.  Leave it as it is.  It did fine. 

Let's document it, get pics of your blown out rings, then get a vid of it running like a champ.

Not even a little bit surprised.
