Magwa Posted March 18, 2018 Report Posted March 18, 2018 Ok I am trying like hell to break out of my Funk I have been in for the last few months and so I have gone back and watched the Magpul movies art of the Tactical carbine and one of the instructors Not Travis Haley but the other one has a SBR that just barley throws his brass and it looks to be a sweet shooting carbine so what do I need to purchase to start on this path? I will be shooting a SBR 5.56 223 Wylde chamber 10 inch barrel adjustable gas block and standard carbine spring and buffer... My goal is to have the brass within 3 ft or so and have a smoother less recoil rifle.. I also have the option to shoot suppressed with tuning this way have a negative effect on that? or should I just forget about it and go eat a sandwich? or am I dreaming ?
jtallen83 Posted March 18, 2018 Report Posted March 18, 2018 It's not an SBR but I did a low mass build that has been a very sweet shooter and reliable once I got the bugs out. The brass will fall just a few feet away like you describe. I shoot it with the SDN-6 all the time, super soft. I may change the spring out for the Tubbs reduced power version, I have one in a 300 BO build and like how it works in this build when I swapped them around.
Robocop1051 Posted March 18, 2018 Report Posted March 18, 2018 Any of the LMOS systems with an adjustable gas system would make for a fun gun.
terrt_tr6 Posted March 31, 2018 Report Posted March 31, 2018 cheap start is to get a spare ejector spring and start trimming.

Remove the ejector from the bolt body. Leave the spring in there,make sure it's fully inserted. Note exactly how much spring sticks out of the bolt body. Trim the appropriate amount of spring off - OFF - so the spring is flush with the bolt body. That is exactly how much spring you need for reliable ejection. You don't need more than that. Give it a shot, brother. @Magwa
terrt_tr6 Posted March 31, 2018 Report Posted March 31, 2018 sure made collecting my brass a lot easier when i was shooting matches. Nice little pile beside me. Or, if you want that little edge, (and are one of "those kind of people", you can tune it to land on the shooter next to you. And i have a 3006 scar on my leg to prove it
Magwa Posted April 1, 2018 Author Report Posted April 1, 2018 as always you guys rock a JP capture spring , a tunable gas block and a smig off the ejector spring have made it very very sweetnow I am having fun again...going to shoot long range (my first) tomorrow with 6.5 Creedmore I am sure i will get my ass handed to me but I am a fast learner....carry on and thanks again brothers
