So I'm having a little trouble with my cqbr cycling properly. It's a cut down 6920 with the pinned block (cut down). It worked fine with my previous 10.5 upper but now it won't lock back all the way on an empty mag. I believe I may be undergassed based on the symptoms and the lower is tried and true with an H buffer. Depending on the mag (i tried a dozen mags, several usgi, pmag, tangodown, and troy and I ranged from failure to fully stay back to ftf due to jams. Ejection pattern is about 12-1 direction. I put a carbine buffer in just now as my next option and its about .75oz less than the H buffer. Think that will work or will I have to open up the gas port? I've checked the usual kickers like lube, the bcg, gas tube, ramps, etc and that is all gtg. I haven't taken it apart to measure the gas port size but I'm hoping to try the standard carbine buffer prior to a permanent change to the gas port. I also tried various ammo with no change. On the gi mags the bolt fave will lock back on the follower or mag lip but not all the way to the catch. On other mags it won't lock back at all on an empty mag. Locks back fine without the upper or with just an empty mag. Think I covered everything. And btw its cut down to 10.3". Thoughts or advice?????

ADCO won't tell you what they open a gas port up to?!?!?! Wow, seems weird to do custom work done on a rifle and not tell the customer what is done. guess that leaves them a lot of wiggle room if someone busts out the calipers. Spec for the GP is .070 and DD barrels(what I have) reportedly have a larger gas port(.078 to .080?) and run everything, anywhere in that range and you'll be fine. If you have a suppressor or plan on getting one I'd stay closer to the smaller end of the range. |

As everyone else has already mentioned, when you cut the barrel down you need to open the gas port. FWIW, 5/64 is a really common drill bit size. If you have a simple cordless drill it will take you literally 10 seconds. Just make sure you stick a dowel down the barrel so you know when you've gone through an don't hit the other side. Very almost-idiot-proof job to do and will give you a .78 gas port. BTW, people saying DD barrels are .78 or so, I totally disagree. I'm pretty sure they're closer to the .86 mark and I've seen a few official statements from DD reps stating as much around the web. I have a couple DD 10.3 factory barrels and they feel much more open then my .78 DIY colts and my factory Colt. It's ridiculous how over gassed they are and how much unnecessary recoil they have. I'll never buy another factory DD 10.3 barrel again. |

I'm going to chime in here and suggest, as other posters have above, to have ADCO open it up beyond the spec of .070.
I was obsessed with building mine to exact specs and I specifically asked them to open it only to .070 and now I regret that decision because, while I'm 'clone-appropriate, I'm essentially stuck using only XM193 and M855 (the later of which I can't shoot on steel) because only full mil spec hot ammo runs my CQBR reliably. With XM193 and M855 she runs flawlessly but finding enough to keep resupplying is annoying. Along the same lines, I just bought a cheap ($125 shipped) 7.5" lightweight profile generic barrel on line last week and built it into an upper that, if you can believe this, EATS ANYTHING. She cycles like a German sewing machine and has NEVER had any failures of any kind. Yes, a 7.5' build. Why? The freaking gas port is huge. I didn't measure it but my buddy and I were amazed at how large it was when we were assembling the weapon. Edit: Oh, and to all the guys above who complimented my Block 1 CQBR (the green one on page 39), thanks guys. I could not have built it without the last thread... the now closed last thread. |

Thank you for this. I was debating with myself for a bit weather I should go the 'milspec' route and open it .070 but I'll just stick with .080 as per the DD specs.. it really doesn't make much a difference anyways other than being able to shoot 'light' (not literally) loads. .223 is my preferred training ammo as all ill have to do is re zero with my hotter xm193/855 ammo. |

TinyCrumb, 10.3" DD barrels are .86? And you have a couple? And unnecessary recoil?
Sorry, but does not sound anything like my experiences. I currently own two rifles equipped with those barrels, and have used five rifles equipped with them in just this past year alone. Even more if I were to go back. All have primarily been run with M855, and all have shown not even the slightest sign of being overgassed. And yes, I more than know what to look for. And a standard spring and H2 buffer is all that's required for optimum results with factory 10.3" DD barrels and whatever ammo you want to feed them. Were you running lighter buffers perhaps? As far as recoil, my current two factory DD 10.3" CQBRs both shoot as soft or softer with hot ammo than numerous other 10.3" to 11.5" SBRs from other reputable manufacturers that I both own or have operated. There's nothing about the 10.3" DD barrel equipped rifles I've shot that has ever had me taking note of their recoil over most other 556 SBRs I've operated. |

Others are reporting being directly told by ATF staff that when the system is down, the staff are unable to access it. That means that submittals that are "in progress" are not moving along.

Does anyone know where I could find a WMX200 hi-IR output, specifically VBL-600-A27?

I'd buy a Colt upper, Colt 10.3 or DD 10.3 barrel & a DD RIS II to be correct. If you want to be close then you can use the LMT parts. Depends on your budget & how long you might want to wait for parts. |

I'll probably tear it down and spray just the upper one of these days to make it look like it was a rebuild. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Lawdog-1: Get Back to MK18 and put the other BS in the SBR forum. F it. I'm with Turbine. You don't post pics or any meaningful contributions Lawdog. Just this same inappropriate post over and over with a smattering of uninformed questions that typically reek of a total lack of any research on the subject. Don't want to read the discussion? Then don't. Go start your own "pic only" thread. I'm sure that'll be a big hit  Sorry for the rant everyone. That post started getting under my skin after the 3rd time in the last thread. |

If anyone knows of a new FDE LMT gen 2 SOPMOD stock, please send me an IM. I've been looking for a new one for several weeks with no luck.
