sasquatch981 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Has anyone tried this combo? Was thinking about trying this as it would appear to my lizard brain that the longer gas tube, coupled with the adjustable gas system would allow for a soft shooting AND that would not beat the crap out of the receiver. I will also be running a sales 7.62 on this. Will the suppressor their a monkey into this wrench as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dauntedfuture Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 The pigtail is older technology. It will do almost the same thing as an adjustable gas block, I would get an adjustable gas block. You don't need both. - I will also be running a sales 7.62 on this. I don't know what a sales 7.62 is. Will the suppressor their a monkey into this wrench as well? - I have no idea what you are saying here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OscarMike Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 A longer gas tube causes a softer impulse because more gas has to be compressed between the barrel and gas key. A shorter gas tube has less gas volume, and it gives a sharper recoil impulse. An adjustable block adjusts the amount of gas entering the tube which minimizes the amount of gas used to throw the bolt rearward, but it doesn't change the length of tube or the volume of the gas having to be compressed. DF: He's asking if a suppressor will affect this stuff. Sasquatch, it will. But that's what the adj gas block is for. A suppressor causes increased back pressure which effectively increases the dwell time after the gas port in the barrel. This causes more gas to go into the receiver. If you use an adj gas block you decrease the amount of gas being used to throw the bolt back. It'll decrease the gas coming out of the charging handle area, make your receiver cleaner, and actually make your shots quieter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Running a 10.5 inch here with a std carrier and gas block, a spikes t2 buffer and a Miculek comp. does it shoot as flat as a full rifle length gun no but for a shorty it shoots plenty flat and isn't that violent with the heavier buffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinWolv Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I will also be running a sales 7.62 on this. Will the suppressor their a monkey into this wrench as well? Saker 762, perhaps? You need less gas going to the gun with the suppressor mounted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
