  1. I understand the cost of production. But I have access to tools and the know how to make my own. I just can’t bring myself to jump through any hoops and a tax stamp to have something I have a right to. 😮

  2. I took home Sunday omega 36m i purchased from you guys , got direct tread and 30 cal end cap with flash hider , got it on my 16" 300 blackout, took 10 shoots without ear muffs and it was loud enough where my ears rand , i realized i needed adjustable gas block because bolt slap was to strong got tons of ejection port gas slap. Saturday gas block will be delivered and i will tune it down as much as possible where it will only work suppressed subsonic no other ammo , do you honestly think i need to spend another $160 on buffer to reduce more decibel or it won't be even worth it after good adjustable gas block tune ? Thanks for good video good job

  3. I went with a superlative arms adjustable gas block and a radian raptor SD charging handle and an armaspec adjustable silent capture buffer spring running a silencer co 36m in the short configuration with a 556 flash hider end cap and my 10.5 fucks hard. And YES tinnitus eats ass.

  4. Armaspec captured spring is a cheaper option to the JP springs and is also really, really good. I've used both. Cannot overstate how amazing these options are. Not just twang, but with the Armaspec SRS multi-stage spring specifically, it's significantly smoother and a much nicer recoil impulse.

  5. The Radian charging handle doesn’t do anything for gas coming back. It’s a good charging handle in general, but the gas reduction claim is snake oil. The SilencerCo one is the only charging handle that makes an obvious improvement to gas.

  6. The Radian Charging Handle is by far the worst charging handle at gas mitigation. It doesn’t properly seal around the top of the upper receiver, allowing gas to escape directly into your face. The Geissele SCH and Silencer Co charging handle are far better. Also, if you’re running an adjustable gas block, wouldn’t it make more sense to use a lighter buffer and spring? It would require less gas to cycle the weapon and since you can restrict the gas with the adjustable block that would seem more ideal

  7. umm. how is an A5 longer travel? that's limited by the bolt carrier. if that's what it did, the gas key would be smashing the back of the receiver and it would most definitely not be "smoother shooting"

  8. Buy a Daniel Defense DDMV7 and be done – I’ve never once had to do anything but take my can on and off. 5500
    rounds and countless different ammos with and without a can – zero failures

  9. I just have to say that using JP SCS in an A5 buffer tube makes NO sense. JP SCS requires a spacer to run in an A5 tube that makes it just as long as the standard carbine length tube. Also there is no "longer travel" in an A5 system, even with its standard buffer and spring setup.
