Red Reef Trail, St. George UT, Scenic Waterfalls and Rock. 4k
Переглядів 23811 місяців тому
Red Reef Trail in St. George is a easy ~1.1 mile hike one way ~2.2 mile hike out and back. The entire trip is treated with stunning views and relaxing waterfalls. The last section is a bit precarious but there isn't much to see past it so if you decide not to make the climb you aren't missing out on that much. This trip was taken late January when the weather was about 50 degrees.

The box mag that came with my new A&K M249 is basically garbage and half my M4 mags don't reliably feed in it. The problem, the best I figure, is both slop in the mag well and the metal nipple doesn't push the magazine release far enough. This is my solution, let me know what you think.

    I had an aero precision Ar and depending on your rate of twist that will change it a lot. Mine liked 70 grain barnes and it would stack them. You don't have your upper set up right and more than likely shooting a lighter grain for that rate of twist.

However I’ve tried 2 different self defense loads and had failure to feed with the federal punch, and even worse, failure to eject (had to pry out the brass) almost every round. I bought this as a multi use gun that I could start carrying, but it seems I can’t use self defense loads. Frustrating. And I haven’t seen anything but positive reviews, so wanted to share

But you will be switching them out everytime if you keep using the same lower....just my 2 cents.....

    So (appears) different barrel lengths, and different gas system lengths? How is this a manufacturer comparison if the specs on both uppers, atleast length of barrels etc, aren't the same?

    • @robotmanx2009
      @robotmanx2009 2 роки тому

      they have the same barrel length. I would find it dubious to claim different gas tube lengths would affect accuracy that much. perhaps someone has already tested that. It would be difficult and expensive to do a thorough test. I mean if we are scrutinizing the methodology closely these rifles have different muzzle devices as well.

    • @brianfischer5609
      @brianfischer5609 Рік тому

      Barrel length will affect accuracy, but the gas system does not. This is only an accuracy test, so having different length gas systems is not going to make a difference.

      I agree the psa delivers a lot for the price, I've been eyeing their psak. However, having used/handled 5 different aero uppers, and 3 psa uppers, the fit and finish is in my experience, seems better with the aero. I can't speak to the accuracy, bc all of them except one had red dots. I doubt there would really be a difference since they were all 1/7 twist 16" nitride barrels. Plus shooting for accuracy with an ar platform is just more difficult for most people, myself included. I'm curious to know who actually makes the non FN chf barrels for PSA.

    • @brianfischer5609
      @brianfischer5609 Рік тому

      ​@@xCS68PSA makes all of their own barrels in house now. I think they even do their own nitride salt baths. But I agree with the fit and finish, my Aero has absolutely ZERO wobble. On the PSA, it's pretty hard to tell, but mine does have a TINY bit of wobble. Aero uses ballistic advantage barrels, and they are supposed to be sub-MOA guaranteed with match grade ammo. They are also QPQ (quench, polish, quench) which is supposed to have longer life than chrome-lined barrels (but inferior heat resistance, so if you're constantly smoking the barrel out, then chrome-lining will last longer)

    I'm assuming it would work but I have a few electric m4 drum mags and I like to run them on my 249 but they tend to be in the way and don't load well being at almost sideways. Would you think this would be strong enough to support a drum that holds 2000 rounds? My drums have a printed top to them as is so you can take the mag well part out and change it to a different platform, how hard would it be to print a curved extension that could be attached to the body of the drum.....think a m4 mag that makes a 90° curve.

    • @robotmanx2009
      @robotmanx2009 2 роки тому

      I think this would be strong enough. The weak point might be the mag release. It wouldn't be terribly hard to make an extension that makes a 90 degree curve but getting the bb's to reliably feed might be hard as they have to fit through a curved channel. Basically the same concept as this adapter.

Two issues, 1. pull trigger, pistol does not fire, hammer does not drop. Pull again does not fire, pull again and fires. Very intermittent. Removed slide and it looks like the trigger bar is glancing off of the sear, touches it but does not move it. 2. Second issue, much worse, sometimes when you pull the trigger the trigger bar moves the sear off of the hammer engagement slightly. Hammer does not drop, Pistol does not fire, but a light touch the trigger again and pistol fires. Appears to move the sear the rest of the way and drops the hammer firing the pistol. Very dangerous. Not sure what S&W will do, but we will see. If you buy one check it before you leave the store.
