Thanks for fooling around with this so we don’t have to! Appreciate you sharing your experience!
Haha, the adjustable gas key just doesn’t want to work for me right now 😅
The adjustable gas block really did work very well on my other unit. It’s pretty fun when it works 👍
I rarely, if ever, sit through an entire rifle video. I even more rarely comment on videos.
However, you have good pacing, editing, and a great candid approach.
Thanks for reviewing this product and just running through it. Felt like I was actually on the range and not being given a sales pitch or history lesson.
Man that means a lot. Seriously, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully I can continue to put out more content like this for folks like you 🤙
Put a relia-bolt from sharps in it. It has angles cut into the lugs so while going into battery it will lock up easier
Now that’s a solid suggestion 🤔👌
@@CalebDowning ya brother enhancing “into battery” without the capability of spring tension kinda hard to do but that bolt is kinda costly buying it might as well get the whole BCG.
Maybe contact Tubb’s springs and give them dimensions have them make you custom flat wire springs for it and have them well over the length so you can cut and “tune” it to your desire. Not sure if they would but it might be cheaper than a whole BCG.
Also fun fact if you want to do the same but in reverse and want an easier unlocking of the bolt get Hydra-Fire USA Roller cam pin.
Don’t quote me on it but I think it is a 30% difference on ease of bolt unlocking.
@ROTT_LIFE ooo, I haven’t really thought about trying a roller style cam pin 🤔 Great idea 💡
I finally received mine last week. It only took 33 months. Unfortunately I have not been able to take it to the range yet. I do plan on trying it out in a few different calibers. Before finding it a forever home. 5.56, 7.62x39, 300 blackout, 50 Beowulf.
Speaking with the over the past few months.
They tell you for
Mid-Length/ Carbine/ Pistol/ Micro/ Suppressed weapons= an adjustable gas block is required. I assume to address cycling issues.
Nice 😎🤙
I still need to try it out on 7.62x39, that one has my attention. Let me know how it runs for you.
And yes, an adjustable gas block significantly helps 👌👌
They are a small cali based company with mass production but yeah 400 each and a 2 year wait to even attempt to put it in ur build is crazy but the concept and fact that fire pin and bolt are mil spec standard part interchange and fix is easy but a micro with gas adjustment is almost nonexistent and reliability makes me question my purchase but they will be a unique peice of history and future
Ya know you are on to something there. If EWS fizzles out then it will be pretty cool to have one of their units. Like you said, a unique piece of history.
It was worth the wait and trouble for me 🤷♂️
so i tallked to them the other day and they are coming out with the V2 and they said the wait time is currently 2 months and anyone who orders from sep on is going to get the v2. pretty cool guys they even got me a discount code while i was talking with them
Nice dude 😎🤙 It’d be cool to see what their V2 has that the original on doesn’t have.
@@MrAB5510 how can I contact them ? They dont respond emails or instagram sadly
Brother you might want to check the ft lbs on your barrel. the star chamber might be out of time with the bolt face
Hmm, perhaps 🤔
They need to make a forward assist upper receiver moving it closer to the bolt.
This looks very interesting and would open up a lot of possibilities for building/customizing without a bunch of proprietary parts.
However, after I read the comments here (with a lot of people saying 2+ year wait time on it) and with little to no contact either, I've changed my mind. It seems almost no one has one to review (or doesn't post their experience online if they do have one)... So I think I'll save my money for now and wait for this system to "mature"...and shipping times to get a LOT better before I spend $400+ on a bcg.
It did take me two years to get mine and their communications are dismal… but the product itself is pretty cool. Like you said, it opens up many possibilities.
Hopefully they get things worked out and start a steady line of production.
@@CalebDowning I hope their production (and communication) increases soon. If they are successful with this, this will be added competition to the market and that's almost always a good thing specially in our 2A community.
Subbed earned sir.
@D.K81 fully agree with you man. I appreciate your support! 🤙😎
My man your reloads are absolutely gorgeous
Well thank you sir 😎👊🏻
$400 for something that will make your gun unreliable and you can spend half that on a good bcg
Haha, I know right 😂
@@CalebDowning its a really good idea. I think the bcg needs to be heavier and the springs need to be stiffer..
Whoa. That's really great.
Ya buddy 🤙
I’m curious if using a piston system with an adjustable block would help or at least be a work around as wel
I heard of one company that made DI to Piston conversion kits for BCGs but I don’t think they are in business anymore. It would be an interesting concept to explore, lots of potential.
Ordered mine a year ago last week(May "22) and still haven't received it. Thanks for the reviews!
I waited two years for mine to show up. The wait is worth it but dang… it’s a long wait 😏
Update video? It seems they’re more regularly in stock now
I’ve been shooting the system off and on but and it’s seemed to break-in pretty well. I’ll try and do an official update on it soon.
Heck, i ordered one back in April, 2020 and was told mine would ship last year of November, and here we are a year later and now i can't get anyone to tell me where it is, i can see they seen my messages on Instagram but they still wont respond. It's quite frustrating considering it's almost 2024 now.
There’s no excuse I can think of for them to have that little communication. It’s a real product and it actually ships but for them to take this long and be sooo hard to get ahold of is inexcusable 😏🤦♂️
@CalebDowning I've sent multiple emails and multiple Instagram messages, even tried commenting on their most recent post, but the fact that I can see on Instagram that they've opened the messages and still didn't respond has had me fuming these past few days. I couldn't ask for a refund even if I wanted to at this point.
@Diddle1994z I understand that frustration man 😤
Does this use a proprietary bolt? Because I was wondering if you could swap in a 7.62x39 bolt etc.
The EWS takes milspec bolts, so you can put in a 7.62x39 bolt in it no problem 👍
how you been running this lately? no one has high round count review on it. would like to see more info on it
I’ve run it a little but not much lately. Primarily I’ve been working on the Foxtrot Mike products and let the EWS sit on the side.
I don’t have an actual round count(shameful I know) but it’s in the 100’s not up to the 1000’s yet. The unit definitely needs some breaking in and significantly benefits from an adjustable gas block.
Should you get one? Well it seems there is only this and the Law Tactical ARIC to choose from, and I would choose this over the ARIC.
I’ll try and get some more content pushed out on this.
@@CalebDowning thanks! Iv been looking g for a system I can use a picatinny end plate on my ar15. Looking at the aric but was curious if u could put an end plate on it and not use the law tactical folder.. have u tried ur aric in the configuration? Fm seems like they make good products but your stuck with their handguard
@nmhockey5 I believe someone was supposed to make a 1913 endplate for the ARIC but I’m not sure if that was actually produced.
I hear you on the handguard issue with FM Products. Perhaps other companies will get on board and make some 3rd party options.
@@CalebDowning i totally agree. iom surprised more companies havent done that already. could u possibly humor me when you have extra time lol? could u try running the aric with ur ews endplate on?
i actualy just found it. groud combat solutions makes one for the aric. it looks like the aric protrudes a little bit out of the reciever so a regualr end plate wont work
Yo Caleb, have you had a chance to try a POF Roller Cam Pin Upgrade Kit # 00393 yet?
I haven’t yet. One of those would be good to try out on this system though. It may help smooth things out 🤔
What state are you in that STILL has snow?
We’re in Alaska ☃️
Most of the snow had melted but there are still spots and then plenty in the mountains 🏔️
it doesn't like to chamber all the way because you are handling a VERY low mass bcg with weak ass springs.
You’re not wrong there…
Wish they would send me mine, or communicate with me at all
Keep trying to contact them on Instagram, that was the best way I could get in touch with them. It would be nice if they had a dedicated person on customer service though 😏
So this is a garbage system. Copy.
Not quite. It’s not 100% there so I wouldn’t put it in a “life dependent” situation. But it’s far from garbage. No firearm I have is 100% as far as never having an issue.
Hey dude don't learn people wrong things especially about guns
Dumpass
Right on man 😎👊🏻
Maybe one day these will be worth it but right now, none of these systems are worth it. There are guns that opwrate this way and function better. Buy one of those. Or just run the ar the way it was designed until they take the proper time to actually make them work correctly
Totally understand your perspective. I think a lot of companies are using their customers as guinea pigs. That’s ok if, when the product gets its bugs worked out, the customers can swap out their early gen models for updated models.
