Taking a cue from the FAL, with the gas adjustment, nice!
First thing I thought when it finally got to the adjustable regulator. "Wait, THIS is what's so "REVOLUTIONARY!!!111"? The FAL has had that for over 50 years...."
@@SCAR16L it's not a revolutionary concept, it's a big step in flexibility for an already otherwise mostly flexible design. I think it's great to take what made other platforms great and integrate it into something great as well. Maybe one day we will have the ultimate perfect platform? What a time to be alive
@@michaelsorenson3887 Agreed, but look at the title of the video again. "Revolutionary upgrade!!!111" Um, how about 'No'.
@@SCAR16L agreed its over dramatic. But, with a design that has barely got better since the 60s, it's slightly revolutionary at least lol
Went from cave man gas system to sophisticated gentleman gas system
@@michaelsorenson3887 LOL. That could be debated. Not by me, I like both piston and direct impingement, adjustable or not. The end user needs to know the attributes of both and decide what's right for them.
Or they could just do it the easy way and get both.
I might be an old bastard and it's nothing.....but I absolutely LOVE this animation. Is that the word for it?
The way this video is done is awesome and what it's intending to get through its perfectly clear without words. Very cool
this is great, no more trying to guess with "half turns" , I would buy this !
Pretty slick! For $250 its a bit to pricey for me but probably perfect for those running suprresed/non-suppresed on gas guns.
It's similarly priced to a piston driven system upgrade for an AR. I believe those are gas adjustable as well, but do add a bit more weight to the rifle.
It's interesting.
@@dannyo6699 Starting at $199 & you can remove some weight from your reciprocating mass in many cases so the weight evens out. No reason to go heavier than either CAR or H, depending on the magazines you prefer. Thanks for your interest 👍🏻
I agree. If this was like $50-75 I would buy one for all 15 of my ARs. I did however buy one for my AR10 and works great.
this looks really cool, we will see how it holds up to abuse though
Wondering if as it wears you could just click it one position forward for the same effect. That'd be interesting. Definitely need to see how the wear will manifest and at what rate relative to barrel and gas port. Another interesting consideration is if the same effect could prolong barrel life as the port erodes. Just restrict more flow by tightening it more. Assuming port erosion goes faster than the rifling ofc.
They sell rebuild kits for it if that tells you anything ! But the hot gasses are going to erode the needle / pin just like the gas port erodes in the barrel itself.
FAL has used this system for 30 years. It works.
Looks legit me a strong valve to me
@@jesusoftheapes Nothing at all like the FAL other than it is adjustable. The FAL doesn't do anything more than use a bezel to restrict tje gas port. No fiddly little pieces to wear out. A very robust system compared to this.
This also looks a lot like the POF and Strike Armament has block. Not a diss, options are great!
Edit: went to their website; their extended length adjustment ring is genius!
Hasn't the FAL had this for ages? Anyway, great to see it on the AR platform finally.
Yep
Was just going to say that. Still cool for the Ar I guess.
I'm gobsmacked they took so long.
Wonder if it’ll work with a suppressed high velocity rounds. Curious if it’ll still be over gassed.
@@RadDadisRad you mean like a canned Ar using just regular 556 ammo as opposed to subsonic? That's a good question. You'd think with such a variable gas block you'd be able to tune it enough to where it shouldn't be a problem but, this is the Ar. I'd like this for my 300 black out. Even though I don't really need it, runs like a champ the way it is, but if we only bought what we needed we wouldn't have all this cool shit. Lmao
An adjustable gas block. It's a nice one. I have adjustable gas blocks on all my precision Ar rifles. I'm a big fan of them.
The best ideas always seem to be the simplest ones. Although adjustable gas flow itself isn't anything new, this extremely easy and tool-free on the fly enduser adjustable is a great invention surprisingly late in the lifetime of the black rifle genre.
I own a number of them in various configurations, including my own build of the military AR10, M5, SR25, SASS, whatever it might be known as for the time being. This is a little spendy for us retired types, but fully justified if you have any knowledge or experience in developing a new item for public consumption.
I was hating it until the Extended adjuster/adjustment was part of it
Completely modular design 👍🏻
The Strike Industries collar adjustable gas block does the same thing with a very similar concept. However the area of adjustment is very small. This has a much larger "selector" and I think it is a great upgrade!
That's killer dude I got my mind squeezed. I wants one now.
Thanks Colin. Be sure to get signed up on the waiting list (www.riflespeed.com/RIFLESPEED-Gas-Controls_p_12.html) and you'll get a notification as soon as inventory is available.
For $100 this would be worth it. For $250, you can spend that extra money on a suppressor with very low back pressure like the OSS Helix can. Then the suppressor will work on multiple rifles/ pistols stretching that money further.
Tax stamp is 200. The helix is another 1200 on top of that..
@@cr0ss0ut - the Helix is $900 according to their website. Yes, another $200 for the tax stamp, but the can is transferable to multiple firearms and not limited to just one, unlike this gas block.
So again, it's not worth it for that cost when you have many other adjustable gas block options for under $100 and other suppressor options that are interchangeable between firearms unlike a gas block.
I understand the whole design cost being tied directly to the cost of this item, but careful sales analysis will often show if the demand is sufficient at a certain price point, the demand often increases at a lower price point. Demand is directly correlated to price.
Ti version is 1300. Yes can be moved to multiple platforms. But you often still need a properly tuned rifle. Gas block is for tuning your rifle. Not just adjustment for suppressor use. That said, oss helix isn't a simple end all to the gas problem. It mitigates issues compared to a traditional can but can run into gas issues.
@@abolishtheatfandrepealthen6014 I'm not speaking about service rifles here. For Competition rifles, at a certain point in component and ammo choice, you changing out the spring and buffer weight won't be enough unless you're using one of the JP set ups. Even then, an adjustable gas is more of a sure way to do it. Honestly it's two methods to solve the same problem.. this goes with tuning short barreled rifles in boutique calibers. At some point you're better off regulating the gas properly. As most kit guns won't have their gas ports drilled properly in the first place.
@@abolishtheatfandrepealthen6014 you're right this product is for a narrow market. This product isn't for production or a mass manufactured gun. This is for a one off build by an enthusiast. In which components are not made to a certain specification with compatibility in mind. Thus, properly weighted buffers and springs may not be available for a part combination a builder is looking to achieve. Thus an adjustable gas block such as this allowes you to tune the input your components so you can have it match the desired output.
Neat solution, love it, simple and useful. I wish you great success with this!!
Thanks!
I feel like this is an answer that nobody really asked for, to a problem few people have.
Right, nobody with suppressors is looking for an easy reliable way to adjust gas pressure.
true suppressors do not exist and people don't run mulitple cartridges on the same rifle and don't make more or less hot reloads that aside very few people have that problem
@@loicduchange4429 total nonsense what you've said. Absolute tripe.
"True suppressors don't exist"?????
People don't change cartridges????
@@asherdie is it a joke or did I drink to much for proper english ?
@@loicduchange4429 you lack knowledge to comment.
I've been using one of these for two years now. The pin still carbon locks. You'll still need a crude pry tool to adjust the ring, once that has happened. It's a bit of a drawback. But it's probably the most field-expedient option, since you don't need a specific wrench, or a long soak in a solvent tub.
I have had no other problems with it.
Cool. I generally don't do much gas adjustment a little over gassed seems to work just fine for reliability.
my only concern is how that spring deals with the heat and heat cycling over time
The Wave Spring used in Riflespeed Gas Controls features the same material specifications and construction as the springs used in suppressor mounts and mechanisms throughout the industry. In fact, some of the same people involved in those projects were involved in the development of Riflespeed Gas Controls. We've also validated the performance of the spring (and all components) through iterative and destructive testing over tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition in many popular cartridges. Riflespeed Gas Controls were developed through years of testing and refinement and are intended to provide rugged and reliable duty grade performance in hard use. The Wave Spring and all other components are maintainable at the user level. The modular design allows flexibility of application and long service life with simple maintenance. Thanks for your interest!
@@riflespeed thank you for the explanation!
@INVICTUS FARMER thank you for the insight, I wasn't sure if it was useful for cooking scrambled eggs. Im surprised that valve springs could reach the same temps as a gun thats done mag dumps while suppressed. Heat can definitely damage springs you coconut.
@@riflespeed I know its under the handgard. but maybe adding a brass set screw would help set some people's minds at ease. So that it can't move on them after adjustment.
Spring steel needs a considerable amount of heat before it loses tension. Just saying
"AR rifle Modularity design is so genius until now, It can be replaced with other parts easily unlike other modern rifle".
Because you can swap uppers on the fly with just any ol' fal?
The revolutionary upgrade is... something other rifles have had for 30 years BUT ON AN AR!!!
The FAL has had it for like 50 years now.
With this system, you could design a can that would automatically reduce the gas port as you threaded it to the muzzle device. That would be slick
It's an excellent and simple design.
Very user friendly.
That's an elegant solution.
I like the gas block. It allows for 2-point suppressor mount.
Revolutionary? So instead of going bang every thing to pull the trigger it...goes bang? Life-changing!
Good solution using a adapter to be used with a longer handguard for better protection of the gas block.
It great unless you need to adjust a hot rifle. But even that has a design fix, great design.
They should use a machined ceramic threaded dial instead of metal one. That might help with the heat some.
Check out the video VSO Gun Channel did. He dumps full-auto the touches the Control Knob with his bare hands.
now thats something the whole family can enjoy!
The Wildy pistol used a similar adjustment system.
It's cool, but there are already quality low profile gas blocks like LWRC's with 4 settings that can handle any ammo you throw at them.
Yea. Seems like a more complicated solution to something that we already have. Low pro adjustable gas blocks, that technically dont have to be pinned, and barrels dont need to be dimpled,, i know most guys swear by it, but my primary builds i shoot still 200 to 500 rds a week, and ive never had mine break loose. And its outside, on course, running, banging into trees, and dirt, an wood, and its stayed tight with just set skrews. Its a sweet design, and looks great, and of course guys will buy it, but not sure i will. Also curious of rough weight, and then the durability of that crush type washer on there being under tension if it will hold tension after a year or two of use.
People didn't know they needed it until it was offered. FAL has used this for years. Its a nice to have, especially for a race gun. Eventually, people will blame their lack of accuracy on "using wrong setting". Young men will crank it all the way up, so calibrate it to either 11 or 25....
Wow, I wish I would have thought of that.
Sooooooo an adjustable gas block….. man i wish they had these already for people to buy….
Absolutely interested in this product. However, like any new technology I am cautious to buy it not knowing its durability. Is Riflespeed willing to release the actual test documents to the public for scrutiny? While I trust that you did extensive testing, actually seeing the benchmarks set and the round counts would be reassuring.
That's totally understandable. We've conducted significant iterative and destructive testing to ensure the reliability and ruggedness of Riflespeed Gas Controls. Gas Controls have been engineered, developed and tested to exceed the service life of any component on your firearm. From the very beginning this has been developed to be a truly duty grade system. The wear item on the Gas Control is the Plunger. Service life on the Plunger ranges from 10,000-25,000 rounds, depending on firing schedule. When you wear out a barrel or bolt we suggest you replace the Plunger and Wave Spring as part of the refitting process. Riflespeed Gas Controls consist solely of rugged and simple parts made from specifically chosen materials that have been proven to provide reliability and durability through significant use. The benchmark set for durability is that the Gas Control is never the weak link. Your Gas Control is warrantied for life (see the website) against defects and repair and replacement parts are readily available. All maintenance of an installed Gas Control can be performed by the user with no tools. Thanks for your interest in Riflespeed!
@@riflespeed An excellent answer. I appreciate the round count expectations and clarity in maintenance level needed.
@@cohortcorbett2629 If you haven’t had the chance to review the downloads on the “Tech Documents” page at riflespeed.com I’d encourage you to check those out. 👍🏻
Oh boy. An adjustable gas system.
For all of you AR fans, I only have one thing to say to you.....
YOU clean it...
Here after seeing the segment on TGC news.
Looks like an awesome idea but in my own opinion that means absolutely nothing to anyone but me I don't like having the gas block exposed outside the barrel. One possible solution might be to make multiple lengths of the nut on the front that could be long enough to extend just past a longer handguard. But then you might run into durability issues with basically a fairly thin tube on a long leverage point. Just other possible design ideas. I think this system over all looks genius.
You described exactly what we offer. 😁 Come check out the website & you’ll see.
Be good for using the 22lr conversion kits,can close the gas off.
awesome answered all the questions i had!
very nice indeed
Fantastic idea! But I feel like it would be a very niche market
I've always wanted a numbered spinning end capper on my AR barrel to dial in whatever number I feel like for the spring ring setting for adjustments
My REPR came with this from the factory 6 years ago.
Soooo…20 year Army vet, have many weapons, AR-15, Mosin Nagant, three different .357 Mags, shotguns and more. But, I’m not an armament specialist. I can break them down, clean and reassemble them and am a darn fine shot. But I’m scratching my head over this. I don’t get what the big deal is.
Would really like this in .875, I'll check back for it...
Not a real improvement from the Superlative Arms adjustable gas block, since I can reach it with an extended allen wrench underneath a hand guard. This thing needs to be peeking out the front of the hand guard to adjust it. Nice, but, that kind of limits its application.
What setting is your gas block on?
@@riflespeed My gas block is running at opening number 19 (19 clicks). How do I know? Because that's where I set it. I'm sure your product is fine. My point was that its application is limited because fingers must have access to it in order to turn it.
Maybe a deeper dial option?
THAT is pretty cool.
Cool concept, may have to test it. A bit on the expensive side. What's the justification of the $100 premium over a titanium adjustable gas block aside from the knob?
Same opinion here.......
Because regular AGBs suck. They don't stand up to high firing schedules, the adjustment screw either gets carbon-locked, walks out, or gets eroded.
That's nice. But if your gas block is inside the fore end/hand guard, it's going to be a pain.
Strike Industries already has click adjust gas black with easy tooless adjustment
...hmmm....the animation seemed a bit off. Kinda got confused at the end when the adjustment collar was covered up...but before the gas tub portion of the block was over-exposed. Help me understand
Lol and what if you want a long handguard going all the way to the muzzle? You have to take it off every time to adjust?
Only need a 0.6” gap.
I wouldn't say "revolutionary" but it's pretty sweet.
It looks like a worse clone of the strike industries adjustable gas block.
Looks very well thought out. Question- how often does one need to adjust their gas block? I set mine once with Rockset and haven't touched it in ten years. I suppose if you're using a bunch of different powder charges and different weight bullets and need to adjust the gas flow, but most of us use pretty similar ammo. Am I missing something here?
Neil, for many of us who shoot for recreation, especially those with who don't shoot suppressed and stick with a couple favorite types of ammo, adjustments may be fairly infrequent. For those who shoot a variety of ammo, shoot in temperature extremes, shoot suppressed & unsuppressed, shoot high round counts, or who want to tune their carbine for the absolute minimum recoil and aiming disruption while still achieving perfect 100% reliability in all conditions, regardless of factors, a tunable gas system is a must. There is not one thing that can be done to make an AR shoot as softly and consistently as being able to tune your gas system to the conditions and configuration at hand. The ability to make adjustments between numbered and repeatable settings without tools, the ability to easily maintain and reconfigure your Gas Control, and the rugged design that is completely free of small springs, detents, screws, pins, etc. separate Riflespeed Gas Controls from any system on the market. I'd invite you to check out an article on the RIFLEBLOG that goes into the reasons why the ability to control your gas system is so important. www.riflespeed.com/The-Fallacy-of-the-Ideal-Gas-Port_b_4.html There are a few other articles on there you might enjoy as well. Thanks for your interest in Riflespeed!
reduce gas, keep it out of your eyes, with a suppressor and
increase gas with a forced reset trigger to get automatic TYPE fire.
@@Davidautofull Better yet get a XM556 Microgun...from someone you trust... :)-
@@ihavehadenough8772 i dont understand. i have a machine gun, isnt it better?
@@Davidautofull XM556 is a minigun with an adjustable RPM of between ~3000-6000 Rounds per minute. It is also belt fed. It really depends on what you define as better.
More rounds on tap, and triple to sextuple RPM? Yes
Actual practical usability? Not really
Fun Factor? Definitely yes lol
My JP adjustable gas block does the same thing for a fraction of the cost.
Ar is getting something the fn-fal had from day one
Nyet, F-marked front sight base is fine.
Similar concept to the FAL by the look, used those in the 70’s.
This fal technology will only work on a rifle if the handguard does not cover the adjustment knob, limiting your choices on forward handguard options. If you have a mid or rifle length gas system then you could probably deal with it. Carbine length gas systems severely limit you.
Carbine gas barrels can run up to a 12.5” handguard.
@@riflespeed Yes, but that is the maximum this gas system will allow, limiting all other longer options. In that case, why the prohibitive price tag? If the gas block is exposed, why couldn't any adjustable block work just the same for way less? It's basically an answer to a problem that doesn't exist.
I'm interested, but I have questions. What advantages does this offer over existing adjustable gas blocks besides tool-less adjustment? Given that there are so many varieties, that is. Does this solve/handle carbon locking? What are the materials it's constructed of and why were those materials chosen? I would imagine polymer would be capable of withstanding the heat demands and would reduce the issue of additional front weight, but I'm assuming that the knob is not polymer, given how bitch-like gun owners get when polymer is mentioned.
Hahaha.. I'll admit that I chuckled there. Tool-free adjustment is certainly a big deal. That said, Riflespeed Gas Controls offer many other advantages over previous systems. Our patented Plunger and Plunger Channel are completely smooth and are held to extreme tolerances to mitigate the ability of carbon to build up and cause parts to lock together. Their interface uses the same principle that keeps your AR's gas tube from needing to be cleaned even though it is exposed to carbon fouling every time you pull the trigger. We use materials ranging from high-grade carbon steel (like most AR barrels) to extremely high-grade (and expensive) stainless alloys that resist heat, abrasion, and corrosion. A Nitride finish offers a hardened surface and corrosion resistance. The completely modular nature of your Riflespeed Gas Control lets you configure, service, maintain, assemble and disassemble your system with ease and throughout the life of your carbine and beyond. The modular design also lets you set your Gas Control up exactly as needed. Some shooters want to cut off gas completely and some want to be sure that gas CAN'T be cut off completely. Either is possible by selecting the best Plunger size for your needs and it takes a few seconds to make the swap if your needs change. Thanks for your interest in Riflespeed!
Don't get me wrong having an adjustable gas block is great but it's not new or revolutionary in the slightest.
A dial adjuster for an AR is certainly different... and probably useful if you want an adjustable gas block.. neat product
Neat. But I don't like the idea of burning myself on the suppressor if I have to make changes. A lever or screw from the side is more in line of what I'm after.
Thanks for your interest, Jack. If the gun is running well enough to get that hot then there is no need for changes to the gas system. If changes need to be made it will be apparent well before the gun is too hot to touch.
Just like pressure gas impingement systems. Graphics looks like from Solidworks engineering design. CATIA can also do the same design capabilities.
Very cool
Piston is the only way to go. LWRC has the best, runners up are LMT and PWS, Adams Arms gets an honorable mention on my list. CHANGE MY MIND.
Depends on intended use. DI is more accurate and better for a match rifle. Piston is definitely better suppressed.
@@rustynut1967 DI mucks up the internals, and with or without suppression blows gas in your eyes. Have no issues felling pigs or deer at 3-400 yards with my PWS MKII16 308. And that’s with a 16” barrel. Accuracy for anything further and you probably need a bolt gun. Once I went piston I never went back. But what do I know. I’m just a turd watching UA-cam vids and reading the comments like the rest of ya. 🤷🏻♂️
Use same design and make a piston system, then I see a great reason behind dial.
Dial is great in theory, but unless you handguard is shorter than the gas hole, then it's not very applicable, in fact it creates issues when adjusting, because you can't reach it.
Most adjustable gas blocks are easy to adjust with a simple Allen wrench, even when handguards are on.
did you not see the extended knob to get past the longer handguard issue? It was at 1:38
They make 4 different knob lengths to extend it out past the handguard.
Maybe watch the rest of the video...😁
OMG, this will make any other rifle obsolete. All we need is to everyone buy this and start shooting anything that moves, children, old people ( especially old people) and of course bad guys. We all know who the bad guys are, am I right wink wink.
A complicated solution to a non-existent problem.
I LIKE THIS!! (Caps intended.)
kind of cool, but when would you actually use it? 🤔 maybe, different brands of ammo?
Click adjustable gas block. Revolutionary? No. Way cool yes. Worth $250, up to you.
I will stick with my Gas Piston conversion of my Colt AR, I don't have gasses coming into my action unlike the Gas tube system and I don't need gas rings on my bolt. My AR runs cleaner and cooler. runs like an AK !!!
Cool idea, but it doesn't look like it's designed to be rode hard and put away wet. Plus, how much is this gonna cost?
Oh wow, a gas block that has different settings and adjustments 🤯
What can we call it???
Adjustable.... Lol
Is this for any milspec upper receiver? As in will this system have a straight gas tube with no bend? If that’s the case there’s gonna be one on my 11.5 for certain. Have you guys thought about using some sort of compression sleeve nut and tapped hole in the gas block where the gas tube connects like the KAC sr15 gas block? That extra seal created by tightening a compression fitting into the gas block would make this even more bombproof. Brilliant idea, engineering and execution.
*THIS* is what we need in the AR aftermarket, pushing the envelope and continuing to improve upon the Almighty Stoner’s brilliance.
Thanks for your interest Stephen. The Gas Controls are compatible with any direct-gas AR. The RS7533 is made with the 11.5” carbine-gas setup in mind. The FDE upper on the Riflespeed website is an RS7533 11.5” upper. At the moment there is no plan for a compression-attachment for the gas tube, but anything is possible in the future.
Great design, too expensive. I'll stick with my hex wrench.
I like this. But instead of threads on the adjustment knobs. How about geared teeth between the ring that holds the adjustment pin and the adjusting knob. So its more secured and less likely that the threads binds from the inside?
I'm not seeing it.
The gas block on the AR is already wide open. Why would you want to choke it down?
I can see it in a piston driven recoil but why bother with a direct impingement?
Are they trying to clean up the direct impingement by using less gas?
Something like that would only really be useful on a combat rifle, but it looks too easily affected by barriers, bush, or gear on your chest rig/vest. And there are way to many settings. FN made their FAL with a similar number of settings, and it could sometimes be a problem. Their later designs were less adjustable, to the point that some of their modern belt feds and rifles are self-regulating with no external controls for the user to adjust gas setting without seeing an armorer.
You're applying retro tech to modern ARs.
Dude this is good for anyone with overgassed issues and helps suppressor and SBR\Pistol users which are alot of us. So this really helps
@@lyben8511 any adjustable gas block would help. And they wouldn't be so prone to accidental adjustments. There's a reason this kind of thing has fallen out of favor. If it was a good idea, it would have been implemented more widely a long time ago.
@@flyboymike111357 I mean its widely popular sooo idk what youre talking about and accidental adjustmets ??? You ever run this system or any other system that adjust like this ? Good adjustable gas blocks dont have "accidental adjustments"
@@flyboymike111357 Also plenty of high end guns that the pros use come with it. Such as LMT rifles, HK rifles and so on. Plus most plebs dont run SBRs and supressors but for those that do and know what theyre doing run adjustable gas blocks or adjustable BCGs or both. If not then they just run a charging handle that mitigates a little not much
Your comment on reduced number of settings on military rifles is a bit of a false equivalency. On a military rifle they know what ammo is being used, what suppressor is being used, buffer weight, bolt weight, etc. They don’t need a lot of settings because they know the application. On a civilian rifle any of those could be different. My competition setup with light weight carrier is going to run drastically different than a suppressed sbr. You need more settings on a civilian application product than a military one with a closer set of perimeters of use.
i like this but you guys need to partner with a large AR mfr if you want it to take off.
I would really like to have two of these but I just can't justify the obnoxious $200 price each. If these are being CNC manufactured I just don't see where the dollars are going unless you're contracting the parts manufacturing outsourced and just assembling them.
Does this restrict gas or bleed gas?
Make it a short stroke piston upgrade and I'll buy it.
are the riflespeed gas tubes required in conjunction with the Adj. gas blocks???
Straight gas tubes are required, but they don’t have to be ours. Several other manufacturers offer them. We offer seven sizes at riflespeed.com
I need one of these on my underwear after I eat too much of my Moms chili!
The only thing I could see wrong with it is Wookie hair and small pebbles getting stuck in there between the washer and retainer but other than that it is gangsta indeed
Same could be said for selector, disconnector, barrel extension, etc. right? Definitely a possible concern, but one that’s easily managed with routine upkeep. Thanks for your interest 👍🏻
Thank you for the information.
Hello. Can you tell me the size of the barrel and handguard?? Thank you an thank you for your timely response
How many rounds will it take to anneal that spring washer and it lose it's ability to adjust out?
Haven’t annealed one yet after more shooting than most do in a lifetime. 👍🏻
Cool and all, but how long until other gas journal sizes come out? Lots of AR's have ditched gov profile and .750 by now. (Not all, but enough to beg the question)
0.625” and 0.875” are coming
It Needs some type of locking mechanism on the adjustment ring to prevent it from moving.
It has detents to keep it in place. If the wave spring is properly designed this should work fine during recoil.
@@4jack8mama I very much doubt the detents would work on the way its set up. The detents are likely to cause issues because they are for the gas valve pistol.
Wave spring isn't going to do anything. It needs either a locking nut or a way to clamp the ring on to the threads.
@@guytech7310 only one way to find out!
Here's a BETTER idea... remove the gas impingement system, and replace it with a short stroke gas piston! The M-14-M-4 platform is work intensive to keep clean, and a gas piston is much more reliable!
It's also more expensive and less accurate. We're trying to polish a poor man's gun.
Hmm... interesting.
well that only took like 50 years! :)
What keeps the rod from sticking when the carbon builds up?????
The same principle that keeps your gas tube from filling with carbon keeps the Plunger from locking up through significant use. We do have a very simple cleaning/maintenance process outlined on the Tech Documents page at www.riflespeed.com. This will keep your Gas Control working for many thousands of rounds. Thanks for your interest!
I have a AR10 308 matted to an OSS suppressor. The rifles gas system will not cycle subsonic ammo. Will your product assist (provide enough gas flow) with this problem?
David, we do have customers who use Riflespeed Gas Controls on their 308s to cycle subsonic ammunition (There's a customer video of this here on UA-cam). That said, a Gas Control won't increase the gas going to your action. It sounds like you need to increase the size of your gas port or try different subsonic ammo. Atomic Ammunition sells "Cycling Subsonic" 308 ammo that works. Thanks for your interest in Riflespeed!
A lot of small little parts. Not sure I think that’s good
Ask FN how 6 gas positions worked on the fal and then you'll see why I only want 6
Not to be a killer of a good product or design but just look at Fortis flywheel gas blocks? Unless I'm missing something?
