we have all "fall"en for Sarah!

Sarah. How about a pumpkin painted with the BA logo?
14.5” 300blk modern series PLEASE
I want to see "Baby Face, Clint Hanson" and his side kick "Sarah So-Super-Excited" dress up as pilgrims for FALL!
And when you are a done with the BA spade logo pumpkin. Paint or carve a Hanson barrel series logo pumpkin. So many pumpkin ideas. AR15 pumpkin. The ideas are endless
Do a special run of 16" intermediate in any series
Wow! I didn't expect to hear my name! And yes, "y'all" is a real word, you hear it plenty down here in Texas. I guess my purposes are a little bit different for the intermediate length gas on a 16". I understand that, as far as recoil impulse goes, there is no appreciable difference between middy and intermediate. The reason why I am interested in an extended gas length is for the purpose of suppression. As I understand it, one of the best ways to reduce gas blowback during suppression is to delay the unlocking of the bolt from the barrel extension. Delaying this gives the suppressor more time to work out all the gasses, so that when the bolt unlocks, the pressure against the bolt face is reduced and thus the back pressure going back to the shooter's face is less, making suppressed shooting more enjoyable. One of the ways I know of to delay the bolt unlock is shortening the dwell time. While other fixes such as increased buffer weight, suppressed BCGS and adjustable gas blocks can change the "forces" part of the impulse, changing the gas length would more directly change the "time" part of the impulse.
You have a good thing going here with the Q&A, and the two personalities mesh well.
Thanks so much! We appreciate the encouragement 😊 -Sarah @BA
I have that exact set-up! (VLTOR and Suplerative)
Is your setup with a mid length? I'm trying to get ultra reliable with ability the to soften the impulse. Am I asking too much from a mid length?
I have this issue with carbine buffers, that (from most of what I've seen) they seem to be mostly for over gassed rifles. Having the ability to tune for a silencer would be nice with the bleed off gas block, but will it cycle reliably any ammo I feed it when shooting without a can. My brain says I'm asking too much but since you said you have this setup, what, if any issues have you seen? Have you shot atleast a few hundred rnds without incident in your system?
@@theneighborguy I actually haven't fired it yet...I am still building it. Honestly, I purchased the VLTOR buffer tube by accident not realizing at the time what it was. Once I read about it I decided to keep it (haven't bought the buffer yet). Since then I've been looking for information about how it performs and whether I not I should get the lightweight BCG I originally planned to get or a standard BCG. I've haven't found any straight answers, even VLTOR said it would be fine....likely going to use standard weight BCG. So now I am re-evaluating the set-up after this video. I do have the VG6 Epsilon and Clint is saying that with the VLTOR it may be taking too much out. I don't want to drop the VG6 so I may consider a carbine buffer setup...or use spacers in the VLTOR tube with a standard buffer (3/4" is all that is needed..Armaspec makes spacers). This may change once I actually fire my rifle.....it's been a slow build...have to save for each over-researched part!
@@theneighborguy Yes, it is a mid-length Hansen premium .223 Wylde....
@@MrScary67 most gas ports are oversized from the factory, to ensure reliable function of most common rounds available. Running a lo mass bcg with a a5 buffer will work if the gas port size isnt disclosed from the manufacturer, and most dont supply that information. But, a properly spec'd barrel should be the foundation upon which everything else is built on. If your gas port is too small, there could possibly be cyclical issues, if too large, extra carbon and faster wearing of parts. Fire that bad boy and watch the ejection pattern, 3-4 o'clock seems to be ideal
Hmm, thinking of putting a similar setup to the first guy. A lightweight build, 14.5 midlength pencil + pinned 2A T3 (50/50-type fh/brake), lightweight BCG + Superlative bleed-off gas block. A few days ago I ordered a Vltor A5 and went with the lightest A5 buffer I could, 4.6 oz., because I was already impressed with how mild the setup shot with just a carbine buffer. Never shot an A5-equipped gun, just been hearing too many good things to not try it out. I hope I'll see a difference with this build, if not, I've got others to finally test it out on.
Sarah - It's was still 94 degrees here in TN today, we're still in second summer so forgive me for not being all in on fall yet!
I completely understand, aside from some breeze and being a few degrees cooler, it still feels like summer here in Orlando. BUT! That's why the decoration is SO important, ya know? It really helps get me into the spirit and tide me over until the weather catches up! Ugh! Don't you just LOVE fall? I could just talk about it all day!!! 😊 -Sarah @BA
@@BallisticAdvantage There should be a series of videos where you and Clint build a Sarah rifle/pistol - probably with a 7.5" BA Hanson barrel to keep it short ;) and cerakote it in fall colors.
I really love these Q&A videos. Every time you post one, I'm grinning like a rat eating cheese. I have a question about chrome lining, and DOUBLE thickness CL for machine gun barrels. Is it worth looking into or I guess what's your opinion and the real pros and cons to it? In the link is where I read about it, and it's the 3rd paragraph down. Thanks and keep up the great work.

wjf213 also QPQ, and no chrome lining (more accurate?). What coating do you prefer Clint?
Hey there, thanks so much for the nice comment, we love to hear that! AND thanks so much for the question, be sure to keep watching and see if Clint answers 😊 -Sarah @BA
13.7 mid length?!?! I see some company's make them but government profile.. is there any advantage to govt profile? I think I would rather have your Hanson profile with a light weight barrel
Thoughts and opinions on Flat wire buffer springs such as those by tubs. Both for the AR15 & LR308?
Any thoughts on trying 350 legend or bigger bore Barrels
Thanks for answering my question, I appreciate and value your input. I should've put context on that question, but I what I was getting at was, a reliable operation with the ability to bleed any excess gas from hot loads and/or silencer. I wasn't sure if a bleed off gas block + A5 buffer would be siphoning off too much pressure for reliability; if the superalative bleed off block was unnecessary or just a bad combo altogether.
I'd prefer a flash suppressor MD, just trying to find that unicorn setup on a mild recoiling mid length.
Thanks again!
Love this video. You both are hilarious and I always look forward to the Thursday video!
7mm08 barrel?
Howdy Clint and Sara.
What effect does a brake/comp have on the gas pulse or dwell time compared to a bare muzzle or flash hider ?
HOWDY! 😊
Great video this week! I'm not really into the Fall décor either, however my wife is...so it'll be all "Fall'd" up in here in short order, I'm sure. I do however look forward to Fall. Not sure if y'all are into hunting much, but I always look forward to the fall season, because it aligns with hunting season. Normally a great time to be outdoors in nature, with the leaves changing etc... Here's my QUESTION: Which adjustable gas blocks do you prefer on your builds and why? I've used a number of different adjustable gas blocks, Superlative Arms, SLR, Seekins generic… on my builds. I like the Superlative arms and SLR the best. What's your favorite? Thanks!
Seeing as they sell the Superlative on their site, I'd think it's safe to say that's their favorite
Christian! Thanks for talking so much about fall, I really enjoyed reading it! I skimmed your question quickly- I will let Clint read that, but I read the fall bit several times... thanks again! -Sarah @BA 😏
@@BallisticAdvantage Thanks! Fall really is a beautiful time of the year to be outside. I'm a native Floridian(live in NC now), growing up in Northern Florida and even there you have some color changes.
QUESTION: What muzzle velocities can you expect out the the 12" and 16" .308 barrels that you carry considering a bullet that's around 147gr?
encase you dont get an answer I'm getting a little over 2600fps from 147fmj and 150 SST reloads loaded pretty warm out of a 16" Hanson
@@billsmith857 Thanks for the reply! I've been debating on doing a .308 build, and right I'm leaning towards 16". How is recoil (not that I expect it to be all that bad)?
@@JabariHunt after a bit of buffer wieght tuning and a single chamber muzzle brake , you could shoot it all day . before I tuned and ran a flash hider .....shoulder would be a little beat up after about 10 mags. The 308 has decent recoil but you can mitigate a lot of it
260 rem?
Leaf's are falling in Minnesota already it's going to be a early winter I think up here
That sounds lovely! Thanks so much for watching AND for commenting about FALL!!! 😎 -Sarah @BA
Fall in Louisiana = 2nd part of summer.......... LOL
brought you berries..... Forgot your marbles..... JJ LOL
This made me laugh 😊 Thanks for watching and commenting 😊 -Sarah @BA
Hey guys. Great show as usual. When do y'all think that the 16" modern series .308 will be back in stock? I have been looking forward to ordering one.
Can we get a tour of your manufacturing facilities? I will keep asking until I get my way, Clint, Sarah. I’m playing the long game, and I am patient.
Ok I’m not patient. Can we please get a tour of your manufacturing facilities?
DANGER NOODLE! I am going to sidestep your question and say once again how much I love your handle AND also, fall! Thanks for commenting AND for watching, we appreciate you 😊 -Sarah @BA
Ballistic Advantage thank you Sarah! But make it happen, OR I WILL CHANGE MY NAME.
Brussels Sprouts, I will change my name to Brussels Sprouts. Nobody likes Brussels Sprouts.
Probably a good thing you didn't bring pumpkins, everyone would want to shoot them 🎃💥🎃💥....💥💥💥💥
You and Alex V should be friends (see comment below)! 😉 -Sarah @BA
Hold on what a minute maybe I’m hearing this wrong. So you’re telling me that a muzzle device effects the pressure that goes back into the action?
Depends on the muzzle device. A suppressor is a muzzle device, and it certainly adds back pressure!
Jabari Hunt well a suppressor is obvious do to somewhat of a increased dwell time.
A muzzle brake will exhaust a larger amount of gas at the muzzle at the end the bullets dwell (from gas port to muzzle), reducing back pressure. With a heavier buffer system, it might vent off too much gas to allow the bolt to completely cycle. It reduces muzzle rise and felt recoil but in conjunction with adjustable gas blocks and/or a heavier buffer, it can induce a Failure to feed (FTF) if not tuned correctly leading to loss of reliability via under gassing. This can also happen from a misaligned gas block.
What caliber would you recommend for blowing up pumpkins?
Dear Alex, I am very sorry, but I have to "thumbs down" your comment. I hope you understand. Sincerely, Sarah at Ballistic Advantage
