What issues? Failure to feed?
Yep that's it.. I was convinced it was a lubrication issue to start with but kept coming back to the mags
I've only used mine a handful of times, I will keep an eye out for any failure to feeds and report back my findings. Will throw a hundred or so of rounds down range on Sunday with these mags and see how I go.
That bugger moment when your new suppressor bushing ends up right in the small section of barrel

Lol Murphy strikes again!
Looks like you need to turn your 16"(I assume) into a 14.5"

I've been using a DPT can without the rear bushing at all for months, it doesn't really Do anything
Yeah i sorta wondered that. No different to a muzzle forward I guess?

Has anyone cut down their AR barrel before? Mines currently 16 thinking about cutting it to 14.5, one to help my floating bushing on the suppressor but also to hide it in and 11 inch rail.

You will still have 7" of dwell time + the can so do it

what if he's got a middy (he probably doesn't and still do it)
From posts he has put up we know he doesn't.
But good point for others reading.
So for them, and not the wonderfully pedantic (to me this is a compliment) gimp
Basically both a 20" and 14.5" mil spec ar have 7" of dwell time (barrel past the gas port) as this is what the so called experts feel is needed for a super reliable AR in the hands of your average solder(read as potential muppet) during heavy field use.
In the real world of the NZ ar user less is just fine, especially if the ar has a suppresser on as this ups the back pressure and arguably adds slightly to the dwell time-smarter people than me can argue about this, I just know from experience that
A 16" cut to 14.5" will work just fine, hell, cut it to 12.5 with a can and he will most likely be fine without even having to change gas port size.

Ok someone help me decide please, I'm torn between a 12.37 inch (314mm) keymod evolution or a 11 inch (280mm) non keymod evolution that comes with 3 rails. Thinking I'll shorten barrel 1.5 inches to land the bushing. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...d26d5e82b1.jpg

12.37
Keymod 12.37 is $60 more and comes with no rails. 11 inch standard comes with 3. Still 12.37?

Standard 12.37?
Just a case of what's in stock and what's not, it's just the toss up on keymod? Is it that much better?

So I used those Brownell mags on Sunday and FUCK ME did you curse them or WHAT!? I could only get 60 or so rounds down range before I couldn't be fucked dealing with all the failure to feeds / misfeeds.
Do NOT recommend those mags at all.
FYI, the new SileNZ carbine or subsonic suppressors will fit an M4 profile barrel and locate the rear bushing to contact just on the front edge of that step down on the barrel. Good hybrid alloy units, and provided you arent doint mag dumps they will give good service. (Like any alloy suppressor you have to take care not to over-cook them.) Available from GunsNZ.com or me. Gunsnz have them with bushings all ready to go for the stag arms AR barrels. Cheers.
I have a midlength that's cut to 12"....only has like 3 " of dwell time...good as. :)
Mines getting cut down today [emoji106] and new 11 inch rail fitted

556 cases to avoid,
FNM dated 04 cases with a green sealer around the primer off Belmont's are bergen primed.
So you are the 3rd or 4th (5th?) person to say they are crap.
So my 4 teflon coated 6/14 dated ones didnt work at all. Brownels sent me 4 non-tefloned mags dated 1/14 as a free replacement but I have not tested them yet. Anyway I just bought another two 5 rnd stag mags off gunsnz.com hopefully they will be as flawless (250+ rounds no issues) as the one that came with the gun. I need at least 1 more for WSRA but I am spent out for march having bought all the bits ($200) to reload 223!
recommended small rifle primers for the AR?
fed GM215M?

Has anyone else had issues with the A cat SPEAR mags? - Mine are a relatively tight fit in my aero precision lower and every two or three rounds they release themselves from the mag well. Don't have any issues with pmags or other metal mags
Yep Ive had to do a bit of surgery on two of my Spear mags so they'd fit. They were real tight so just sanded them back a bit till they went in and out easy. They have been pretty reliable other than that...
I haven't shoot as much i would like with my AR lately as it is just coming back from a little of a "surgery", however, i have 3 spear mags and they work pretty well on my StagArms. I hope i can shoot "a lot" from tomorrow onwards so then i can give a better feedback.
@Jexla what type of issues did you have?
Been wondering lately what part/parts of an AR are considered to be the firearm by NZ law? See a lot of 80% lowers in the states, and also there was a post the other day about breaking an AR down in order to legally store it easily while away from your normal storage. Whats the go here in NZ, O'wise ones?
Just a heads up to anyone with Samson rails or other gear, I was after a few small pieces for my rail and contacted them direct, a lady Cathleen replies and she's awesome. Sling point and bipod adapter shipping to me tomorrow :) I went with the 10inch and shortened to 14.5 barrel so the sonic fit (going back a few pages) http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...01fa3d7f69.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...a80a3e4933.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...7814bf993c.jpg

Tried 3 of the Brownells 5 round mags. None of them work.
Brownells sent me 4 non-teflon coated mags dated 1 / 14 for free, after the 1st 4 dated 6 /14 didnt work at all. I have not been able to get up to Kaitoke yet to try them, but I bought 2 more OEM stag mags gunsnz. I tried cutting own the spring on 1 but after 3 turns cut off is still mostly jammed and the follower just kept tilting and jamming that way.
Looking for recommendations on a front tube for an (AR rifle ie 18inch plus barrel) and sling mounts. So first off I'd like a front grip/rail/tube that is fairly light weight and suitable to shoot with a sling. I need the front lower of it to be able to attach a bipod to, or a quick detach sling mount so a short pic rail. I dont want a bulky and weighty quad rail. At the back I have a rifle tube so I need something that will clamp onto that to give my a quick detach sling mount point. Ive seen one in the US somewhere but I cant remember where, options in NZ?
Midwest Industries from digit. Best value by far and very nice.
+ 1
the midwest is very nice and digit has them at a fair price. I have the 10 inch Gen 2 SS. The slick sides are good as you can have as many or as few rails (my preference) as you like on it. Nice and light, finish is good and unlike some rails I tried, it isn't an absolute mare to install so that the top rails are in alignment (if you're planning on fitting it yourself).
What stock are you running? - If it's a compatible one, I have a QD sling mount sitting around that I bought by mistake that you can have for the cost of sending it
