You shoot factory ammo? How did that stoner barrel perform?

Looks good

[mikegideon]

I shot factory and 3 different hand loads. Flawless. Best I can tell, it's a Shaw barrel. If it is, I have Shaw barrels on all 5 of my AR's. I like 'em. The gas port is cocked a little, but it works fine. Don't know what's up with that.

And I am going to figure out a subsonic load for you carbine gas system guys. I can't have all the fun alone.

That's weird about the gas port, that seems to be the running complaint on the Stoner barrels.

I read up some. Reloader 7 might be the ticket. I hear the Remington factory subs run fine with carbine gas. I may grab a box or two. I have some RL-7

Thanks. It should be. Got right at $2k in it as it sits.

Mike, you finally made an AK in an AR platform. Love it!

I'm seriously considering getting a barrel for my upper or a dedicated upper for my AR.

^{NICE BUILD...... I tried to an economical build ... but went overboard on the Geissele handguard... O well I have the same barrel & trigger. vltor stock, magpul, and BCM furniture.}
