I'm old...lol. And just bought my first Ar-15, an Apache Armaments upper and lower. Can't seem to find much online about it, or the company. What I did find tells me I paid waaay to much for the upper! Lol. Watching videos to lean all I can. I haven't even disassembled it to lube it up before I shoot it. My first 5.56, I have been shooting 7.62 for decades! Decided it was time to see what all the hype was for...

Another way to ensure you’ve got the hole of the gas block/gas port properly lined up - run a 15” length of 0.05” string trimmer line or fishing line through the gas tube from the receiver end, then look through the barrel with a light. You should see the end of the line in the barrel coming through the gas port hole. If not, you’ve done something wrong.

On the barrel with the undrilled port, that looks like one of those crappy Davidson Defense uppers. I've seen that compensator on many terrible uppers. If you're working with an undimpled barrel, remove the front set screw and put that hole over the gas port. You'll know how the block will sit against the shoulder when the gas port is centered.

I have a NBS 16" 5.56 NATO 1:7 Twist Black Nitride Mid-Length Barrel. it has a .750 gas block journal. It actually measures .749. I ordered an assembled .750 Low Profile Micro Gas Block And Mid Length Gas Tube. It actually measures .748, so it only slides up the barrel a couple of inches before stopping. Anybody else run into a situation like this, and if so how did you overcome it? some people i have talked to about it have said freeze the barrel and heat the gas block. Or would it just be easier to try another .750 gas block?

What determines the need to reduce gas pressure? Would simply swapping to a slightly heavier buffer do the same job?
@PXCharon
@PXCharon 3 жыл бұрын
Swapping buffers is a gross adjustment. Something you might do to make sure a rifle is cycling in the first place, without excess wear or unbearable recoil. Gas adjustments are fine tuning. Maybe for cold weather, altitude, higher or lower pressure ammo. And a thing to make the rifle behave exactly as you want after everything is installed.

You can use different spring rates and buffer weights. The adjustable gas block is a nice addition without a doubt…. But not 100% necessary.

Long story short the roll pin bent and split. Assume I moved the tube so wasn’t lined up. Anyone know the roll pin size because I need to buy some extras now.

Red Loctite??? Oh God no!!! Besides Red Loctite is only good up to 450 F, which is why you need to heat it up with a torch if removing the screw. Any rapid firing AR platform can reach that temp. If I NEVER intend to remove the gas block again, I "might" use Red, if there is any chance that I'm gonna need to remove the block I wouldn't use Red Loctite. As a side note, I've heard that you can use Brake Parts Cleaner to dissolve Red Loctite. Just spray it on and let is soak for about 45 mins. CRC was the brand that was mentioned. I haven't tested it myself, but there are KZfaq videos about it.
@iprodigy6723
@iprodigy6723 Жыл бұрын
Brake cleaner has a drying agent in it, it'll be dry in under a min. You would need brake cleaner in a bulk container for the liquid for soaking but brake cleaner will also strip finishes. I do agree with no on red, I'd use blue, I've used blue on bolts and screws that are near high heat auto parts and haven't had a bolt or screw back out.
