@Jon Iwanyszyn and backwards dummie.

@Jon Iwanyszyn Well I’ll be damned, that does make sense. Looks like I was the dummy 🤦‍♂️.

🤣 y’all are all 3 great

We’re glad to hear our video helped!

Hi Wilfredo, Thanks for the comment! Glad the video helped out.

Thank you for your kind words and welcome to our channel, Dave! We're glad we were able to help - if you ever need any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. Have a great day!

same problem here that why i found this video too. hows the recoil been after the adjustment?

Glad you liked it, thanks for the comment!

Hi Andy, Sounds like this could be a tuning issue Yea it’s a tuning issue. For example, the carrier isn’t going back far enough to cock the hammer. If the gas block is wide open and there still not enough power, you might need to go to a different buffer spring/buffer weight? Maybe try higher power ammo? Those are a couple of different ways to possibly troubleshoot this. If none of this works, go ahead and email "techsales@opticsplanet.com", and ask away. Thanks for the question & comment!

Hi gotdrift8, We had a new rifle on the range that day and the latch broke during filming. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks, I was thinking the same thing.

@@OpticsPlanet Did you review the charging handle and include that it broke?

Hi Jimmy, Thank you for your feedback! We're always looking to add new videos to our page and it may be a possibility in the future. If you have any questions in the meantime, please feel free to contact us!

@Jeffrey Dohnger ummmmmm idk about you, but all of my ARs do not do that, nor have I ever seen one do that. The bolt locks to the rear, but for some reason the charging handle moves backwards Everytime? Doesn't make a lot of sense

The charging handle sits on top of the bcg and when it is locked back the charging handle can move freely back and forth.

dp4k I saw one of the comments now that the gun’s charging handle broke

@@ember5935 I see what you mean now. I misunderstood your comment.

looool

Molon Labe I'd say yes, at least try it. although beat up brass is a straight of the ar &ak platforms.

Yeah, I would dial it back a little. What are the different rounds you are using and grain? The thing is with 300blk, it is tricky to get it at the right adjustment. So many factors :Barrel length, rounds, gas port, buffer spring, suppressed/or non.

+Captain Chaos It was a new handle/rifle and the latch broke during filming.

+Jesse Tischauser Ten four. Just curious. Not being mean or anything. How do you feel or have any experience with the adjustable gas key?

+Captain Chaos I've never tried one. I have so much time with adjustable gas blocks that I've been too lazy to learn the gas key thing.

I do not blame you there. If the gas key system works. It would be easier to use and install. I think.

Hi JJ, It would depend on the bullet weight and velocity of the ammunition. Our recommendation would be to contact the manufacturer. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us!

Thanks, I'll get a hold of them. It's a 300 Blackout, so ammo I tend to shoot are 147 grain supersonic and 208 grain subsonic (10.5" barrel, pistol length gas system)

I have a AR chambered in 6.5 Grendel and it seems to be over gassed not sure if my gas block is adjustable. Can anyone help?

@@boricuaarecibo9259 is it PSA? i have the exact same problem. is it denting your casings by hitting the brass deflector? the PSA kit is adjustable gas block

@@boricuaarecibo9259 run an odin works gas block, best solution. Your aim should be to get the lightest buffer weight

You can reduce felt recoil with a lighter buffer and and an adjustable gas block to tune it to reliably cycle the bolt back by reducing the gas. Other benefits are that you can tune your gun for different ammo choices. Tula ammo is very weak and sometimes will not lock the bolt back. Some more benefits are the ability to tune for running suppressors or if your gun is over-gassed. Oh and since he is running ammo without a suppressor or super weak ammo, he is going to have to open the gas almost all the way because most gas ports are set to run reliably without the need for a adjustable gas block. Some companies make the gas port a little bit larger to run all types of ammo like wolf or tula and with higher power rounds it cycles to fast adding wear. If you only shoot a couple mags a year, over gassed wont be a big deal. I prefer running tuning rifles using different buffer weights and running non adjustable gas blocks and running full power brass cased ammo. Usually I only run one particular round per gun. All of my guns are application specific. By using different buffer weights, I tune it to eject cases at the 3 o'clock position when it is about 60 degrees outside. That way in the winter it still cycles fine and ejects to the 4 o'clock and in the summer the 2:30. If I get a suppressor than I will swap to adjustable gas blocks.

Dude, you don’t get it. He tuned it so he had just enough gas to cycle the bolt.

Xaro Xhoan Daxos - they have different grades of lock tight for different purposes, including high temp applications. In some cases you'll need a torch to loosen the lock tight enough to back off a nut or screw

Greetings! Thanks for the comment. It will completely depend on the gas block and handguard and how the rifle is setup. Some handguards allow for tuning and some require removal of the handguard. The same goes for the gas block - some allow for tuning through the handguard and others require removal. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us!

how about seekins precision adjustable gas block. can I tune it even with the hanguard on? THank you for your reply.

Greetings! It will also depend on the handguard being used. The Seekins adjustable can be adjusted on the fly with two set screws that are accessed on the front and right hand side of the gas block. If your handguard has large enough openings, the gas block can be adjusted without removing the handguard - but it will be completely dependent on the handguard.

OpticsPlanet what about the gas block on the Ati Omni hybrid

Nazi fuck

+Davee david Hi Davee, there are many different models out there with different designs that allow you to set/adjust your gasblock. If you happened to know what make/brand you got, don't hesitate to mention it here in the comment section, or if you have specific questions contact us at: techsales@opticsplanet.com.

+OpticsPlanet hey thanks man .....I bought a seekins precision adjustable has block cost about $57 ...I saw your set screw placement and thought maybe I installed mine backwards but then I saw must be diff model of seekins

Davee david Hi Davee, yea I can see where this can get confusing. Some models have a flat front with no exit hole, making it a no-brainer on how to install them, whereas the seekins is open in the front.I guess the best way to remember the direction of install would be that only one side has an opening for setting the screw, and should always be to the right side of your barrel when looking down the sight of your rifle. IF, of course we are actually talking about the same gas block.

+OpticsPlanet yup it is to the right !!! your awesome thank you for your help

I'm pretty sure they changed it and its front now, if im not mistaken
