Better way. start with gas knob fully to the leased amount of gas ... and then work your way the other way until it functions properly ... don't worry about using some ammo ...
It will, but it might be overgassed which will increase recoil (the carrier will slam against the back of the action). You're better off noting where your bulk ammo setting is and then use 5 or 6 of your hotter rounds to adjust the gas block. Keep note of both settings so you can return to them when you change ammo
Mind RDB fire when I let the boat go forward all by itself. Thank God I didn't hit anyone. Please let me know. Have you heard of this problem? How could I be sure if this won't happen again? I was nowhere near the trigger
I had that happen with both a rem 700 and a Benelli R1 , the primer was not even dented. I experinced it in the armed forces as well doing trials with 105 mm artillery, bofors 2 guys died that time. It was all due to primer issues. Both my rifles had gold match primers and they fired every second time i closed the bolt fast enough.
On my RFB, I have the regulator completely removed and it still feels over gassed with all kinds of factory ammo. Is there a way to remedy this? If the detent pin also broke as soon as I turned it the first time. I shoot un suppressed and everything from Tula or Wolf FMJ to higher end match and hunting loads. All factory ammo.
Even though you aren't using a suppressor, I might try contacting them about getting the suppressor piston, they say if it's still operating the action too violently when the regulator is screwed all the way out the suppressor piston will help. Hopefully they have a more thorough answer for you though.
I was going to get on here just to address this issue. Do you happen to have one of the pistons with gas rings? These are the same exact ones that go on an AR bolt. BLUF remove them. They aren't needed. I had the same exact issue where no matter how far out the adjustment knob was I couldn't get the rifle to short stroke. The gas keys do such a good job sealing gas that they keep enough gas in the system where it won't fail. After removing them you can adjust your rifle just like described in this video.
I literally do not know how you managed to make this so overly complicated. Every adjustable gas system gets adjusted the same way; you start with no gas going to the gun (so in this case the adjustment nut “open” all the way out), you then begin giving it more gas one click at a time until the gun will lock back with the rounds you will be using (or your potential lowest power round, like some Tula steel case), and then add two clicks for reliability. Yay, you’re done.
@@LabradorslobberIf you think his convoluted way describing, “turn it clockwise all the way open, then go back counterclockwise 12 clicks, and then another couple clicks if you want it softer, but once it doesn’t lock back turn it in a couple of clicks, and then for reliability another couple of clicks…” is simpler than just starting with the gas off(counterclockwise) and increasing the gas until your weakest ammo locks the bolt back on the mag, and then increasing the gas another click or two, then I guess you win.
Why do you even care ? Maybe there’s new gun owners wanting to learn different ways of doing things everyone has there own way of doing things instead of wasting your time to watch a video you already know how to do then hate on the guy just for trying to be helpful to people 🤷🏻♂️ makes no sense , and if this was a video from Glock or S&W I bet you’d be singing a different tune praising them ? Just saying don’t waste your time watching a video then criticizing someone for putting it in different way of doing things everyone has different ways of learning
@@LithoSpear476 Because I came to the video just to confirm the rotation direction as I didn’t have my manual in front of me, but stayed because I was baffled by how convoluted he made the actual adjustment directions. I care because this isn’t good instruction. It would be like watching a teacher teach your kid to add 4+4 by saying, “Add 5+5 and then subtract 2, and that equals the answer to 4+4”.
