@@timewave02012 this plus it the barrel harmonics should be affected less and only show how much the connection between the tube and the receiver changes accuracy. I honestly don't see how it would effect it much seeing as it floats in the upper though. I suspect the accuracy difference is coming from the action of the bolt not necessarily the gas system. I would like to see a test where the gas system is modified even in the conventional version so that it's single fire. Maybe there is an adjustable gas block that can block all gas?

By that definition, exactly zero delayed blowback semi-autos are free floated.

In the same way, being pedantic about DI/piston is silly given that true DI doesn't exist in the modern context.

Barrel harmonics effects point of impact mostly. As long as the whip is static vertically you're just dialing in your elevation. So yeah... this would be a problem at 800+ yards. (Edit: 800+ yds for me. I was speaking for myself... myself using .308WIN)

@v.german11b 2 года назад

It makes sense. Brownells' armorer / gunsmith basically states the same thing. The gas block connection to the BGC doesn't allow an AR 15 barrel to be completely free floating, thus, causing a slight disruption in the harmonic oscillations when firing. However, it is an improvement in accuracy over the "retro" barrel handguards.

@thatguyoverthere9634 3 года назад

I want to point out that since you had to cycle the gun each time when you removed the gas block does invalidate that fire string. When you manually load a round the point of impact will be different than when the gun cycles after being fired.

@ronaldyeater3322 3 года назад

So is it ok to put a pistol grip on forend of rail on ar15? Or will it damage gun?

@yellowdog762jb 3 года назад

Interesting test. My opinion is that the differences you saw were mostly from the lack of weight when you removed the gas block. And from the way the gun operated when you put it back on, I'd say the gas block was probably in a slightly different (and misaligned) position. Was the muzzle device removed in order to remove the gas block? If so, the barrel was torqued both removing and reinstalling the muzzle device. That's an additional change in test variables. If the muzzle device position was not duplicated that could be another variable. I think this is still a very interesting test that raises some good points. A Supurlative Arms gas block would let you shut off 100% of the gas and you would not have to worry about changing barrel harmonics between tests from rotating other brands of gas blocks or torqueing the barrel when removing and reinstalling the muzzle device. You might need to cut the gas tube to remove it so that you don't have to monkey with moving the gas block at all, otherwise you add variables. A properly installed gas tube usually slides into the action pretty easily. It SEEMS like it shouldn't be damping the barrel harmonics very much. My personal and amateur opinion is that your test identified other variables that likely made more of a difference than the fairly loose link of a gas tube between the gas block and the action. I'd also enjoy seeing you run a test with the gas shut off 100% but with the gas tube still installed. That might tell you if your groups were being affected by the action cycling. It might be a challenge in this day of scarce ammo, but shooting a round your rifle likes more would probably give better groups. Then the effects of any mechanical changes made between groups would be more apparent, and the differences would be easier to compare. When you're finally done with the mountain of editing that all of the above would entail; how about a video on what, if any, differences an ultra lightweight gas block makes in group size vs a heavier one? And of course you would need to test several barrels to see if the results were consistent! Lol!

@XrayMike17plus1 2 года назад

Word play. Point is - a properly designed handguard helps prevent accuracy deviation by flexing of the barrel by the support hand. The rest is just syntax.

@wsollers1 3 года назад

What you are learning is that weight anywhere on the barrel and it's accompanying inertia might change point of impact. Look at barrel tuners the FClass guys use. Hell put a heavy can on a 20" pencil barrel. Point of impact change from a constant like a gas block can be adjusted away with scope/sight adjustments. It's dynamic changes that can occur from temp/humidity/grip or support that makes it tough for a rifle to maintain consistent poi.

@snek9353 3 года назад

Well you're right, this was rather dubious science. What I think really would have been interesting is gas block open vs gas block closed. Grab something like the Strike Industries Collar Adjustable Gas Block that can shut off completely. That effectively closes the gas port removing the effects of pressure in the gas tube maybe effecting harmonics. Need to do this with a more accurate, longer barrel, and supersonic setup though. More accurate of course for better readings. Barrel harmonics are more pronounced in longer barrels and with higher pressure cartridges. Also more dwell(distance from gas port to muzzle) would increase the effect.

@MarkiusFox 3 года назад

Brownells does carry White Oak Armament 18" rifle length SPR profile barrels that are not drilled for a gas system in stock. Sadly, neither Brownells or White Oak have the drilled barrels in stock. Adding to that, there is the barrel harmonics changes (as you mentioned) in removing the gas block from the barrel versus with the gas block installed; there are products that claim to be able to "tune" that vibration out (limbsaver has/had one called the "deresonator"), and even the barrel profile thickness that comes into play. The most controlled, but also the most expensive, would be to have two completely identical uppers. Two of everything with the only changed variable being one with a gas port and one without.

@BigHarryBalzac Год назад

Cut an inch or so off the front end of a gas tube and install it upside down. With the gas port on top it should seal the hole in the front sight base just as well as when the gas tube is installed correctly. You could also try a pistol gas tube in a carbine, or a carbine gas tube in a rifle, if you don't want to cut one off, but the vibrations would introduce another variable.

@bmphil3400 3 года назад

On some bolt guns people put one pressure point forward of the action in order to change the harmonics of the barrel. I assume this gas block system would do the same thing. It's not so important that nothing touches the barrel as it is for everything to be repeatable and consistent.

It's true, it is effectively impossible to freefloat a gas-operated firearm. The best you can hope for is a partial freefloat that limits the contact points with the barrel as much as possible. The best "freefloat" handguards will screw directly into the barrel nut for a hard index, not just clamp. I have seen a lot of very expensive handguards that just clamp, and some very affordable (but no less quality) handguards that actually screw in (Radical Firearms MHR and FGS comes to mind).

This is very interesting. I once used a previously burnt out bbl ( or so I thought) from my service rifle , white oak 20inch 1-7 over 3500 rounds ( groups had opened up to over a minute of angle, from under a half min.) I was using the bbl to test another rifle configuration ( long story) using a hose clamp and shim to block of gas port. Everything worked as planned, however; I noticed the accuracy was back, ( using same lot, every component, of my loaded ammo ) more or less, solid half min. Hmmmm . Installed back on my service rifle with gas system, same ammunition, back to over one min. of angle. I blocked the gas system same as the other rifle and got similar results, back around a little over a half min. of angle . All testing preformed at 100yds bagged, 10 round groups, similar conditions. Repeated tests with both rifles, virtually identical results. Made me consider testing the bbl (plugged) manually operated, to see how much longer accuracy would last. Never did, it would make rapid fire strings interesting. Just an observation made by myself, an average high power rifleman, sharp shooter classification. Richard Frost Indiana.

@blakewinter1657 3 года назад

I mean, it seems like this is not just the case for the Stoner system, but also for pretty much any gas piston system, since it needs to have a gas block to siphon off gas from the barrel. So you cannot technically 'free float' the barrel. That said, it seems to me like free float rails are a pretty good idea if you're interested in trying to squeeze the most accuracy/consistency out of a carbine. Although they do have the downside of not being as strong as the more traditionally supported rails.

@Jacob-vc1lj Год назад

Very true. M lok rails are great for being light and versatile for mounting, but I’ve seen a ton of the cheaper ones bend, and even a good one like the bcm mcmr or the geissele rail can bend with hard use. Best “free float” rail imo is the ris2 from Daniel defense. It’s a quad so a little less versatile, it’s heavier, expensive (cause ya know, Daniel defense) and not quite as slim and round as the m loks, but you’d have to go at it with purpose and a hammer if you wanted to fuck it up. Perfect duty/hard use rail imo.

@blahorgaslisk7763 3 года назад

It's not quite as simple as saying that no gas block made it more accurate. In this test the rifle was semiautomatic in the first and third test, while it had to be cycled manually in the second. So there are several variables that was changed at the same time. Having to manually cycle the bolt between each shot might have counted for at least some of the change in group size. But with the very small sample size it could just a easily be a coincidence. A lot more groups would have to be shoot before it can be said that the "clean" barrel groups better. Logic says it should be slightly better without the gas block and gas tube. The question is if the difference is really that large as to be significant at a relatively short range. It should also be interesting to see tests done with a few different barrel weights attached to see if that changes the group size, and if so by how much. That the rifle didn't seem to perform really well with the ammunition used doesn't help matters.

Simple remove the gas tube loosen the gas block rotate it 90 degrees if the fore arm has space or just slide it forward a little so it is not aligned with the hole and tighten it back

*Chad meme* "Why yes, my AR isn't free floated. How could you tell?"

@That_Guy5575 3 года назад

As far as plugging the gas hole, why not just rotate the gas block a little? Especially if it’s a clamp design, should be able to get a decent seal on it. Plus you’d also have the weight there for sake of repeatability.

You’re reaching pretty hard for this one. It totally is free floating. Come back when you’re talking about a piston rifle. The dang tube ain’t secured to nothin. It’s actually free to move and vibrate with the barrel. Edit: I doubt most could even out shoot the difference. You couldn’t even pup off definitive results. Edit II: good deal at the end, get a sled, get a barrel that hasn’t been drilled yet and a barrel that has the block and tube with a shut off. I doubt you’ll see any meaningful difference unless you take it all the way.

Rolling the concept around. But no it’s not, that gas tube interacts with the carrier

i mean the definiton of freefloating and ar15 is all about the handguard lol. Its keeps u from flexing the barrel when u grab ur ar handguard in different places or rest the ar on stand. its massively stops the flex of the front end assembly. I can make my bcm fsb nonfreefloat ar15 flex with little force. i can grab my plastic handguard thats on my delta ring and completly shift the point of aim by pulling down on the handguard with little force. If i grab my freefloated ar15 the same way as my old nonfreefloat build......i see ZERO flex. no flex at all lol. u really are reaching with this. Show me a semiauto rifle with a "true" freefloat barrel system then. go on. maby im wrong lol. but majority of semiauto freefloat system act this way lol. Bro........companys like ruger, lwrc, literally state that there handguards are freefloated.......not the barrel. Lwrc says the handguards are freefloated.....not the barrel. Thats how the fucking system works bud. Pretty much all oem companys sell there handguards as freefloat handguards......no company ever said it would freefloat ur barrel. i even triple checked.

lol......its literally a freefloat "handguard" show me the company selling freefloat "barrels"
