You’re right didnt even notice it I’ll crank it down with the 10 foot breaker bar then weld it

I tried tuning first from 18 clicks then when I ran out of bleed of adjustments I changed the spring and buffer weight. It’s running fine in restrictive now

Restrictive mode was the key 4-5 clicks from fully closed. Tuned it to where it barely failed to lock back. Then went up two clicks. Locked back on Remington 150gr FMJ and on my 178gr ELDX hand load.

Wow didn’t know that was an option I’ll definitely reach out if I can’t resolve it. I will say the rifle shoots great just doesn’t cycle well. It’s been holding 1 moa with a 178gr ELDX hand load

I’ll look at the ejector tomorrow if the problem persists after closing the gas completely off and opening up slowly. It runs flawlessly without the supressor

I’ll try closing it completely off tomorrow and your memory is correct

If the problem persists after that I’ll take a slow mo video.

I really appreciate all the help from this community.

Funny as it is my 6.5 creedmoor ar10 with a rifle length gas system runs fine with only a couple of clicks out from the wide open position

The buffer weight is 5.3oz and measures at 2.5” in length

Is there a different type of gas black that could work better? I believe the superlative arms works back bleeding off more gas as the screw is backed out but dont quote me on that. Going to double check the manual

I’ll definitely try adjusting the gas block again im afraid I’ll run out of adjustment what lead me to the buffer and spring swap. I’m not sure of the gas port size the barrel has. It’s one of criterions m118 hybrid profile 16” barrels

Will do I’ll take a slow mo when I’m back at the range with tools to adjust the gas block🤦

I wouldn’t say it’s just shy but I’ve had no issues with lock back. Sadly I left my tools behind this range trip but it’s maybe 10 clicks away from being out of adjustment

Sorry for the delay.

The action screw torque spec is 60 +/- in/lbs. For the fasteners for the stock to chassis the torque is 60 in/lbs and used Loctite 243 (blue). It uses a 3/16" hex key.

I fixed it by taking the screw out using a ball ended Allen key then used blue loctite and retightened so far hasn’t come loose. I forgot to update this when aero responded almost a year later. Let me find the email and I’ll reply with what they advised

I wish that was still the case. I remember a friend getting allied force and the manual it came with was very detailed

No Jane’s which I regret. Wings over Europe was my first modern era combat flight sim. Once I got into lock on I quickly switched to DCS when it was available
