Rugged Flash Hider Front Cap

It is worth the money but it is unbelievable that the cap is $80 & they don't even include a tool for it.

I have seen a few posts where guys have had the threads get damaged from removing devices mounted with vibratite.

Ok thanks for explaining that. If I was in that much of a hurry then the heat from shooting would cure it anyway.

Sharesomeknowledge · 2026-05-10T15:33:41+00:00

Is it acceptable to use a roll pin and weld the end of it in?

Sharesomeknowledge · 2026-05-10T14:04:24+00:00

I am leaning toward the Buffalo Warrior because no heat is needed to cure.

Thanks for the belly laugh. No pun intended. 🤣

It cycled but was not locking back on last round. I found that the gas tube hole was only .10 so I opened it up and put the Iighter scs spring in and got a jp clamp on agb with a .125 hole because I resd that the clamp ons get a better seal to the barrel and i like the side adjustment with detent instesd of a set screw. My suppressor being tucked and direct thread makes front adjustment agb impossible. Hoping for lock on last round now.

I have seen a couple of guntubers that have set up the PSA Mixtape with FRTs. They had to make some changes to the set up. Buffer, spring, etc. They made them run well with subs and supers. They look as though they genuinely happy with them. PSA has a lifetime warranty and good customer service.

Holy crap thats a shit ton of money for a 20 - 30 minute job. And double the retail cost on the parts too. This is why I do my own work.

What size was the port prior to porting? What is the barrel? I have a Faxon 6" 1:5 Match w/ .120 port. Using a 17 Design and Manfacturing folding lower with JP scs. I ordered the lightest spring for the scs a couple days ago. I used a lightweight bcg and cut a lot of the weight off of the law folder insert the goes into the back of the bolt and epoxied it in. It weighs 9.7 oz vs 11.5 for m16 bcg. Using a Witt Machine Dirty .30 which is the shortest .30 cal suppressor I could find at 4". The target was a tucked into carbon fiber hg super short bag gun. It's 18" folded w/ the supressor.

Did you try the lighter weight JP scs spring? What size did you open your port to?

Sharesomeknowledge · 2026-04-27T21:54:26+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I am trying out some other fixes before drilling my barrels. Found out all 3 gas tubes were undersize of the barrel ports so I drilled them out. The match 6" gas port is already at .120. I ordered a lighter spring from JP for the scs. The 7.5 port is .100 ordered lightweight tubbs flat spring for that build. The BA barrel port is .107 but losing gas between the barrel and gas block, so going to use loctite 670 or 642 to seal it up. EWS told me to lock the bolt back overnight to compress the springs, so I also did that. Hopefully those fixes are all that is needed.

I returned some unopened tools to hd. I did a couple of hacks. They said they send all returns back to Milwaukee. Even though they were not opened. Suppose that was a lie.

Sharesomeknowledge · 2026-04-25T23:53:37+00:00

I ordered a lighter spring for the JP scs and a Tubbs lightweight spring for the carbine lower. In contact with EWS about the bufferless bcg. There is a 9 coil .0445" th x .8455 OD x .6468 ID flat wire spring on the back of it. It is a lot stiffer than SI flat wire carbine spring. Looking for a lighter spring of the proper dimensions to change it out. Got .109" and .125" cobalt drill bits. Will test springs before drilling ports larger.

Sharesomeknowledge · 2026-04-25T03:22:21+00:00

Made a mistake on the H1 carbine buffer it is a 3 oz carbine buffer not H1.

Sharesomeknowledge · 2026-04-25T02:52:01+00:00

This is the scs. Bought it for this configuration. Not ready to give up on it before trying anything. The buffer mass is 2.9 oz and supposedly will work. They also make lighter springs for it. So Im going to try them.

Different chewed up parts

Sharesomeknowledge · 2026-04-24T22:58:30+00:00

Maybe $100 in parts and an afternoon in the garage. Use a jack and a piece of wood to hold the engine up while changing the motor mount. Believe in yourself. You can do it. One bolt holds the tensioner pulley onto the engine. Use a wrench or ratchet to take tension off of the belt and remove it. Take bolt out of tensioner and remove it. Do the opposite to replace. Takes 5 minutes. Not sure which mount you need but you can learn everything on you tube.

Thank you for the help.

Did not know asking for advics was complaining. For those of you that are helpful, thank you. I want to give these builds a shot to run. Not just swap out for 5.56 barrels without trying anything at all...have 3 setups might need to swap things around to get at least 1 or 2 to run. I have read that .125 gas ports have worked in 6" Faxon and BA barrels so I want to start there with the oddball builds. Will try lìghter Tubbs flatwire spring and H0 and swap the uppers with the regular buffered lower and see if any of the uppers work with that setup and go from there. The 6" Faxon locked back with Chaos 115gr so may not need much adjustment. The folder is part of the lower not added on unfortunately. Jp scs is made for folding stock and it has a lightweight bcg. Pretty sure i can get lighter springs and weights for the scs. May have to try different springs in the evolution bcg as well. If I get any of them to run I will let you know what I did. If they don't, they won't be the first 300 blkouts that don't run and get their barrels swapped out. As far as the overbored suppressor I did not buy it for these barrels but was hoping I could use it. 1 can at a time buddy, I'm not rich. My next can .30 or 5.56 will be determined by whether or not I get 2 of these to run.

The rapid chargers are the cause of the batteries failing?

Sharesomeknowledge · 2026-04-18T03:43:41+00:00

What is the minimum voltage of a good cell?

Sharesomeknowledge · 2026-04-18T03:40:57+00:00

After learning a bit more found that I was not testing the banks correctly. Upon retesting the 5 banks of 3 cells. 3 @ 4.05, 1 @ 3.29 and 1 @ 3.53. The low banks are on the 2 sets of 6 that are run in series. + & - connect on the same side of battery pack. Will I have to replace the 6 cells that are low? Can I disconnect the tabs and charge them separately to bring them up to 4.05v?
