Spectre Ballistics Light Practical Carbine - NR Receiver Set

One cool thing, at the very end of the video Adriel maintains cheek weld and eye on scope while rapidly going through an entire LAR-15 Crossmag (separated out as a regular LAR mag).

Will it say, "Made in the Republic of Alberta", on the side?
Can't wait to get these.

It says Made In Canada.

We are testing it out this weekend. As for plugging the gas system, we are trying something out. If it works we will publish the steps.

How did your gas system plug idea work out?

How did your gas system plug idea work out?

We tried 2 methods. Both work. The best method is to take your gas tube, remove it from the gas block, cut the tube down to 1.5" and then install it upside down. This plugs the gas port in the A frame gas block.

Method 2 is ultra lazy. Just cut the gas tube about 2" behind the gas block and crimp it.

We figured it's best to destroy the gas tube vs destroy the gas block.

 

[MiniMe]

What about just installing it backwards?
Is the hole in the gas block in the center? I don't recall.

Mini gas blocks can be installed backwards as per our tutorial.

In this case we are talking about a A-frame gas block, which can only be installed one way.

Will this work with .308 calibers?

No.

We are working on a 308. However we expect extraction issues.

 

[btabin]

Just an update for you guys, we test fired the rifle we built using parts from an M&P 15. It worked great. Zero extraction issues with steel case and brass case ammo. We are going to fire a few hundred more though it tomorrow.

My M&P 15 will be glad to hear this!

This was suggested by the member who goes by "Polkey" a while back. His idea seemed to be good and I am happy that it works. If the OIC goes away we can reconfigure our AR rifles with only the $20 for a new gas tube.

A little metal rod with a hole for the cross pin would close off the gas block, and would not require the sacrifice of a gas tube.

 

[TRDJer]

My plan was to turn a collar that slides over the gas block area with a set screw that would tighten down over the gas port.

That should work just fine. The set screw would plug the port.

If the OIC goes away we will get get gas tubes for really cheap for anyone who destroyed them.

We can probably make something for people that would do exactly this. But if you already use a micro gas block and a free float handguard, simply putting the block on backwards works great and recycles another part.

I would certainly be interested in something like this.

 

[TRDJer]

I dont have a lot of clearance between my handguard and adjustable block so that’s why I was thinking collar. You would just have to have a selection of diameters and I think people would go for it.

Here's a rifle built using parts from a M&P 15

nice look like mine lol

I'd pay extra for this model
