I've decided on the Wilson .458 SOCOM Tactical RECON SR 14.7" ...
...maybe later add their .300AAC BO upper, as it shoots all ammo un-suppressed.
Wilson tech, says adjustable gas block not needed, even to shoot
subsonic
un-suppressed?
I thought that a adjustable gas block was a must...was told by couple of other top Rifle makers, that's so?
Now i've read both...that the gas block must be
adjustable to allow in enough gas to cycle the bolt, but then dial it back for supersonic...
...vs., but now being told by some, not needed???
It even states it in Wilson Combat's FAQ Rifle section...?
At JP Rifles they tell me they put adjustable gas blocks on ALL the rifles, and the .300 would need it, and they use "pistol-length", regardless of barrel length for the .300Blackout.
There are others, like at Daniel Defense,
however saying it's all about the
Buffer tube & spring...
... which has gotten even more confusing, as the guy from Daniel Defense saying for the
low power subsonic heavybullet ammo, you need a
"lighter" tube & spring...but others saying, other written sources such a AAC, say a
H2 or H3 heavy buffer is the ticket, because you want to slow down the bolt carrier to allow more "time" for the gas intake?
Can anyone sort this out...?
I have a ton of subsonic and would like to shoot it when I get this Wilson upper...just not sure how to "
order" the upper?
Adjustable Gas block, which is an "option",
or "standard" for Wilson Combat, which is a non-adjustabe gas block for thier
.300AAC BO. guns & uppers.
Oops, sorry, I just hijacked my own thread...off topic, but did not want to start a whole new thread for an answer?
