Howdy,
I need someone that knows to tell me if Hakim 8mm gas systems can be closed past the 6 o'clock position to come close to or fully cutting off the gas pressure into the system.
I've been told they can be closed off to just allowing the spent cases to flop out. But a thorough schematic I've seen seems to show they have a ratcheting control that doesn't allow closing-off past the 6 o'clock position.
Does anyone know the answer to this one? Seems it would be the remedy for all the Hakim's finicky issues with high-pressure ammo, but I've never been able to get sure advice on the issue.
Thanks in advance to anyone who could help!
