Yeah, it was over a LaRue gas block, but I went back to the standard FSB so I cut it out.

I'm waiting on a low-pro LaRue mount to get here tomorrow, this was just the only 30mm ring I had laying around. Instant gratificaton 
It's not actually that high, just the angle. I am slapping a Sage EBR stock on it, too, which put the stock in line with the bore instead of being dropped. The VLTOR rail system is not that great...the shape is just off for me.

Nothing like a 12 lb. CQB rifle.

And even if he misses the flame and concussion ought to be enough to clear the room. Might not need to bang the next room either.  Peregrino

The short-gun BBQ effect at work again.

You got that one right. A freind of mine (fellow SF) has one on a Sage Stock. Felt like handling an M-60. We shot some M-80, M-852, M-118 SB, and M-118 LR out of it to see if any single type of issued ammo would function the thing for at least one magazine of 20 without a failure to feed / eject. Short barrel and gas system problems go hand in hand.
The most impressive feature of it was its ability to light up a huge area from the muzzle flash, particularly with issued M-80 Ball. I got a huge kick out of this feature. Pretty loud as well. Chances are you won't hit a thing with it at 200 yards but you will burn to a crisp anyone within ten yards and will probably blow out the ear drums of folks to 25 yards.
I have an upper for my AR-10 that has an adjustable gas block. I have found that by tuning of the gas pressure you can not only ensure decent reliability but also accuracy. Reliability from tuning the gas system I can understand but dramatic changes in accuracy I can't. Going into battery consistently adds to accuracy but what I have witnessed has been so dramatic that it is more than just consistently going into battery.
I think this gas issue was probably the biggest problem for guys tuning the M-14 for consistent match grade precision. Very difficult to work on the gas system for a M-14 if you don't have the ability to manufacture gas pistons.

I shot a bunch of Hornady TAP 168gr through it yesterday. It will bang a 10in gong at 300m all day long, and I had ZERO problems with it's functioning. Filthy cheap ammo may tell another tale, however. It's part flamethrower even with TAP which is supposed to be low-flash according to Hornady. The concussion is also quite noticeable. I put plugs under my Peltors after one mag...
You can't put a FH on it, the brake is part of the gas block assy. on these, but I got this as a plinker, and maybe to shoot some 3 gun/tac rifle matches with. It's fun, if you can hold it up for more than 5 rounds at a time. Definitely not like the 9mm Colt AR I have, or an M4 for that matter.

Since you mentioned it...
Just a fun project I'm playing with.

Test fired last week, just dumpped a few different flavors of 7.62 out of it. No issues with any of it.
I'm waiting to do the SBR paperwork... hope to have it done by x-mas.
