NA heavy barrel uses same a5 agb?

I've been checking the headspace quite a bit since hitting 1K rounds and it's still safe to shoot but it's starting to lose headspace. I'm at 1.5K now and it closes about 1/3 of the way on a no-go gauge but it's not taking a field gauge yet.

I'm using an ME cheek riser and one of the "Russian recoil reducing pad for triangle stocks" from Russian Surplus.

Thanks for watching. I'm using an Arsenal USA AR-M1 flash hider and it works great for flash reduction, very comparable to a lot of other closed-tine flash hiders. One pretty major issue I run into with it though is that it induces quite a bit of dispersion into my groups at least on the two rifles I've used it on (this PSA AK and my SLR-104FR), usually increasing the group size by around 1.5 - 2 MOA which I think is due to it being a bit of a loose fit.

@@FeldmutzeI recently mounted a Rearden Cyka on my PSA 101 & like it so far. No tine ringing thankfully. As you’re a Plan B/Atlas user they’re worth looking at.

Nice, I've been considering the Rearden AK muzzle devices a bit so that's good to know. I've been on the fence about suppressing my AKs since each of them have potential issues that risk damaging the suppressor, but my SLR might work out and I have been wanting to try suppressing it for a while.

I've looked at it and if I do another AK build I might pick one up. I would prefer the folding version and one complaint I saw on reviews when I first started looking into it is that it doesn't lock in the folded position which I don't like, but it otherwise has a lot of good features I'd want to check out.

Zenitco stuff is still available for furniture.

Which vendors are selling Zenitco these days? All the old places I bought it from have issues making it difficult to purchase or import.

It'll be a while since I already own an A1 it's pretty low with how I'm prioritizing, but I will be picking one up at some point.

@ i keep going back and forth between the mr762 and the lmt l129. First world problems.

I could see that for the real AK-100 series. The PSA AK-100 clones are quite low quality though and pretty much just outwardly look like an AK without any of the real reliability or durability.

These are Historical Emporium riding gloves. I wouldn't really recommend them as they don't have very good quality, I just forgot I had them from years ago and I'm trying to use them up now lol

Looks like they're leather.

I'm liking both the MR556 and MR762 still and I'd absolutely buy them again if I had to choose. The MR762 LRP is grossly overpriced and you'd be much better off waiting for an MR762A4 especially with the improvements they made on the A4. They're already showing up on a few stores so I don't imagine it will be too long for the A4s to proliferate.

No, I've tried that and every other method I can think of and these stripper clips still consistently bind up every few rounds.

I'm liking it a lot. The mount is really sturdy and I've had no problems with it whatsoever.

@Feldmutze thanks for the feedback. I think I'll try one out

Glad the video helped! I don't have an RH25 thermal to confirm exactly but I do have an RL25 and everything lines up.

@@Feldmutze Awesome, I'm pretty sure they have they same body. Thanks again for having the exact info I was looking for!

Nope, my barrel is good, it's just bad ammo.

@Feldmutze damn, thanks for the research. I'll stay far away from that crap!

I don't have one to test so I'm not sure, but it should be fine. Most US surplus gear even from that era doesn't have issues with NIR remission.

I'm using a Bulgarian triangle stock with an ME cheek riser and one of the Russian bolt-on buttpads.

This is a semi-auto rifle.

Good points and I can see that being an issue especially for a more round head shape. At least as far as sizing, I haven't had an issue with any of my hats fitting and I wear a size 60 cm/23.6". I've seen those original Bergmütze and they seem to be a very good option just unfortunately never in my size, though I do wonder if they'd interfere with hearing protection since they're so much thicker. The lack of brim on the Bundeswehr version is definitely the biggest shortcoming. Recently I've started leaning more towards the M43 style of hat since that additional brim length helps a lot.

@@Feldmutze yeah the old ones have a brim large like a baseballhat! In the field I need a hat that stays on my head against wind and branches, and it should protect and camoflage most of the head. The modern Feldmütze is just bad at all of that for me. The only good thing about it is you can fold it and carry it in your pocket. It only works in conjunction with a headset, so it stays on. Due to duty regulations to wear it I tried various sizes and brands, it just gets worse after 60cm, cause with size the depth of the hat stays the same as a small cap.

@@Feldmutze if the old style touches your ears it won't work ear protection, it's just not build for that. It is as the name says, a cap made for mountaineering. It probably got adapted for field use cause it is very functional in the weather but still compact to not interfere with slings, googles and shooting. Different age, no Peltors yet.

I hadn't looked much into them before but I wouldn't mind trying them. I'm not sure if that's one I can get here in the US unfortunately though.

@@Feldmutze Well, I cannot get NA regulated gas block here in the EU, so we can have a deal if you're interested.

This is an ME cheek riser I picked up from AK Guys.

@Feldmutze thank you for that information keep up the good work

I've had really good experiences with Nefarious Arms barrels. I don't have personal experience with the BRN-4 barrels but given that they're button rifled compared to CHF you can expect better durability from both the Nefarious Arms and Haus barrels. On the recent Nefarious Arms 14.5" barrel I picked up, I'm able to shoot sub-MOA groups so it's a really well made barrel. I haven't tried Haus barrels so I can't say how well those shoot. I did a build overview on my MR556 here th-cam.com/video/jRZt7I25hho/w-d-xo.html and an in-depth precision test on my 16.5" Nefarious Arms barrel a while back here th-cam.com/video/WjdjA1k1PfI/w-d-xo.html I can't link directly to sites to purchase the barrels due to TH-cam but you can get Nefarious Arms barrels either by contacting Beth @ Nefarious Arms . com or HK Parts net currently has the A3-spec barrels in stock, and they've had the A5-spec versions available in the past too. Haus should have some more 11" barrels back in stock directly on their site relatively soon too, they put out batches pretty frequently.

Thanks for the suggestion. If I can find one for a good price I'll keep it mind for the future but I'm not too interested in picking one up currently.

I browse it frequently to keep up with product releases and news but no I don't have an account there.

Oh cool, thanks for mentioning that. I will check those triggers out.

@@Feldmutze Can absolutely recommend. The Core trigger might be more your speed, but you can opt for curved triggers in all three models.

Seems like a good choice, I do think this Axle trigger is quite a bit better than the SLT-1 personally, and thanks! I've used similar injections before on occasion but this one turned out pretty well imo.

That is a Modtac U-RAC.

@@Feldmutze Was this the same one that we were talking s*** about a little bit ago and telling you about my dead air attachment and finally finding plenty? Sorry to go off your question bro... but now I'm kinda asking the same question.

I think that was the Rearden Icarus blast diffuser from a few weeks ago. That blast diffuser only fits on Plan B muzzle devices but the Modtac U-RAC is a rail-mounted shroud and is compatible with any suppressor.

@@Feldmutze Think so too. Have to look it up again. Also... we're still stealing this guys question. Aplogize again bro. Does that modtac work on 308's?

It'll depend on the exact .308 due to the rail height. My MR762 has a taller rail height so it causes the Modtac to collide with the suppressor, but if you have a .308 with an AR-15 rail height like an SFAR then it will work. Your best option is to measure your .308's distance from the barrel to the 12 o'clock rail and see if it matches up with any of Modtac's available models.

Yes, this will fit on the BRN-4.
