[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 711959, member: 15748"] This project is finally wrapped! After getting all the parts, making those which were specialty items and doing the assembly work, we finally got to test fire our new AR-10s. Since Steve had wanted these set up as 1,000 yard guns, we went with the smallest possible gas holes and adjusted from there. Initial size was .076", but our first trials resulted in some failures to pick up a round out of the magazine, and failures to lock open on an empty mag. This past weekend, we went up to the shop and reworked the holes to .082". Problem solved, and the guns are working fine now; locking open on an empty mag consistently and stripping rounds from a loaded mag properly. Since the normal gas hole diameter runs somewhere around .093", we knew these guns would be a bit lite in the gas volume department, but for this application, that's what we wanted. Have some pics to follow, detailing the work and the changes. [/QUOTE]
