Thank you for the link, Miale. I’ll look it over when I can download a program to open it

If I had two AR’s, I could demonstrate by connecting the gas tube of one to the other, observing whether it would cycle the bolt on the non fired gun, extracting, cocking, ejecting, and reloading. That would eliminate the affect of gas in the barrel.

I don’t even think it would eject.

Tony Rumore at Tromix did this almost ten years ago. I believed he called is the Siamese M16. Google “Tromix” and then email Tony to see about his experience.

Edited…just noticed that someone else mentioned this earlier in the thread.

@Miale

in modern terms , the op rod is attached to the bolt carrier in a long stroke piston design; in a short stroke design the op rod is not.

Best, shortest, answer.
