This is purely out of educational curiosity. Obviously, the desert AR was a complete cluster-fuck, but it posed a learning opportunity.
For those of you who saw the Sons of Guns season finale, you know their AR build wasn’t working on full auto. According to them the issue was the CAR buffer. Replacing it with a hydraulic buffer appeared to solve the problem. Now I’m thinking, “how can the buffer possibly have been the problem?” It seemed like a disconnector/auto sear/selector issue. Can a buffer be the cause of the malfunctions they experienced on full auto or was there some behind-the-scenes magic going on?
As I understand it, the carrier trips the auto sear on its forward travel which releases the hammer. If bolt bounce occurs as the hammer is dropped, the bolt will be out of battery resulting in a misfire, correct?
The bolt carrier will be bouncing to the rear as the hammer meets it. They cancel forces and the hammer rides the carrier forward instead of affirmatively striking the firing pin.
This is actually a serious question? These guys are clown shoes when it comes to many things- AR’s being on of them. The silly statement made by Will “make an AR with the AK reliability” is completely Full Metal Retard.
A properly assembled, spec’d and lubed AR will run. The fact that they added some goofball hydraulic buffer is even more comical.
I would love to see what happens with that gun on a Vltor A5 or with an H3 buffer and Springco spring.
That show has already been proven to be a sham in all ways, shapes, and forms.
To view anything that you see on that show as anything other then total, idiotic bullshit is a personal failure.
It’s all staged, full of ass clowns, and set up to be “entertainment” for the bubba’s that we make fun of at gun shows. You know the ones, the fat retards claiming to be Army SEALS selling beef jerky and beanie babies in the corner boothes.
In other words, the show is fucking retarded as all are all the participants, producters, etc.
Fuck them and the image that they are giving the gun community with their retardation.
The one thing I will give them credit for is they know more about guns than “acting”. I feel like “the office” is more realistic than the desert AR episode.
I agree. I always think back to an episode where they flew to a guys airport hanger to show him some AR’s. The customer picks up the Sig 556 and the A.G. Guy says, “its heavy, so you know it’s reliable.”:lol:
That’s what Boris the Bullet Dodger says to Frankie Four Fingers in Snatch!
Boris “the bullet dodger”: [referring to the gun he sold Tommy] Heavy is good, heavy is reliable. If it doesn’t work … you can always hit them with it.
It looked like they had a red sprinco spring in the desert AR. I thought I saw the color coded red end when they were installing the hydro buffer. As for the show it’s tv what can anyone expect.
