OK. So it’s time to test and see of this integrally suppressed upper is over gassed. This is with the H2 buffer and it still kicks the brass forward.
Perhaps this was a factor in Gemtech not getting the SURG contract? Who knows. Above my pay grade. But I will add this.
Personally I don’t like fiddling with guns to make them work. It’s OK if they break and we need to fix them. But as a policy I think tinkering with guns is just another hurdle that gets in the way of being a good shooter. So given the option, I would have bought this upper from Gemtech as a complete rifle.
Now don’t get it twisted. In no way am I mad. But look at this video objectively. How many “gun guys” go through life fiddle-farting around with their guns pretending they are getting better at shooting. Or even lie to themselves about being able to shoot to begin with?
A lot.
Nothing done in this video made me a better shooter when completed. Which in my book sounds a lot like wasting time.
Sincerely,
Marky
