CLOSED Faxon 20" 65G Group Buy

[RNRoad]

Which gas block is the Horde using on this 20 inch Faxon build? I bought a JBO adjustable but am having second thoughts since the Faxon gas block is a three screw configuration.

Will these barrels come pre-dimpled?

BFT thanks for the hard work. Form sent via email. PayPal heading over tonight.

That's a good question. Curious about that too.

I have a spare jp adustable has block I'll be running.

I got a Faxon ultra low profile. It will be exposed on the build so I wanted it to match. It's pretty light and this is a light build, so... Anyhow, my unqualified opinion is that unless you need an adjustable for some known purpose pretty much any old will do.

Titanium Gas block from Primary Arms with a Aero melonited gas tube. They fit together very good, snug, and work!! BANG BANG!!

Barrels NOT pre-dimpled.

Awhile ago, I was convinced by an article by, oh, what's his name? — Robert Whitley — that a clamp-on style gas block generates more even force around the barrel and is thus "better." Maybe only 0.001% better — who knows? — but I use the Vltor clamp-ons.

Midway has an AR-Stoner clamp on gas block for $30.

I just sent a Paypal and email for the 20" barrel. I just bought a used SWFA 20X scope and need a Grendel to go with it.

I better never buy a bag of rollpins or I will be in trouble. Good to know. I have two 80% lowers I have to mill out next. I guess it is a constant struggle.

That's kind of what i gather with some of the builds I have done. The clamp on was more solid then the set screw gas block. I also had issues with some set screw types. I will always run a clamp on if I can.

Just got back from triggrcon, one of the more reputable vendors had a set screw gas block and I said I wanted clamp on he said they didn't seal as good as the set screw ones. I laughed and walked away. I won't buy any more of their products. The master of arms stuff looked AMAZING! has anyone tried one of their adjustable gas blocks. Those things were super compact, light weight, and sexy looking.
They are the same price as the slr ones on sale though. $150ish.

Faxon was also there I saw their new fluted Grendel barrels. I think I like the GB custom profile just a tad better. They said "the 12's and 20's should be done in a couple weeks. It wasn't Nathan but two other reps. The one was their marketing man. They were very honest about everything. I mentioned slow mo video of similar barrels with different profiles showing barrel whip for comparison he seemed to like that idea.

I'm kind of a nerd, I like to study such things even if the don't really impact real world functionality.

Ballistics advantage had a barrel with a profile that looked almost exactly like what these will be and they look decent. But they weren't melonited. I think BFT really hit a grand slam with this combo. Now I'm kinda glad he even went with 416 instead of 4150 now that I have a couple cheap beater sticks in 4150.

The whole industry seems to be going to 5R lately.

I think I'll head back again tomorrow I have me sig to win! And maybe bring home a fostech echo or a few bootleg BCG's or bobro sights. IDK. My shortlist is pretty short now. I wish odin was there was well as rifle dynamics was supposed to be there.
