This is a critical, yet often overlooked, part of building a fighting a gun.
If you’re hemorrhaging gas between the block and journal you have a less efficient system…which means you’ll need more gas…or the rifle will be more sensitive to conditions that are less than ideal.
These are some of the details that make SOLGW a more robust system. Our tolerance specifications are written specifically for this.
“But they don’t actually make anything…”
Yes we do. We make very reliable rifles…
SOLGW seems to have enough integrity to state they don’t manufacture but that they do assemble great rifles from premium components- so I’m fine with that. Good on them!
