SOLGW – Origins
Thursday, July 30th, 2020SOLGW Gas Block Overview
Thursday, July 23rd, 2020This 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…
