Sometimes its bad/good idea ordering parts to build something with leftovers you didn't need.
I ordered a 224 Valk upper and didn't need the bolt then I realize 224 Valk shares its rim with 10mm and I've been enjoying my G21 converted to 10MM. I've also enjoyed having a G21 and an AR45 blowback except for an out of battery experience. That really got me thinking about DI 'ing my large caliber carbines.
Green Mountain has some barrel blanks again so I grabbed a 40cal blank.
Now the gas system, needs to be short as possible, like up against the handguard short lol.
So no room for a stepped gas tube, really need a really high gas block.
Solution 1 , 0.936 block bushed and off-center bored (needs 0.181 off-center on a standard low pro gas block) 0.650 to 0.700 barrel diameter
Solution 2 , custom which is more than within my resources. In fact I could see my self doing a couple DI conversions. Will work on the 45acp, just needs more porting.
Hmmm.
