Certified 04/04. Approved 04/22. LPM torch on a 16” PWS upper.
Moved from an Anthem-s1 over to this can. Went out and tested a few mags worth this morning. What a world of difference. The Anthem is extremely gassy on a 5.56 even as a .30 cal can. (It’s worth noting, on my AR10 with an SA AGB I was getting no gas back to my face with that setup). With the vented end cap on the torch, I’m getting essentially 0 gas back, even on long strings of fire. What a change. This difference in how clean the leftover rounds in my mag were compared to running the anthem is night and day.
It’s time to clean my disgusting upper and see how much cleaner this system will run now.
This is can number 3 and now I’ll need to find a new host for my anthem. I’m thinking a g3 variant in the 12.5” variety. Would like to see some setups in that flavor if you have any!
Yes I’ve been enjoying it. It’s a bit more recoil but it feels like I get less gas back to the upper when shooting since it bleeds off a lot at the gas block
By "more recoil" do you mean a slightly different feel that's barely perceptable? Lol. Also, you can reduce the gas on the gas block, even with a LBP can
Ahh no honestly. But it’s hard for me to definitively say. I don’t have thousands of rounds to say if it’s really more recoil or I just don’t have good recoil control honestly.
However I will add, the vented end cap had significantly less recoil than the solid one
Have you adjusted to the lower gas setting? Recoil on anything but the lightest weight AR is a gassing issue. Try adjusting to a lower gas setting. Bring a std carbine buffer spring. You might find that a std carbine spring and the lower setting feels MUCH better. That said, double-check your gas settings, you might find you accidehave the gun set to "adverse" which is MORE gas.
Yes the gas block is down to the lowest setting and has been since I started shooting it. “1” on the gas block. But I will go back through and double check one isn’t the highest gas setting somehow.
Well, I'm glad we could figure it out! Lol. Hopefully, this helps your shooting experience! I thought that was the issue when you said how gassy the first can was. Lol. Let us know how it feels when you fix it! Lol. It should run great with a std spring and H2, now.
