Adams Arms piston kits

[Brandon-k]

Basically I need to do what is pictured below. There were talks of this becoming a production piece but there was a falling out with Spikes and AA I believe.



Anyone with some equipment want to help me?

Fortis will clear on a piston gun as well.

I've got a REV7 in front of me and it's not even close to fitting. The OP rod will clear, sure, but I don't want the block out in front of the rail. I want the whole thing underneath it. Like the video I posted.

I meant the Adams Arms piston gas block.

The Samson EX series is built to house those blocks. See my previous post.

I know. I have one of them on my 14.5 middy. The version I have isn't the railed block so I'd like to get my front sight further out and such a short gun. I also just want to do something different with this one. I've seen one guy that got a carbine length system to work with a Spikes BAR rail. He modified the op rod to make it work. In my case I have a pistol length rod so that's not possible. I'm thinking about modifying the barrel nut so that the sleeve and spring on the rod actually sit inside the barrel nut some. I'm going to have to get out the calipers and borrow a drill press...but I'm going to make it work dammit. Here's the video of it under a Spike's BAR rail.

Got my new barrel in last night. This one has rifling. Thank god.

Anyone ever find a set of handguards these gas blocks will fit under? I was looking at the spikes BAR rail but it seems like I need something big enough that also uses the USGI barrel nut.

I put one under a Fortis REV9 carbine cut.

Here's a pic of a 7.5.

Won't fit under anyone's rail without modification. I got mine to work but it took a bit of dremel'ing to both the rail and the gas block. I started with a Samson Evolution 11" on my 11.5" barrel.

I love the weight and balance of this 7.5"

Talked with Cody at Adams Arms and they are shipping out a replacement barrel today. He wants the musket barrel back so he can give his QC guys a little shit. Lol

Good to hear.

I blame Obama

[CJ]

I don't even see how a piece of blank stock gets machined, chrome lined, then cut into who knows how many barrels, turned down, barrel extension installed, shot peened and coated, and then boxed and shipped and no one notices it has no rifling.

[KBScobravert]

I haven't contacted them yet. I want to take it to the range and see how it shoots first. Going to document it with video and contact Adams Arms/Voodoo Innovations with my findings. It's pretty frustrating waiting for as long as we did, getting it broken up into 2 shipments, then getting a musket barrel.

How does your rifling look on your 7.5"? Can you see it plain as day?

Sorry to hear that. But give them a chance to make it right. Hell had you called them already you might be holding your new barrel. I don't think I would go through the trouble of all the installation/shooting just to learn what you already know.

I just got mine in and my 7.5" has normal plain as day rifling.
