Dwell Time Podcast #81: Griffin Enhanced Gas Pocket BCG
In this episode of the Dwell Time podcast, Evan and Austin from Griffin Armament discuss the inspiration and development process behind Griffin’s new Enhanced Gas Pocket BCG.The Griffin Enhanced Gas Pocket BCG is a product that was inspired by a desire to reduce right ear sound signature of the AR-15 platform when used with suppressors. This BCG is designed to improve any suppressed AR-15, with its benefits becoming more pronounced on longer gassed systems.This BCG is constructed of 17-4 stainless steel, a stronger material than the 8620 steel material that most BCGs are made of currently, to increase BCG lifespan. The main design feature is a proprietary gas pocket where gas is vented into on the left side of the receiver. This pocket captures escaping gas increasing dwell time and reducing sound signature at the shooter’s right ear, a near-unsolvable problem inherent and well-known to suppressed AR-15 shooters. This gas pocket is capable of reducing sound signature at the shooter’s ear by 10.5 dB on 18″ barrel rifle gas platforms. Sound reduction is correlated to the length of the gas system, but even on an 11.5″ barrel with a carbine-length gas system, users can expect to see a minimum of 3.5 dB sound reduction at the shooter’s ear – even when used with “high-flow” printed silencers.Other notable design improvements include a .060″ increase in cam pin travel length, which allows the bolt to remain locked for longer, further reducing escaping concussion blast traveling back down the barrel and out the ejection port. This bolt carrier is sold as a bundle with Griffin’s M4 CAR +15% buffer spring and shortened buffer which allows increased travel of the BCG in conjunction with a shortened nickel-boron plated proprietary gas key, reducing recoil impulse and improving bolt lock reliability by allowing more time for the bolt catch to actuate. This BCG features a physical stop for the carrier key, protecting carrier key screws from shearing off, as well as a .980″ anti-tilt diameter for reducing upper receiver and bolt lug wear introduced by bolt carrier tilt. Carbon scrapers are included for people who like the carbon and debris-removing feature set. Pressure-relief features are included to reduce the risk in the event of a case-head separation. 17-7 extractor and ejector springs are used for higher temperature resistance in the bolt. .030″ radius at the left and right edges of the lugs, as well as .040″ at the rear of the lugs enhances the safety factor even further.
Getting Pulled Over With a Truck Full of Guns – Evan & JT | BRCC #283
The misery faced by ancient soldiers, the merits of vintage camo patterns, the difference between general shitbaggery and creative rebellion, why we need a third political party, and is Mitch Mcconnell ctl+alt-deleting himself? — this pod has everything. Two BRCC founders talk about the hidden culture war in America between miserable, humorless people and those who can take a joke and have a backbone, the time they got pulled over at gunpoint in a truck full of crossbows and guns, and Evan shows off what he says is the only possession he truly cares about.
Vortex Nation | p. 305 | .300 Win Mag vs .308 – Do You Need One or Both?
Will the .308 do everything you need? Do you need the raw horsepower of a .300 Win Mag to get the job done? Or do you need both? Mark Boardman and Ryan Muckenhirn chat through their gel-shooting results, extract, examine, measure, and not only weigh the projectiles themselves, but where each cartridge makes the most sense. As always, we want to hear your feedback! Let us know if there are any topics you’d like covered on the Vortex Nation™ podcast by asking us on any one of our social media platforms and using #VortexNationPodcast.
Task & Purpose | Why NATO Troops Switched to the HK416
The HK-416 rifle is quietly taking over the world as one of the most widely used primary weapon systems! This all started back In 2007 when Norway was the first country to widely adopt it for their conventional force, grabbing more than 60,000 rifles. Fast forward ten years and In 2016 France began swapping out their FAMAS for the when they placed just a massive Cosco size bulk order of 117,000 rifles. Now they were on a rolls because only A year later in 2017 the entire United States Marine corps switched to the HK416. They’ve since acquired 14,000 of these rifles to their front line combat roles. But you might not have heard about it because they made tiny adjustments to the weapon and renamed it to the M27 IAR, Norway put an N at the end of the name and France tossed an F to throw us all off. If it looks like a duck quacks like a duck and shoots like an HK416 then it’s probably an HK416.The rabbit hole gets even deeper as we continue to dig. By 2021 the German military made the call to switch to the HK416 by ordering 118,000 of the rifles. But they named it to the G95A1 but it’s basically the same exact weapon with some minor improvements and upgrades. That’s a grand total of at least 309,000 rifles ordered under one name or another. That’s not even including the dozen or so special forces units who run the weapon – which means it’s found in at least 30 different countries.
TFB Behind the Gun #145: The Proving Grounds 2024 Championship Post-Match Recap
On today’s episode of TFB’s Behind the Gun Podcast, we’re joined by a special guest from the U.S. Army: Colonel Julian T. Urquidez. As the Director of Operations for the United States Army Futures Command—a department dedicated to modernizing the Army’s tools— as a result, Colonel Urquidez is also actively interested in weapons development, implementation, and modernization which also fuels his passion for his projects in the civilian world. We first crossed paths at TriggrCon 2024, where he and the other owners of the now-defunct Trigger Empire introduced me to their “Kono Trigger.” In the wake of Trigger Empire’s closure, Colonel Urquidez intends to offer its former customers a new product: the Texas Triggers “Diablo” AK Forced Reset Trigger. Today, he takes us through the entire story—from how this journey started to his vision for the future of this exciting new venture. Col. Julian T. Urquidez – LinkedIn Col. Julian T.
