Larue Ultimate Upper Gas Block Question
#6
Vetman1 Wrote:The shells are kicked all the way to 4 or 5’ o’clock position. The rims have what looks like ejection marks on the cases. I am shooting factory loaded Hornady 123 grain SST.

I know that companies love to push propaganda, but would the adjustable gas block help reduce the recoil on this gun? My 10 year shoots one of the Grendel uppers and he only weighs 72 pounds.

Also, speaking with Larue they claim that the uppers are set up to run with their suppressors. They claim their suppressors let more gas out than other suppressors. Go figure.
Yes, LaRue engineered their own flow-through suppressor to minimize gas pressure accumulation in the action.

Even their 18" MLGS Grendel runs optimally when suppressed with the Tranquillo.

LaRue posted pics of the test instrumentation that was involved with the design for the Tranquillo, and back pressure accumulation was one of the main issues they were addressing with that can.
