Lage 5.56 upper question.

[StenAtopia]

Any of you ever install a 7.5” barrel in this upper platform? Does it beat the platform up? I know it’s a fireball but I am
Curious? What gas block did you use as well? Thanks in advance.

It definitely makes a fireball. This was with a standard gas block.

What parts did you use? Does it beat up the lower/upper more?

Richard has a video somewhere of him shooting a 7.5" barrel Max-11/15. It looks harsh.

Yeah seen that. It was mentioned to use a pigtail gas tube to help mitigate some of the gas issues?

Short pistol barrel works fine. I used a standard Odin Works gas block. I first used an adjustable gas block, but it split in half.

It is LOUD! I don’t think it had harsh recoil and it was controllable. The pressure blast at the muzzle is very annoying. You can feel it in your chest. I’m already half deaf so I didn’t shoot it much.

If you don’t mind going to .300 Blackout, it is a bit less “fire and brimstone” in the short barrels. If you reload, the price isn’t too different anymore since powder keeps going up.

It was a non-adjustable gas block. I only took it out in this configuration once but I don't recall it beating up the upper or lower.

Richard, You have great videos. I wish more of them made it to the website or Youtube. I won''t play on FB.

We will see what we can do about getting the videos posted on our website. YouTube pulled our MAX-41A Pulse Rifle video a while back and we need to have it be accessible again, not that we are going to sell any but it’s a cool video.

I think it was called "Hair by Lage" Good stuff.

I know you won't be making them, but I still dream about that Pulse Rifle build!

https://odysee.com/ is another video site. They allow embedding in websites. And allow guns. You can also store and share files on it

May be worth going with Vimeo or rumble rather than dealing with youtube. Odysee rocks for 2A and freedom of information.

The 5.56 pistol length barrels are tough. It really depends on who made it. Because the gas port is so much closer to the chamber, the gas pressure is much higher. So port size is critical. A difference of 0.001” or 0.002” will make it huge difference in the violence of function. It is so easy to be over gassed, which will beat on the bolt group. Don’t run more than a couple of mags as the gas is still burning and very hot. It is easy to melt the gas tube. As I recall I didn’t get through a complete Beta-C mag before the gas tube failed. In the picture above, a fraction of a second later, there would be fire coming out of the ports in the side of the carrier. I find the fireball at the muzzle to be so bright that even in bright sunlight, I find it hard to see the target once I start to fire shooting full auto. The word best describing the function would be “violent”. I have a couple of 7.5” uppers, but I hardly ever shoot them. As Richard said, they are very loud. Double hearing protection is recommended. They are a fun novelty, but nothing that I would want to dedicate a firearm to.

BTW, if you want an even bigger fireball, spin off the flash hider. There is a device called a flash enhancer. I don’t own one, but I am sure to wear gloves when I shoot a 7.5. The fireball burned the hair off my fingers.

Youtube is the worst

I have a DeGroat Flash ENHANCER on my M-16/ Ares 12.5" upper and you need to also double up on your sun glasses as well!
