11" barrel
Just got my 7.62 back yesterday, with new and improved shorter barrel. It's now 11" with a PWS .308 break on it. Ran it yesterday about 80 rounds or so of Golden Tiger, Wolf, and some white box russian stuff. No problems. Running it on gas setting 4 for now. I think 3 will work fine. I must note that as much as I like the PWS break, on this short of barrel it's as if someone is blowing a fan on you every time you pull the trigger. It's not really gassy, but it's noticeable. BUT, wow, that PWS is soooo effective. The gun literally does not move from point of aim. It's no different than shooting 5.56. So if you have the longer barrel, it might be worth looking into the PWS break.
I also got my "special" AR15 nearly completed. It's a Stag lefty upper, with Adams Arms piston kit and Samson C rail. Scot Samson sold me the piston kit and modified the fail then shipped it directly to Stag and they put it together. I then had my guy cut it to 10.5. It's got a PWS with bi-lock on it for the G5. Everything works right... for now. Put several rounds down range with it. We did have short strokes but a 4/1000 change in the gas port on the barrel fixed that. It was a 16" barrel so we weren't surprised it needed some adjustment. Ran it with suppressor on low setting and it's perfect. On high setting without the suppressor it's perfect too. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Waiting on my mags from Cproducts and the 7.62 will be complete. I still need a few things to complete the AR like ambi mag release and ambi charging handle. Then it will be perfect for me.
I also weighed the platforms on a digital scale.
-XCR 7.62 no mag: 9 lbs
-AR with G5 no mag: 9 lbs
-AR alone: 7.7 lbs
PWS on the 7.62
Some lefty action.
