Very vice. I have a 10.5 but wish I had 11.5; would like the extra velocity.

Dude....lolI snapped an indexing pin using a reaction rod. Different application though
Were you at 80+ ft/lb of torque? Haha
Someone I know did that, didn't start low and work up, just skipped straight to 80, and snapped that pin immediately.

I think you have that completely backwards. You are more likely to snap the indexing pin using the reaction rod.
The reaction rod holds the barrel extension in place, the receiver wants to spin but the indexing pin won't allow it.
That is sweet. Would it run well with a suppressor?

I was removing a barrel nut from a PSA upper
I picked up a new pin from Apex, drilled out the old pin and was back in business.
I recently bought 2 used 16" barrels on Gunbroker-both in good shape but had the index pins sheared off...I had never fixed one before, but found it wasn't bad at all,... drilled em out and tapped new ones in. Good to know it is fixable.

Yes, it did run well suppressed. The short barrel kept the bullets from breaking the sound barrier. ( 147 grain subs)
But I prefer it to be short and compact. Took the can off and replaced it with a mini compensator.
With the brace collapsed. It’s only 19.6” long.
That sounds perfect SCARCQB

Are VFGs legal on rifles? I thought they were but my buddy swears to me they arnt. I scrolled through the last 10 pages of pics and there are only like 2 guns with vfgs. Thanks.
VFGs are legal on any rifle with a barrel of 16” or longer. They are also legal on any registered SBR and any other firearm that has an overall length of 26”.
But not legal on a pistol. AFG legal. VFG is not.
Per BATF

An AR pistol with an overall length of over 26” is no longer classified as a pistol . It is now just a “ firearm “ by classification. Therefore a vertical fore grip can be used without turning it into an “ AOW”( NFA- any other weapon)
There should be a batfe letter floating around the net that clarifies that.

That letter never made any sense to me.
