Straight pull AR and extraction

[joe]

Yes they are real guns but in the UK the legislation means that only pretendy ARs are available to UK gun owners.

And some US states now ! Terrible

Aye the insidious creeping loss.

Hmm. I kinda like having that spring to keep the bolt closed on the explosion in front of my face but perhaps I'm uneducated. I guess the charging handle helps here, I don't know how locked an AR breech would be without its buffer.

You'd have to hand feed rounds too like the guy in the video but I guess it works!

The bolt rotates and locks, and in theory can't be fired unless it's locked. So it shouldn't be a problem to run without a buffer and buffer spring, in theory at least. I will feed from magazines, hand feed is something benchrest guys do.

You could try running without a buffer/buffer spring..but why? It would just make use much harder.
This is what is what it should be like to use....

And that's quite slow as well, surprising how quick you can become with a straight-pull with practice and still be fairly accurate.

Sigh. I love you guys.

Remember your acronyms here folks.

PARP gun
ARSP rifle.

To the OP.
With reference to your original question, extraction on my straight pull is slick.
It's a balancing act to get the chamber just right so that it passes proof while still rejecting a 'no go' gauge.
I'm running a pre-production Lantac upper (of the new model) at the moment. Depending where you are you're more than welcome to try it out
