Slightly overgassing allows your rifle to power through some grime, and cycle shitty underpowered ammunition. It's generally better to be slightly overgassed than undergassed, but the best way to do it is get an adjustable gas block and set it correctly.

I agree with your statements above. Any overgassing is just extra wear and tear on the parts. Over-gassing leads to increased wear on the gas-rings, causing them to have leakage faster, and to be inefficient.

Well the point of overgassing a rifle, at least supposedly, is that sometimes it might not get cleaned as often as it should and it's better to let it cycle through grime a bit and let the armourer deal with the parts wear than to have it stop working in the field. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but it makes a bit of sense.

So I've put together a little kit, using a lot of Aero Precision pieces due to the recommendation of one of you fine guys in the chat here. What do you think? I also have a stripped Aero lower I'm shipping separately to FFL dealer

Altogether I'm spending less than $600 not counting sights and attachments or if my stoner senses missed something in the build

@JackLAXXX you need a muzzle device and sights if some type. That's it. Once you get it together you can figure out how you want to setup a light and foregrip.

Anyone know around what the torque spec is for a buffer tube on a AR, and also for a compesator on a crush washer?
