AR-15 Ejection Patterns

[Talyn]

Your AR-15 ejection pattern refers to the direction your rifle sends its spent casings. Depending on the direction your casings go, your rifle may need some adjustments to improve its performance and reliability. Here’s what you should know.

Be curious to see one of these charts for an HK rifle.
Would probably need yardage added to it.

I don't think its something to wonder about considering how an HK treats its' brass.

 

[KI4WTF]

It's hard to explain, I find ejection patterns of shooting lane buddies rifles to mimic campfire smoke. No matter where I stand I'm duckin' hot brass. Just sayin'

A thing of beauty!

That's good info about ejection patterns for diagnostic purposes. I'd only add don't be too anal about it.

Well, we are men, we obsess about minutiae.

We'll spend $200 to lighten the trigger pull by 1/2 lb.

I would disagree since over gassing adds more recoil, and wear & tear on the firearm which could eventually lead to a malfunction/parts failure, as well as with short-stroking which indicates the firearm is not functioning properly.

If one is OK with those possibilities in a self-defense situation then that's something to think about.

Perhaps we just disagree on the definition of anal

noun: anal-retentive; plural noun: anal-retentives
a person who is excessively orderly and fussy

I think the vast majority of off the shelf DI guns are slightly overgassed. I don't mind slightly overgassed.

Man i hate being overgassed.
It's really embarrassing in a crowd of people. You get run out of restaurants when it happens too.

I think my Saint Victor in 5.56mm is heavily over gassed when I use the H1 buffer. It fires the brass to the 1 to 2 o'clock direction. It did better when I switched out to the H2 to some degree.

I think most off the shelf ARs are over gassed. Does yours have an adjustable gas block ?

I think most DI AR's are overgassed out of the factory purposely to avoid them having malfunctions and a bad first experience on the user's end.

I thought it did as the marketing for the victor suggested it.

However no, this model has no adjustable gas block.

The .308 and .300BLK versions do for sure, but the 5.56 version did not come with it.
