Griffin Enhanced Gas Pocket BCG 47:00

47:00

The Griffin Enhanced Gas Pocket BCG is a product that was inspired by a desire to reduce right ear sound signature of the AR-15 platform when used with suppressors. This BCG is designed to improve any suppressed AR-15, with its benefits becoming more pronounced on longer gassed systems. This BCG is constructed of 17-4 stainless steel, a stronger material than the 8620 steel material that most BCGs are made of currently, to increase BCG lifespan. The main design feature is a proprietary gas pocket where gas is vented into on the left side of the receiver. This pocket captures escaping gas increasing dwell time and reducing sound signature at the shooter's right ear, a near-unsolvable problem inherent and well-known to suppressed AR-15 shooters. This gas pocket is capable of reducing sound signature at the shooter's ear by 10.5 dB on 18" barrel rifle gas platforms. Sound reduction is correlated to the length of the gas system, but even on an 11.5" barrel with a carbine-length gas system, users can expect to see a minimum of 3.5 dB sound reduction at the shooter's ear - even when used with "high-flow" printed silencers. Other notable design improvements include a .060" increase in cam pin travel length, which allows the bolt to remain locked for longer, further reducing escaping concussion blast traveling back down the barrel and out the ejection port. This bolt carrier is sold as a bundle with Griffin's M4 CAR +15% buffer spring and shortened buffer which allows increased travel of the BCG in conjunction with a shortened nickel-boron plated proprietary gas key, reducing recoil impulse and improving bolt lock reliability by allowing more time for the bolt catch to actuate. This BCG features a physical stop for the carrier key, protecting carrier key screws from shearing off, as well as a .980" anti-tilt diameter for reducing upper receiver and bolt lug wear introduced by bolt carrier tilt. Carbon scrapers are included for people who like the carbon and debris-removing feature set. Pressure-relief features are included to reduce the risk in the event of a case-head separation. 17-7 extractor and ejector springs are used for higher temperature resistance in the bolt. .030" radius at the left and right edges of the lugs, as well as .040" at the rear of the lugs enhances the safety factor even further.

"If you rewind all the way back there - we were just as sheltered as everybody else. As an American citizen prior to joining the military, I had this feeling that, once you completed military training, you'd feel like a different type of person; you'd be a solider. As a solider... you'd be completely unafraid and able to go out and interact with these types of things." - Austin Green Follow us on social media!

In this episode, Evan and Austin discuss the newest Gate-LOK™ 5.56 product from Griffin Armament: the M4SD-L™ Suppressor. Internal flow and balancing of optimized sound suppression is a fundamental study in silencer engineering, as that is the chief reason to use these items. The M4SD-L™ 5.56mm suppressor is the perfect combination of many beloved suppressor technologies that Griffin Armament is known for: GATE-LOK™ mounting, tubeless laser welding, ECO-FLOW™ baffle technology, and vented pressure reduction end caps. Each individual baffle in the M4SD-L™ has been tuned to provide superior sound reduction and incorporates Griffin’s patented ECO-FLOW™ technology that reduces back-pressure and increases flow. This makes the suppressor host firearm operating system more reliable and largely un-affected by the suppressor, providing cleaner breathing air to the operator’s face. Each baffle has been individually tuned and engineered for a specific purpose, unlike a classic stack design. This means that each baffle has an independent function to improve performance. This suppressor utilizes the GATE-LOK™ QD mounting system, one of the fastest on the market, allowing compatibility of attachment to milspec A2 NATO compensators as well as Griffin's proprietary performance rich GATE-LOK™ muzzle device options. M4SD-L™ silencers have no minimum barrel length restrictions or constraints for rifle calibers. While longer barrels may promote longer service life, there are no barrel length restrictions with this suppressor!

Due to the popularity of the Checkmate-QD legacy suppressor, the Checkmate-HD™ is a 5.7x28 pistol rated rimfire suppressor that utilizes Griffin's patented ECO-FLOW™ baffle technology, as well as a newly developed CARBON-GARD™ baffle technology - the subject of a pending patent. The Checkmate-HD™ suppressor is lightweight, affordable, and has market-leading sound performance. Additionally, Griffin's CARBON-GARD™ technology seals the entire baffle core with high temperature silicone o-rings, making this the most user-maintenance friendly rimfire suppressor on the market. After 2,000 rounds are fired, the inside diameter of the tube and outside diameter of the core are still spotlessly clean, allowing ease of disassembly without the use of specialized tools.
