Installed a DEM flat trigger in one of my Glock 17s and test fired it.

In war movies a 20rd mag on full auto seem to last longer than yours did.:wink:
There is merit in your words but inspection and handling what interests me does have value. There is always a chance to find a deal (normally from walking sellers) too. And I'm an addict!
Just pulled and measured the buffer spring: 12 5/8" long. Just measured a new spare rifle buffer spring: 12 3/8" long. Looked up rifle buffer spring specs and when to change them (change if below min length): 11 3/4" minimum and 13 1/2" maximum. So, spring appears in spec. The spring in that lower has been fired 9,513 rounds. http://www.davidtubb.com/ar15-bufferspring I do happen to have one of these Tubb flatwire springs. I found it too stiff for some of my 300 Blackout loads, so I set it aside. Empties were ejecting about 2 o'clock. I'll try the Tubb's spring tomorrow and see where the empties eject to. My M16 has always fired like it did today, rate-wise, if I remember correctly (and with an 11 1/2" upper too). Both "medium" strength reloads with 25.3gr WC846 and 55gr fmj and Wolf 55gr fmj ammo were used today. The particular 20" chrome lined 4140 steel bbl used today has had a total of 1084 rounds fired, mostly full auto with the bbl being cooled between mags using a fan so it never got super hot; throat still gages near to as new.
I just visited youtube and watched M16 videos. Sometimes they appeared to cycle just as fast as mine WHEN USING 20-30 RD MAGS. Sometimes when using higher capacity mags they seem slower. The mag used is an old 20rd Magpul I always take to the range trying to wear it out using .223 and 300 Blackout...it's had many thousands of rounds through it. I'll try a new 20rd mag too.
They may be firing blanks in "war movies". Anyone have a M16 GI BFA? I have some blanks that could be tested for rate of fire. Anyone have a timer than can do rate of fire? Might be kinda fun to test different ammo's and mags for their rate of fire.
Thanks for the concern and comments.
