Anyone purchase or shoot the 30-06 model? Thinking about getting a new hunting rifle and started looking with the Mossberg Patriots. Thanks in advance.
You could "tune" the AR-10 to work with subs but why would you? I'm theorizing you would have to ream the gas port or get a "special" barrel and adj. gas block to port a little more gas to the bolt. Maybe a different buffer and spring? There are ways to get any semi to run with a can and subs, but then that gun should not be used with other ammo. But you knew this already.A while back I bought 7.62x51 Subsonic 200 Grain FMJ Sellier Bellot rounds, thinking they would be great for the AR-10, now that I have a can for it. Then I read the fine print: due to the lower pressure to get the rounds sub-sonic, they won't cycle a semi auto rifle.
Has any Patriot [or MVP] owner here tried sub-sonic ammo? Maybe I can use the ammo I bought as an excuse to shop for a Patriot / MVP!!
One thing you can do is on either an AR-10 or an AR-15 is install an adjustable gas key which lets you fine tune the action without any modification to the gas port.A while back I bought 7.62x51 Subsonic 200 Grain FMJ Sellier Bellot rounds, thinking they would be great for the AR-10, now that I have a can for it.
