Roadkill45 0 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Tore apart the S20 after a dissapointing range session, will post later. Took out the blind plug, here's the brain fart question. you screw the plug back in all the way, then back off until it clicks in right? is this position 1 and what type of round do you use in #1? also back off until you hit the next click in and that is 2 correct? and a gain, magnums or not? thanx i'm really stupid this morning. gotta go to work.

dinzag 31 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 My 410 & 20 are the opposite. When I crank them all the way in they almost go to #1, maybe 20 more degrees and they would click in. I then back out to #2. If I want #1 I go 180 more degrees. #1 magnum, slugs, 3" stuff #2 light stuff Look at the chamfer & look at the # on the plug face. #2 should line up with the chamfer...

IndyArms 10,186 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 What dinzag says... All ya need to do is LOOK at the plug. As it is oriented like it is sitting in the gas tube... which number allows MORE GAS into the gas tube? Whichever setting allows MORE GAS that is the setting for LIGHT LOADS Whichever setting allows LESS GAS That is the setting for MAGNUM LOADS That simple. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IndyArms 10,186 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Dude... TAKE THE PLUG OUT AND LOOK AT IT!!! If the angular portion will allow thew MOST GAS into the gun, with it oriented that way, see what number would be held in the plunger. Whichever number that is... ( lets say "2" for arguments sake, it may or may not be in your case!) THEN 2 will be the LIGHT LOAD setting! THEN... screw it all the way TIGHT... back it out to the FIRST CLICK... If your light load setting is there, meaning the NUMBER 2 is at the plunger... thats it... if its the OTHER number, meaning number "1"... then you are on the magnum setting... I dont know how to make it ANY easier, other than to have you come over, so I can show you with it in my hands... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dinzag 31 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 (edited) i need to get off the crack, i backed out the plug until the detent would not catch, then i screwed it in until it caught. what setting am i on? You must be on the "I dunno what I'm doing" setting! ...also, FYI, the gun's on the "blow hot gas out the threads" setting. Edited January 31, 2006 by dinzag Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It could be on one or two depending on how the threads engage the plug. The main thing to remember is to depress the detent pin and screw it in all thw way until it stops. Then back out until it locks in place. If this happens to be on one then that is your setting for magnum loads. (If you look at the back of the plug with it removed this should be the solid unbeveled side) if you want to shoot light loads you back off from fully seated to wherever the 2 locks in the first time. On some of mine if I tighten the plug all the way down it is within a click of half a click of one of the postions. This is close enough to work on that position due to the large size of the bevel. On my factory laser sight which has notches all the way around the plug, instead of just 2 at opposite postions, I can be a click or so off from center and it still works. Look at the holes in the top of the barrel inside the gas block. As long as they are all uncovered you are getting full gas power. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roadkill45 0 Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Well get a pic up already!!! I'm actually waiting until my box comes with the kobra site before i post any pics, then i beleive the S20 will be complete (yeah right), my efforts and money then will go for an S12, unless this L1A1 comes home with me first. I just got a Mosin and an SKS on a trade so I gotta go fire them up this weekend, hopefully i'll have pics up by Friday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
