Re: m1a suppressor blowback
I talked to John at smith enterprises yesterday, he told me that blowback was normal and that even with there can it was an issue. I assumed that if a rifle didn't eject that it was because the suppressor caused high pressures and the ejector wouldn't perform right, but he says that's not the case, he says it lowers the pressure and that there gas plug actually has a bigger port to make the action function. Smith also suggested the breech cover, I can tell you that when we installed my can my rifle went from ejecting the spent cases 90 degrees to the right, to ejecting them 20 degrees forward, and I know that the timing and position of the spent cases is directly related to how fast your action is operating, but im not sure of the specs as to where they land with a slow bolt as compared to where they will land with a bolt that is running too fast
