@@justusbryant7366 No, you won't have to. It will work with the original ruger handgaurd or any other for that matter... You will need a new mid-length gas tube for the 16 inch, or if you have the 20 inch sfar you would need a rifle length gas tube for that one.

@@Steelrunner what kind of gas tube did you get?

What setting do you have it on?

@@justusbryant7366 I just used a CMC midlength gas tube. Same one as what's used for a regular ar-15... and as far a settings go I'm not really sure how many clicks there were i did not count... the Aero has I believe 15 settings so started with closing it all the way and then i turned 8 clicks open from the closed position, and put one bullet into the magazine and fired it and if the bolt did not lock back or expell the case i open the gas 1 more click and repeat the step of putting one bullet into the magazine and firing it. Repeat that until you get the bolt to lock back. Then once I got lock back I opened it up 2 more extra clicks (to guarantee it's getting enough gas) I may try clicking down one more and test if it will be good enough I'm not sure yet. But the 2 extra clicks from the minimum lock back setting have worked great.

@@justusbryant7366 I should have counted my clicks but forgot to, and its hard to explain how to make the adjustments through text but if it was hard to understand and If you've never set an adjustable gas block. Here is a video for the Aero Precision one specifically... watch this video and follow the procedure to get your rifle set properly. ruclips.net/video/5IHKxkBoFRE/видео.htmlsi=2QV2YEYFSuLgpo3P

@@m700vsl That's great, I've had mixed results although results lately have been better than in the past with the Black line. I put my rifle together with an Aero Precision M4E1 builder set, and a 20 inch Ballistic Advantage barrel.

Ah yea he's the one that supposedly hangs out around the Fisherville train trestle. He lures people onto the trestle in which a train comes and they have nowhere to go but either be hit by the train or jump a 100 feet to the rocks below... Yea I got something for him! 😂

@Steelrunner , yep! Awesome reply! I really love your channel ❤️! Love hearing you talking about your rifles and your experiences!

@@ninjadave1970 Thanks man I appreciate that! I haven't done a video in about a month it's been so dang hot outside, and work and whatnot... but I have more content coming very soon!

Not yet. I need to get one set up, it had'nt really crossed my mind too much because i figured my channel would need to grow more. But wow thank you for that. I can let you know as soon as I do get one set up though. That is really cool!

Thank you so much! Glad to have you! I have plans to do more testing and videos in the future, it's been so dang hot here lately and I've had other matters to attend to that I haven't been able to get out and do any videos in the last few weeks. But I'm getting ready to do more soon! Thank you for subscribing! 😁👍

That's great!... I want to get into handloading eventually. So much more potential can be brought out of whatever rifle you shoot.

It's Taylorsville. Go there from time to time... though with this heat I haven't been lately lol

The bullet design is the biggest factor. It has comparable speeds but the ballistic coefficient is much much higher. Basically he bullet is long and sleek kind of like the 6.5 creedmoor's design it's the same concept that it will retain speed and energy further down range and also buck the wind more efficiently than other standard .22 caliber rounds...it is a very long bullet design much more than .223, 22-250 or 220 swift... so basically it comes down to how effectively the bullet cuts through the wind.... One day I'm gonna video and run the .22 ARC against the .22-250 at extended ranges and see how they compare. Gotta find a range for that first.

They are faster yes....But supposedly at 300 yards the bullet design from the .22 ARC has a more efficient design. It has a much much higher ballistic coefficient that will enable it to retain speed, and energy much further down range with less wind drift. Theoretically. If you haven't seen the difference in the bullet design I recommend checking that out. I plan to do some testing at extended ranges whenever I can get a place to do that kind of test to video it... Supposedly at 300 yards the efficiency of the high ballistic coefficient bullet from the .22 ARC it will match the .22-250's performance and exceed it beyond 300. I want to test this because that is the supposed caveat to the .22 ARC's performance. And I have a .22-250 Howa 24 inch bull barrel to run it against... Hopefully I can do that in the future soon.

I would love to see that comparison. I guess my problem is, I don't have any place to shoot past 300 yards.

@@BrianSanner-rr6lp Same here... I know there are places around where I'm at. But getting the opportunity to go there is rare. I'm gonna make it happen. Just can't say when, most likely will be in the fall or winter.

Awesome, I will be watching for it, Thanks

You sure about that? That’s not what I was seeing years ago when it came out but nonetheless, 22 nosler is a dead caliber with no support anyway. I haven’t even seen brass for it since 2020. And to go a bit further you can’t puss the long heavy bullits with the nosler either.

Well sir- yes. Afew years ago I got bitten by the AR bug. Selling my old faithful bolt guns.To replace my 22-250 I thought I'd try a cmmg 24" upper in 22nosler. Very pleased- 53gr varmegeddon-3750fps ,62gr-3400 ,70grNosler Trophy-3150. I have helped several buddies convert spare carbines with just a bbl replacement & a new mag. AWESOME ON COYOTES OUT TO 500YDS. WE are happy campers !

You are absolutely right. That is what has happened so far I've found the more rounds I've put through the more accurate it has gotten. Good luck on your build. Hope it turns into a tack drive my friend!

Thanks! Hope yours continues to be a tack driver as well!

That's awesome! Glad to see more folks getting into the cartridge! And you're welcome glad to have helped!

I mean doing it with a camera phone by yourself is hard. It's not like i did it on purpose to annoy you... I can watch it and everyone else so far hasnt had an issue. Only you have said something. Maybe you need some motion sickness pills if something this trivial is tough for you to watch 🤷... I'm not an expert at youtube or making videos, if it upsets you the only thing I can say is sorry, and maybe it's not for you.

Exactly man! Hate to throw it out, its still got a few more years left in it! Lol... I was sighting in an AR pistol with a 10.5 inch barrel a few years ago, and wen I was shooting I didn't account for the muzzle blast which blew the seam apart on the bag. Like you said duct tape solves it all! 😂

@@Steelrunner The same thing happened to mine. I shit you not.

@@kstimberghost3283 We live and we learn 😂

👍

Speed wise yes. But the design of this long bullet has a much much higher ballistic coefficient which will allow it to buck the wind much better, while also retaining more speed and energy further down range... I plan to do some long range tests with the 22 ARC cartridge as soon as I can find a suitable range to film it.

@@SteelrunnerI meant in reference to projectile weight. If using lead core projectiles, I’d expect similar BC, if using monolithic copper, would possibly be better due to being able to load and chamber longer projectiles sure. Which I’m guessing is where it actually beats 5.56x45, in similar weight and construction projectiles doesn’t seem like a big difference. (Meaning the ones both can fire)

Wow that's a hot rod right there... and being a 6mm thats impressive. I can't wait to get into handloading one day. So many more opportunities to try!

Thank you so much!! You are absolutely right as things grow the more things will come!

Wondered that myself I've seen some forums say 2,500 and some say over 4,000... One thing hornady has said that it operates at normal pressures around 52,000 psi so theoretically should be comparable with .223 or .22-250... maybe right in the middle of those if I was to take a good guesstimate.

@@Steelrunner 22 250 destroys barrels but it's going 4k fps

@@dsxz definitely harder on barrels than .223 for sure... Just as long as it isn't anything like .220 Swift I think it wouldn't be too bad. Lol

You're welcome... And yep that's it 💯. Was thinking the same thing! Lol

Thanks you or saying that i appreciate it.. I plan to do other calibers as well, just been on the journey of testing this new cartridge. And yea I see what you're saying and it does make sense. But I believe that the design of the bullet itself is the major factor with the .22 ARC while still being able to achieve those speeds... while the speed is comparable with other .22 caliber projectiles the high b.c. which on the 62 grain is a G1 of .395... that will enable it to theoretically retain speed, and energy further down range with less wind drift. I can't speak to longer distances just yet but I'm hoping to run it next to the .22-250 at 300 yards in a future video whenever I can find a suitable range to do that. But Hornady says it will match or even out perform the .22-250 @ 300 yards and outperform it beyond.. I really want to put that to the test. And yes the 88 grain is the heaviest in the factory ammo offerings but I think I've heard them talking about a 90 grain that can be handloaded.

Thank you! 👍

Brass life is good. I’m on #8 with starline 6.5 Grendel brass. No issues so far. I can’t speak for the hornady brass yet, they’re on their 2nd firing right now.

@@user-yj2kz3ig8t did you have to neck turn it after converting?

Thank you glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! I appreciate that!

Definitely! It seems like the amount of fps loss from a 24" to a 20" is negligible. On the 62 grain 100 fps loss from what the box say's and still having it at 3200 fps is still extremely well. Especially the design of these high b.c. bullets. (Which the G1 is .395 on the 62 Grain Vmatch) I believe it's gonna hold velocity and energy very well at extended ranges. Would like to see how it compares to the .22-250 at 300 yards and see if Hornady's claim is true.

@@Steelrunner comparing the 22-250 to the 22 arc????? Sounds like an awesome video 😉

@@wildnorthadventures I happen to have a Howa .22-250... only thing is it is a 24 inch barrel. But oh well you're right that would be an awesome video! Gonna have to find a 300 yard spot to do that one day.

Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words!

That's Awesome! I think I'm starting to build some more confidence in it. I've been saving all my brass as well. When I have the room I'm going to set myself up a reloading station and really tweak the performance.... Good news though I have a chronograph on the way that should be here any day now... Gonna post a video of the chronograph speeds as soon as I get it in! BTW I love the 6 ARC as well. Lol

Ah I recognize your channel! I've watched some of your videos! So great that we've crossed paths here! Love your content my friend!

@@Steelrunner thanks, I like what you're doing. Keep it up. I've been very interested in 22 ARC since it was announced. Not a lot of content on it yet since it's pretty new.

From everything ive seen with gas blocks, usually the port on the block is usually slightly bigger than the gas port on the barrel to allow for very slight variations of off center cant and different port sizes and still covering the port fully. I've heard of people actually boring out the gas port larger. A gunsmith could do this I'm sure with a drill press and however many thousandth's of an inch of material I couldn't say how much you would need. But If you have an adjustable gas block they are usually bigger than the actual port itself so the limiting factor it would seem is the actual gas port itself, but by boring out the actual port just a bit i believe would still be within the tolerances of the maximum adjustment on the block. Again I'm sure a smith with the right tools can measure these tolerances. If taking a very small amount at a time it would allow more gas to force the bcg's action. And it might take a few attempts removing just a small bit at a time to tune your rifle. Some other problems simpler problems could also be make sure the gas rings inside your bolt carrier are still good and not flimsy so they are sealing properly during funtion, and the gas key on the carrier itself is tight and staked properly. Hope this helps my friend.

@@Steelrunner appreciate the reply. I have tried 2 other new bcg’s 2 lantec and 1 santan. Kinda stuck in a rock and a hard place. Maybe just changing out buffer springs is simplest. Thanks again

@@Trapper-tr3sd Have you tried using a different buffer system than the A5? Those JP enterprise captured springs I've heard work very well in a regular carbine buffer tube. I have one of the knockoff versions by Armaspec in another rifle of mine but I couldn't say how well it works with an adjustable system. Mine is pinned.

@@Steelrunner no Sir I I have tried different weights but I hadn’t tried any of the JP gear. I did a lot of reading on them and called them even emailed and never got a reply.

I like my BA barrels. I have several builds with BA barrels and they have all performed great. They have really good quality and they don't break the bank... they have their memorial day sale going on now on their website woth 20% off all barrels

Same here. Hopefully they get some better powders for those cartridges.

My 6 ARC gas gun loves the Black 105bthp. 5/8”-3/4”

Wow that's crazy. I've never noticed much difference when adjusting the gas but it theoretically I guess could make a difference. The pressure in the gas port is somewhere around 12,500 psi and that varies a bit, but that is alot of psi that could ave been absorbed.

Are they handloaded? I've only ever seen the ELD-M in the 123 grain.

@@Steelrunner I hand load but yes they do sell them in stores

The .22 ARC so far has performed well... The .22 Creed I'm sure is faster but probably has a slightly longer action. It's always nice to weigh your options and only you know what is right for you.... Going to be doing some sort of penetration/expansion video in the next couple of weeks, Hopefully that will help you further with your desicion ... And yea I think the Caldwell would be fine for the chronograph testing. It seems most of the feedback I've gotten most people want to see the Garmin results. If the stars all align I'm gonna try and give the viewers what they want to see. But we will see! For that they will have to wait a little longer because it is quite expensive.

@@Steelrunner ah there’s plenty of videos of the Garmin out there. Do what’s best for you. The Caldwell works, and that’s more money you save for ammo

That's great. Come to think of it I used to have a 450 bushmaster in an AR platform and it did well with the Black ammo as well. Can't believe I forgot about that. Thank youn for reminding me. Glad it has been good for you as well!

Lol no way...it's still there lol... it was probably because the beanie I wore that day it was chilly. And thanks man I enjoy that rifle as well
