Description
Why vent excess gas you already let in? Stop it from coming in, in the first place!
Adjustable Reduced Flow spindle valve for the M14, developed by Gaard Engineering. This replaces the stock spindle valve on the M14 (including sub-variants M1A, M25, Tanker, EBR, etc) and limits gas flow into the gas system when firing heavier loads, or when firing suppressed. You can shoot with confidence that you are not over stressing the op-rod, or damaging your brass.
This valve is a revision of the USGI version: the slot to rotate between on/off has been moved to the thin end of the valve, and the chamfered head has been flattened. All this, so a threaded hole can be added, allowing an extended set screw with a lock-nut to come in from the side to regulate the size of the gas passage from the barrel into the gas cylinder.
Unlike previous solutions that let too much gas into the gas system, then have to vent it back out, this system simply does not let the gas in, in the first place. Simpler, and better. And since the part is simpler to machine, it is also cheaper than other solutions. The valve is infinitely adjustable, from almost fully closed, up to full USGI size, so you can set it to a minimum, where it will not cycle the gun, then open it a little at a time until it just locks the bolt back on an empty magazine. After that, tighten the lock nut, and you are all set to go, regardless of the barrel length, load, bullet weight, or choice of suppressor.
No modifications to the gun are required: this is a 5 minute drop-in that is fully reversible.
Includes both wrenches needed to adjust.
