I have a 14.5” P&W to 16” G$ Super duty in 556 with the standard Huxwrx muzzle device and Huxwrx 556 Flow can.
The barrel and can get incredibly hot very quickly ( < 30 rounds) and it takes a very long time for it to cool down. I get blue smoke radiating off the barrel and it is too temperature hot to hold the hand guard.
What am I doing wrong? Advice for me? Should I be using a Huxwrx 6k flow can instead? Add an adjustable gas block?
I recently purchased a Federal Ordinance, M1a manufactured date ~1986. I bought it off of Gunbroker. It has a US tactical systems m21 scope mount. It shoots great but according to my gunsmith, the optic that I bought it with is broken beyond repair. I’m looking for a new scope that is historically appropriate/adjacent. What does this group suggest? I’m a recreational beginner shooter.
