Enhance your shooting experience with RS Replacement Plungers!
If you like to keep spare parts on hand for maintenance or replacement, consider adding the appropriate size Plunger to your kit. The service life of a Plunger varies from 10,000 to 25,000 rounds, depending on your firing schedule. When you replace a worn-out barrel or bolt, or when the working end of your Plunger has been worn away by half, it’s time for a new plunger.
Customise Your Settings
You can also select shorter or longer plungers to fine-tune the range of adjustments used for your specific firearm. This provides a tremendous amount of flexibility thanks to the modular design of the RIFLESPEED™ line of Gas Controls. For example, after completing the setup instructions found on riflespeed.com, you may determine that with Plunger 937 installed, your carbine uses setting number 1-6 for suppressed fire with milspec ammo and setting number 1-11 for unsuppressed fire with commercial .223 ammo. These settings can be adjusted based on your local range conditions.
Adapt to Temperature Changes
Since more gas is required during extreme cold winter temperatures, you can select a shorter plunger like Plunger 917 to shift the position of your ideal settings to the lower portion of the adjustment range. Each plunger number represents a shift of 2 positions on your control knob. Therefore, instead of using settings number 1-6 and 1-11, you would now be using settings number 1-2 and 1-7 for suppressed and unsuppressed fire, respectively.
Why Adjust?
Shifting the range of adjustments to lower numbers allows you to have more room to increase gas later when temperatures drop without having to dial past the Rotation Stop to use Rotation Range Two. Cold guns need more pressure to run, and cold ammo produces less pressure, making it crucial to increase gas flow when temperatures plummet. Selecting the specific plunger that positions your preferred settings in the lower third of the adjustment range provides the most potential adjustment range.
General-Purpose Size
Plunger 937 comes installed in every RIFLESPEED™ Gas Control. This is the general-purpose size that covers a broad range of firearms, measuring 0.937" long and suitable for most configurations. Plunger 917 measures 0.917" and offers less restriction for configurations requiring more gas to ensure reliable function, allowing the use of lower-numbered settings on your Gas Control.
Included in Your Purchase
- Plungers 917 and 937 are included in the retail package with each RIFLESPEED™ Gas Control.
- These sizes provide coverage of the full range of potential settings needed for nearly every configuration identified during the development of the RIFLESPEED™ Gas Control.
