    Okay guys. Spoke with the owner about this whole thing because I don’t like misinformation, especially from my mouth.

    Short and sweet is I messed up and mixed up data. The %23 wasn’t testing done by Proof Research or even on E-BCGs. Completely different product. Proof did say that there was an positive increase in accuracy when using the Lantac E-BCG over Mil-Spec. They did NOT specify a percentage of improvement.

    Complete and total mistake on my part and I hope that it does not reflect negatively on Lantac or our products in your eyes. Completely my mistake and my apologies for being incorrect.

    I have not personally done a MilSpec to BCG accuracy test. I’m not the best precision shooter and i wouldn’t do it any justice.

    No sweat and thanks for owning your error. I do that a lot and it has kept my feet on the ground and my integrity intact.

    Not sure about the rest of you, but I saved 23% on my car insurance by switching to Geico.

    FWIW - just confirmed Proof uses Lantac E-BCG almost exclusively in their AR-15 accuracy testing.

    I had a quick conversation with Proof, and I'm not affiliated with Lantac beyond occasional conversations with Aaron. Per one of the guys that does the accuracy testing for Proof, they did notice in one particular example a large gain up to "as much" as what Aaron quoted earlier, but they also acknowledged in some instances there were no gains. In testing they observed "consistent improvement in consistency when shooting 10 and 20 shot groups." As Aaron just said, Proof now does all their AR15 accuracy tests with the Lantac EBCG. On AR10's, however, Proof still uses JP bolts, which in my opinion is likely due to the JP HP bolts still being one of the better solutions to the pressure issues with the 6s, 6.5s, and 260's on ARs. Proof also said on large frames, that to maximize the potential, it is in conjunction with enhanced buffer tubes from POF or Nemo.

    Yeah now I am torn between the EXO and Nitride...
    The best way to survive a violent encounter is to be the one inflicting the most violence.

    The Nitride carriers are extremely good looking.

    This is how a gas key is staked on a $285 Lantac?

    It’s staked per the milspec in a proper jig. What more do you want?

    Staking isn't just putting a dent into the gas key as appears to be the case in the pic on the right side, but to push material to the gas key screws to prevent from turning and working loose. That's the point of staking.

    Look at the right side staking on the Lantac... why isn't it staked as the left side in your jig? Now the photo isn't the best but it certainly appears that there is a gap around the screw indicating that it isn't staked. Is that not the case?



    This is out of one of my rifles that happened to be out of the safe. I consider this staked.

    I blame M4C for making people lose their minds over staking.
