|
I am running the 16" mag with drum..... the question as I see it is: What is better , pushing the arm to the rear or pulling it to the front?........ I am trying to fix the stupid sys the orig builder tried to do, so before I go to cutting and fabbing on some spendy brass I have I want to know what is better, pulling the arm or pushing it?

Thank fellas I was thinking the same thing but since there is no such thing as a stupid question I thought wth may as well ask one.
