Hammerhead grip question?

[morfeeis]

So i have a hammer head grip mounted on my lower and the stock is mounted to the hammer head also, i then bought a buffer tube for the top, the tube i bought was for a calapable stock and has a tiny hole at the very end just like any other buffer tube. Now this may sound like a dumb question, but is there any danger posed by that hole at the end of the buffer tube as it will be right near my face in the way i have it set up?



idea of how i have it set up, now of course i will wrap the end in some sort of foam but i'd rather ask now instead of have a bruise later or even worse....

You're questioning your question?

Anyways, i don't have the answer to your question, but i would assume you would get some carbon gas coming towards you now and again.

Thats what i thought but wasn't to sure, i might just buy another tube form the EXile site....

Is the pic of your AR or just stock pic?

i think youll be fine. your face is going to be on top of the buffer tube, and im fairly certain that hole is just to give the air behind the buffer a place to go. its not like folks are getting their shoulders blown off by that little hole anyways...

It's a stock pic but that's what my AR will look like minus the optics and the guard.

That little hole is fine. Some of our tubes have that hole. After firing, by the time the bolt unlocks and begins its rearward travel, any hot gas is going to have exhausted out the ejection port. I doubt there would even be much air blowing out of that hole as the buffer fits very loosely in a buffer tube. It's not like a sealed plunger in there.

The biggest danger from that Type III configuration would be if you forgot to pin the collapsible stock.

Thanks man, as i said better safe then sorry. i still might end up buying the skinny tube and foam, i just think it looks better..

If your face is in teh right place, the hole would be open to the air over your shoulder. Has anyone mounted the butt stock upside down so the contact area is higher?

We call that a Type II configuration:

I've got this old photo with our discontinued aluminum product. The ARUL-E stock also has a clamp that ACE calls a "gusset" which is not installed for this photo, but you can see it in the post above on the ARUL stock.
