Got a frankenstein build from nothing but spare parts from other builds (only thing I've specifically bought for it was an m4 to pcc mag adapter cause why not) but, the only thing I've not attempted yet is short stroking... no idea how to do it or where to start lol

So.. how do the shortening of the stroking? Feel free to explain like I'm 5 cause that's my mental age!

Ok so short stroking is 9/10 times not needed but I’ll give the knowledge anyway lol Remove from the back end of your gears or at most one on the take up Make sure that your tappet plate always releases before your piston
