But if you forget to turn the gas block on again when you shoot without the silencer, this usually leads to cycle malfunctions. Therefore, the amount of gas can be reduced by means of a gas port. This causes the locking system to be overstressed, so that it can be damaged in the worst case. The resulting dynamic pressure leads to more gases forced into the action, which in turn cause a strong recoil during cycling. So gas pressure cannot be released directly at the muzzle as usual. Well, when a suppressor is used, there is considerable resistance at the muzzle. This is important when using a suppressor. , since with the gases also smoke and powder residues get into the action.Ī special feature of the Savage MSR 10 Hunter is the standard adjustable gas block , since there are no additional mechanical parts in movement.Ī disadvantage is the increased cleaning effort The direct impingement is good for accuracy Automatic cycle utilizes the classic AR-15's direct gas operating system.

Inside the trigger guard, a Blackhawk! AR Blaze trigger.
Savage MSR 10 Hunter's magazine well houses a MagPul PMag10 Gen M3 magazine. This results in a very hard, smooth surface, which ensures exact repeatability of the trigger characteristics. Thanks to a chemical surface treatment, the mechanical elements have a nickel-boron coating. Designed as a two-stage trigger, it breaks at exactly 56.43 oz / 1,600 g and cannot be adjusted by the shooter. The Blackhawk! AR Blaze trigger is a drop-in version for AR-15 rifles and therefore is interchangeable. The trigger of the MSR 10 Hunter comes from the US company Blackhawk!

This means that right-handed shooters don't have to remove the shooting hand from the grip when changing the magazine. The magazine release button is located on the right within index finger range. A full-length MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail sits on the upper without any forward inclination.
Thanks to its tensile strength (up to 540 N/mm²), this high-strength material can be compared with many steels but it weighs much less The upper and lower receiver are made of an aluminum-zinc alloy with the material number 3.4365. Lower receiver with pistol grip and magazine, charging handle and bolt. Barrel, handguard and upper receiver including scope, the Blackhawk! stock,
