AR Operating System Deep Dives
This is the origin story of Newton’s Laws of Motion, as chronicled in his epic manuscript:
Principia Ballistica: Observations on the AR-15 Operating System and Other Mechanickal Arts.
The AR operating system is a tremendous feat of engineering genius.
In this article, we introduce the function and components of the operating system, queueing up our subsequent deep dive series.
The barrel is one of the most important components of the AR.
In this series of articles, we explore the features and function of the rifled AR barrel.
The gas system is the circulatory system of the gas-operated AR. It generates the power that drives the entire operating system.
In this series of articles, we explore the components and attributes of the gas system and learn how it contributes to a finely tuned weapon system.
The buffering system is the counterpart to the gas system. It harnesses the power delivered by the gas system and converts it into the kinetic energy that operates the action of the AR.
In this series of articles, we explore the components and attributes of the buffer system and learn how it contributes to a finely tuned weapon system.

In this article, we explore the ways you can control and tune the AR operating system.
After reading this article, you should understand how to manage an over-gassed or under-gassed AR.
