An Interview with Kyle Lynch of Riflespeed [GunCon 2025]

Join BallisticAviation at TheGunCollective GunCon 2025 as he interviews Kyle Lynch, the creator of Riflespeed Gas Controls. The Riflespeed gas control system is a toolless 12-position gas adjustment system that makes it easy for you to quickly and painlessly tune your rifle for a variety of conditions without the need for extra tools. With a clearly defined 12-position system, Kyle's Riflespeed Gas Controls can quickly and precisely adjust your rifle to work with almost any ammo or suppressor setup.

Once again you stated:
Repeating your claim about counting lots of clicks after I wrote ("No "counting endless click adjustments")
So I asked:
How does the location stud adjustment stay put on your gas block without individual setting notches (clicks) that are used on all other adj gas blocks?
Did you answer the question or explain it? No, you tried to gas light me with this reply:
Now you've decided to pretend that my desire for incremental improvements on the Riflespeed meant that I want to eliminate click adjustments - again, with zero foundation in anything I actually wrote.
I quote you: Find out the setting for the biggest port and cut the cam to adjust from fully closed to that in one rotation. Put a stud on the dial so it's tactile and readily visually apparent
So answer these questions. How would the thumb tab stay put to the exact setting needed to the individual rifle's gas system with out endless click adjustments? If you are using click adjustments, how does it work? How many clicks ( adjustment settings) are you going to use? RS understands the need for many fine settings, which is why they have an assortment of plungers to fit the rifle's gas systems need without using endless settings. The thumb tab would need to have the ability to be set for the individual rifles gas system settings, (which I explained in great detail). So how would you do it?
How do you change the cam when fire eroded and what is the cost? How do you reset the cam stud when the fire erosion occurs along the entire shaft? How do you find the gas settings when the cam is fire cut on only one side? How easy is the cam going to be replaced compared to the rinkydink RS?
You called the RS plunger set up Rinkydink, but you never answer the big questions. What keeps your (stop valve) at the proper setting? What prevents your (stop valve) from becoming carboned shut? How do you replace the cam? How does a cam work better when the fire erosion occurs along its entire shaft and one side instead of a plungers end? This is a flaw compared to a plunger, so please explain it. What makes your (stop valve) better than the RS to disassemble for maintenance/parts replacement,etc, compared to the rinkydink RS if it becomes carboned shut? The RS covered all these issues other adj gas blocks haven't. You promoted your cam stop valve as being easy to do, so how do you do it?
You have said a lot of things that doesn't make sense or given any rational explanation on how your cam (stop valve) would actually work or function better than the rinkydink RS. Instead of giving any real explanations to increase understanding of this awesome design of yours, you just post more gas lighting and straw man replies because you have no idea lol..
Again, "my" gas block is simply a recommendation for Riflespeed to update theirs with a click-adjustable cam that goes from zero to wide open in one rotation. You seem to think that's a huge range that introduces a lot of complexity, ignoring my long-ago statement about gas port size.
All of your "Riflespeed solved this really complex problem that you don't explain alternative solutions to" questions answer themselves: Riflespeed already solved them, and nothing I would change would undo their excellent solutions.
Again, there are clicks, but there is no need to count through endless clicks. If you want fine adjustability (more than twelve increments) so that you know your pet load is at its sweet spot of still-reliable but with the softest possible recoil and have time to glance at the dial at the range, you could do that, but you'd still be able to know at a glance (or touch in the dark) that e.g. your sub load is reliable at 9 o'clock and your supers at 5 o'clock.
