Thanks to Bullseye 57 for the answer to question 1. Since the AR's method of barrel attachment will not work for a variety of reasons, I find myself forced to design my own barrels.
At any rate, here's question 2.
In a blowback design with no mechanical lock, is there significant rearward force on the barrel or is it all applied directly to the bolt face?
Example:
A Ruger 10/22 cycles via free blowback. That being said, the force used to cycle the bolt is applied directly to the bolt face. But is there any other force that might attempt to force the barrel rearwards, as was theorized in the long-dead Savage automatic pistols?
