[QUOTE="C-130 Dude, post: 2738379, member: 122991"] I guess I should ask if you run any type of adj gas block. I was saying excess gas as used in the bolt cycling process. As in getting rid of any you dont need to operate the bcg by venting it. Gas quantity for the bullet is controlled by the gas port size and length of gas tube (to a degree). Having to large a gas port can indeed rob the bullet push due to waist. Allowing maximum gas availability for bullet push is a givin. AR tuning is the biggest challange when setting up a self built AR. There are times when you dont need to use an adj gas block. I need to because I shoot a variety of bullet weights and vary from suppressed to non suppressed. I have found that the large frame AR calibers can be very picky on setup. Causing a multitude of gas cycling problems. It's much less of a headache to use good springs and buffer weights and use the adj gas block to tune it. As always you need to get the spring and buffer weight combo as correct as possible to begin with. My experience here is a product of 40+ years of doing AR setups. Of course others have a different approach. It's all good in the end. Stay date and have fun. [/QUOTE]
