why do manufacturers not really post gas port sizes? i feel like all the information about barrels is out there except for this info.
i was wondering if someone could help me with gas port sizes on 14.5" mid length barrels. Since there is no industry standard i was wondering what the range is that people think is not "overgassed". i have a 14.5" barrel, mid-length with a vltor a5 stock setup. i spent all the time and money researching everything about the stock and setup and how everyone likes it compared to a stock mil spec carbine buffer. even that you have H1 and H2 buffers to mess around with. Are these all bandaids for overgassed barrels?

i seem to find spec of a few here.

for 14.5 mid length the smallest port I've found is .075 by hodge defense and the largest .081 with noveske and a few others. both respected brands but both on opposite sides of the spectrum. my noveske i have in hand is .081 as well.
