I've been looking at this since they posted it on FB. I'll let the reviews come out first.

I'm guessing its a little soon for anyone to have done an independent test on how the adjustment holds up over time and through a high volume of fire? I like the idea of an adjustable BCG gas key but I'm a little hesitant that the only adjustment locking method is a drop of loctite on the screw.

I'm with Battle on this. 60 bucks is a bit much for just a key... I'm not dishing that out for something so new.

I always ask...where will the gas go?
First, lets understand "gas". It is compressible. It is "fluid". It always seeks to equalize its pressure in its environment (from areas of high-pressure, to low, much like water seeks the lowest).
With the Noveske SB:
Some gas leaks out around the mechanism, most of it never enters it and continues out the barrel as the area for compression is very small.
With the Gas-key:
Since the key/tube is not a perfect seal, and the tube provides significant area for compression in this system, the gas will likely enter the tube in semi-normal quantities, and then be vented into the upper receiver as it spills forward out of the gas-key, and around the gas-tube. This can be seen on all Stoner AR weapons as the tube end and that are of the upper are fouled/sooted. This will exacerbate it by blowing the gasses there, vs. them venting from the 2 holes in the carrier.
