I've been doing a lot of Googling trying to determine where Noveske stands with their barrels and if they're over-gassed or not. I see conflicting reports where some people say they're fine and others point out that they're not. What's not clear is if the people saying they aren't over-gassed have old ones or new ones. It's also hard to tell if the people that are saying they're not are actually running spec ammo or not.

I have a "pre-death" 16" that is no over-gassed and runs fantastic suppressed or unsuppressed. However I'm looking for a stainless barrel now, and it seems it's down to BCM or Noveske for the length I'm looking for.

So, what say you all? For new barrels, are they more gassy? (An adjustable gas block is not an option due to the rail choice)
