Noveske Gas Ports
I don't know VSeven port size on the 12.5. I do know this:
It shoots well unsuppressed with the VSeven titanium BCG, Geissele H1 buffer/spring. No adj block.
A handy lightweight rifle.
I've not experimented with an added tungsten weight to the buffer.
ETA: this is with Wolf Gold 223 55gr and MEN 556 56gr.Last edited by fledge; 7 October 2016 at 13:16.

Ended up going with a V Seven with their "mil specified" gas port. And so it begins...

Congrats. Did you figure out port size for that one?

I was on the fence between Noveske and V7 for an 18" stainless middy (I know you're looking for shorter). It impressed me that when I called V7 and left a message, the owner called me back. I was amazed. He answered every question I had and more. I wouldn't hesitate to go with them.
However, I ended up choosing Noveske because I found a discount code and got a switchblock barrel for 10% off discount code no longer works...
Anyway, there is no way my barrel is overgassed. That thing is buttery smooth suppressed or not. Then again, it is with an A5 system.

This thread has kind of turned into a V-Seven thread, and I'm very thankful. Wow, does my barrel shoot.
First up, last week I zeroed the gun, first unsuppressed and then finally suppressed. Unsuppressed, with a H2 buffer, I got numerous FTFeed issues. The empty brass would eject, but the next round wouldn't strip and load. I don't fault the barrel for this, as it's a smaller gas port and this is easily fixed. I didn't have a spare H-buffer on hand to "fix" the issue, so I just dealt with it until I threw on my SF Mini can (and eventually my full-size RC). Once the suppressor(s) were on, it ran like a sewing machine. Groups were very consistent, even with my less than precise reticle (MK6).
Today it was time to see how it did at distance. Just, wow. I wasn't expecting to get out past 500y with a 12.5" barrel with any consistency. At 400y, I was able to stack hits on top of each other. At 600y, the hits kept coming. We had a little bit of wind today, but nothing crazy, so I'm sure with something up towards 10 MPH, it would have been much harder with the round going as slow as it was, but still, this thing was consistent today.
Fledge, thank you so much for the recommendation. This was exactly the barrel I was looking for. And thanks to V-Seven for making a fantastic barrel.

Yes, 12.5" barrel. Looks like VSeven doesn't do the adjusted gas port anymore. I asked when I bought my 14.5" and he said they were doing it in the past for an LE agency.
The 12.5" has continued to impress. I took out at distance again after that post, but the conditions had a little more of a swirling wind down the cut in the trees. 500y was consistent, 600y was tough, especially with no spotter. The extra 4x on the NF helped, though.
It groups better than I can shoot. It can stack rounds on top of one another when the shooter isn't an idiot and doesn't jerk the trigger. I've primarily run IMI 77gr (the older stuff that was hotter) for precision and some Federal M193 when needed. I do have data on some some Southwest Ammo 77gr and CBC 77gr. Both shot well.
Once I went to the H-buffer, the gun has run flawlessly both suppressed or unsuppressed. I typically will run it with a SOCOM Mini 99% of the time, but when I've shot it prone without the can, it's like shooting a .22LR.
Since this has been in a Mini RECCE config for a while, I'm probably going to change the config for a bit and throw the ATACR 1-8 on it and pull off the bipod. That way I'll have two nearly identical 12.5 carbines, one with a T2 and one with a LPV setup.
I posted this pic elsewhere, but for completeness (minus the dumb NF caps).
