Here's a question for you guys...'suppressor optimized gas ports'...

Everybody here knows I am a GA fanboy so I am not questioning them, but I am wondering what is a standard gas port size vs this one, which it says it is .625"

SBR's through my experience can become finicky on the gas to the point where the increased PSI will increase your carrier speed and basically make your gun not function 'in time'...throw in a heavier buffer and spring and you're back in business in many instances. It counteracts those forces to help prevent that violent carrier blow back. Same thing with an adjustable block...

Then throw in a suppressor to the mix and the psi pressures are extended in duration...

Basically my question is how much effect (positive or negative) does constricting the gas port have? Is it really a viable alternative to dropping in heavier buffers or using an adjustable block? If it lets say 10% less gas into the tube that would essentially mean a substantially less carrier speed...or so the theory goes...correct?


Anyone willing to share experiences with this? Trying to get my head around the concept is all.

Also would a constricted port make any significant difference on a longer barrel? Or non suppressed shooting? Shorter barrel I could see that...
