If that sounds too much like Brittingham's Koolaid, I'm sorry, but that's the results I've had. Whatever gas port, pistol length gas tube, stock Carb buffer. Done.

    You reload; get after it. And don't hand me that "oddball ammunition" crap, Mr .270. If you ever want to try it, I'll send you 50 cases to get started with.

    I'm sure high dollar shops like Hodge can take your money to do that, or a competent gunsmith can weld and re-drill your port if the barrel is valuable enough to modify, rather than replace. The fact is, those who own and use suppressors is a niche market compared to those who don't. As a manufacturer, why change tooling to do that when you can sell the barrels and let the owner do all the putzing to get his gun to work correctly? DD did back off their gaping port size after enough people griped about it, but who has gone appropriately smaller? Sucks, but that's economics 101 in today's world. Hell, even guns sold as dedicated hosts have oversize ports to run shit ammo. I can't understand why somebody would invest in a nice gun, or NFA items, only to run shit ammo? I know you reload your own, so that's definitely not directed at you, but the dumb-dumbs who buy cool shit, then expect it run sardine can shit are what's making it tough for the guys who want good specs. Hell, the military does it so they can strip NATO rounds of a body in a firefight, so don't expect that to change. The mil isn't all SOF; there are plenty of mouth breathers who can fuck up a wet dream, let a lone a high reliability weapon!

    I haven't done an extended test on my 180 yet, but so far, with 200 round sessions (which is nothing, I know), I'm surprised with the small amount of blowback crud accumulation in the lower. For a right-handed shooter, I haven't found a better solution to gas face than that system. Granted, I haven't put my suppressor on it yet, and I'm sure that when I do, it will increase the crap buildup, but I'm sure that adding oil will work for it, just like a traditional AR/M16.
