Personally, I won't run anything but mid length gas systems outside of My DMR's and My pistil builds. Shoots smoother and historically is the most reliable outside of Rifle length. I would run a heavier buffer. I mostly shoot handloads though (I do have plenty of factory ammo as well). Yet to have any issues with any of My guns. I used to have a problem with a .300 blackout that had a 16-inch barrel and a pistol length gas system that I got rid of. I appreciate the review. Do you still have it and how is it running??
Hey man did you try putting an h3 buffer in it with a heavier buffer spring like a geissele braided? It slows down the action and gives more dwell time to build pressure, fixes every gas issue I've had, it's all I run now. Didn't improve over time? I was thinking of doing basically the same build
@@grobtheory466 I actually did the opposite I took everything apart, realigned the gas system and using a standard buffer, ran 200 rds of 5.56 and now it runs .223 no problem.
@@hoosier_tactics nice! If you start shooting suppressed and have similar issues the h3 and braid is the cure, it took a bunch of trial and error before I figured that out, but now ive the both a 10.5 and 16 running flawlessly and soft shooting both suppressed and unsuppressed. Looking forward to the 13.9, my 16 is too long with the dead air device and can, also I have the e brake on the end which is amazing
@@grobtheory466 interesting the rifle length and mid-length gas systems have a lot less gas blowback pressure where the carbines have more but it's to clear debris and be more resilient. 2 downsides. 1. harder on the bcg and parts and buffer but more reliable. 2. you need an h2 or h3 buffer to even the impulse and slow the bolt down some to be more consistent. all that said lol, you could probably put those in a mid or rifle gas system but may not need it. vs a car one where it's preferred.

yep I just restaked the whole gas system, ran 300 rounds of 5.56 and now it's one of my favorites
just got 100 subscribers thanks guys for the longest time I think I had 19, thanks for listening to me occasionally rant.
