New suppressor host, questions on gas restrictions

Side comment....

Anyone remember the pig tail gas tubes? They cork screwed around the barrel in the EARLY days of trying to figure out how to make carbeans work.

I do remember that. The gas port was on the bottom and made a 180 degree turn right?

Side note, I bought a Bootleg BCG to try out since I didn’t have a BCG for this upper anyways. Hopefully it will work! If it doesn’t, I will do a .078” gas port next with a new BCG.

Have you tried these? They're a legit option?

Of course!

I remember those. They were somewhat popular on pistol gas length guns.

I've been running the bootleg carrier in several rifles. Its made a huge difference in my 6.8SPC. Badly overgassed with a can, and the bolt would over run the mag and cause malfunctions.
