The gas port is still smaller than 90% of the 10.3-10.5 barrels on the market, it was just three thousandths more than I wanted. They offered a couple of solutions and I wanted to see if any other options were out there. Thread served me well as I learned of Clint’s inserts and will be using one of those.
The inserts that are being discussed are on the gas block, not barrel. You drill/tap the gas block and insert reducer in there and then gas block slides on like normal. The insert can’t move or back out and it effectively gives you whatever port size you want.
I understand the inserts for the gas block.
On a side note, gas ports in bbls are successfully TiG welded and redone commonly.
