Agreed.
Tom, I know you remember the original position of the gas tube and gas key on the AR10; it was lower profile and on the side of the BCG, not the top.
I think the market is ready for the change.
Lengthen lug bolts with some LMT style radiuses at the lug roots, etc.
In vulgar terms, I wish this and the LMT e-carrier had a baby. Because there are some features of each i would prefer to have, and vice versa.
However, going back to my original point, reengineering the gas key/gas tube geometry would permit a shortening of the overall length of the carrier, INCREASING stroke length without increasing OAL of the weapon.
Put a witness Mark on the side of the carrier to show how far it should be retracted in order to break the weapon open. And use tungsten inserts in the carrier to increase mass density. Adding even 25mm to the overall stroke of the carrier completely changes the ballgame.
