I have an LMT MWS in 308. Love the gun. It runs hot as hell suppressed. Was thinking about using a Black River Tactical insert to reduce gas port size. I know it's a bit over gassed, but it runs fine both suppressed and I suppressed. Just runs hot.
For those of you in the know on these ideal gas port sizes, what range do you think we could go to and run both suppressed and unsuppressed ?
Any feedback appreciated.

PB, uncharted territory as far as the forum knowledge base. I do know MWS have a pressed on GB as well as an angled gas-port. I don't think an insert will work, not sure you can even get the gas-block off. I have seen guys chop rifle length gas MWS barrels down to 16/16.5" to help with gassing suppressed. Otherwise an adjustable gas-key or custom barrel are the only other options I can think of.

Pardon the resurrection, but it's germane to my current interests. :)
Standard 16" MWS barrel is .076 - the 13.5" factory barrel is .086
Wanting to chop a 16" to 14/14.5" and suppress it, but not sure if I'm going to have function issues doing so....
Is that a mid length gas tube?
Yes, mid-length tube on the factory LMT MWS .308 16" barrel. Their 18"+ MWS barrels are rifle length.Quote:

We can modify customer tubes now and are working on a prototype.

Anybody try or use the can that LMT developed for the MWS? Seems going to an adjustable gas block would be the simplest solution, albeit not the cheapest...
We've got the first sets of straight tubes available for LMT applications including the small frame MRP and large frame MWS.

Tagged for interest. I run an AGK on my MWS BCG from Rubber City Armory and have had great results. A new tube would be interesting.
What is an angled gas port?Quote:

Can you help me choose the right gas port size? Feel free to PM if you need more info. Thanks.
A gas port that is drilled at an angle to reduce port erosion.Quote:
