So as long as the port is properly sized there shouldn't be a difference in pressure or wear and tear?
I have a DD M4A1 and a DDM4V5. Should they be equivalent as far as pressure?

I have another question.
What is considered the optimum gas system for barrel lengths 14.5, 16, and 10.3?
What is considered overgassed and what would produce the least wear and tear?
Thanks so much.
And why is a 14.5 carbine better than a 16"?
Does the longer dwell time on the 16" reduce the pressure? Wouldn't that be less harsh on the rifle?
This sentence made it click for me......Finally.
Shorter barrels need larger ports to move more gas because there is less time (barrel length) before bullet leaves the barrel venting all gas. And vice-versa. Right?
And buffer/spring weights are used to compensate back to good operation with improper ports? Finally may be getting it.
Now I possibly know why my first used AR a decade ago was a jamomatic, but my current high quality choice functions flawlessly out of the box.
If I add a suppressor and not a switch block increaseing length, gas would increase, so would I just change buffer/spring to bring back normal operation? Is there a formula or just trial and error?
