If you don't mind an aside. . . .
Just wondering, but would it be possible to test for an eroded/enlarged gas port by measuring the velocity of the bullet? Would the larger volume of gas going through the port lower the velocity of the bullet relative to a properly sized port, or are we talking such a small amount of difference that you couldn't measure it given the inconsistency of the ammo?
I have very little technical knowledge of the platform, so I apologize if the question is misplaced and also for not offering any real input to the discussion. I was just wondering after reading through the thread.
