I wouldn't run an O-ring necessarily. It's not always needed and can sometimes cause chambering issues.

I wouldn't run an O-ring necessarily. It's not always needed and can sometimes cause chambering issues.
I didn't specify O-Ring, as it's not my place to do so. But according to M. Pannone an O ring is G2G on a 14.5'' CARgas gun.
I know what you're talking about though, I remember reading tons of threads on this board about people using O-Rings and having extraction, and chambering issues due to too much extractor tension. (Mostly on MIDgas guns though, I've never heard of anybody doing it on a RIFLE gas system.)
It seems like whatever the hot topic is on this board, we're all experimenting with the same thing, at the same time. (IE: The AR extractor threads a year or two ago. The lube threads before that. The Gen4 glock threads a year ago. The Gen3/4 extractor issues now. The SCAR threads...) Maybe that's how we make progress.
I just want for the record to say that I have a Noveske Crusader upper and sometimes it gave me issues.
Got a H3 buffer and springco WHITE spring special and it has been pretty reliable and rock solid.
I run a YHM Phantom QD suppressor on the setup so I know it is making a difference with the recoil and sharpness.
I just want to say thank you for having this thread.
