So, at least if you're not running hotter ammunition, I'd say it's a don't purchase item to anyone considering one.
Thanks! That's what I was looking for! So far, everything else I've read about it elsewhere said basically if the barrel isn't 12.5" or shorter it could cause some reliability issues. And the posts I read pretty much ran the gamut of "it's the greatest thing since sliced bread" to "avoid at all costs". I just wanted to know if anyone had first-hand experience with it and could share that with me. I'll start off running the standard gas tube with a H-buffer and see how it runs and work from there. Much appreciated!
