Not at all! I'm all for reliability but I'm just looking to have a rifle that isn't over gassed to the point of self destruction, hence the Syrac that I'm looking at. I can spring and buffer the gun down to be tame but I just want it to not eat itself up. I'm actually in favor of a bit of over gassing to promote reliability over ammo and temperature inconsistencies but how much is too much? 0.086 just seemed a little big to me when the NSWC Crane Ppt stated that the "gas ports were opened from 0.062 to 0.070". I'd be a bit less concerned if DD told me they were 0.075-0.078.
If they really are 0.086, I'll certainly use a Syrac to choke it down a bit but there are a lot of numbers being thrown around; I read a thread on here this am that said DD reps were saying at SHOT that the Mk 18 ports were like 0.077. That would be awesome!
