Finally, I removed said tube, and installed a microbest (Daniel Defense). The gun immediately began cycling the way it was intended, with the intended weight buffer.

Another friend had the same issue, and mic'ed the V7 inconel tube. It measured an ID slightly smaller than mil-spec.

This is something t o keep in mind if you have a properly gassed gun, like a Hodge or Centurion.
Great info, actually answers a question I had and is going to have me swap gas tubes on two different rifles.
