Mine is absolutely not over gassed, quite the opposite in fact. I’m running an A-5 system with a Springco spring, but just a normal Noveske gas block, no adjustable in this gun. My rifle is almost EXACTLY like PappaBear’s (great minds think alike). Mine is a Noveske Gen 2 lower, a Noveske branded Vltor upper (super awesome and stiff). Running a Geiselle MK 4 13” rail. Noveske has block, Noveske push pins, SSA-E trigger. Normally I shoot a NF NX8 1-8 or an ATACR 1-8 on it. For groups I put my S&B PMII 3-20 on it (from my GAP-10) Using a Harris bi-pod and a rear bag using Speer 75gr Gold Dots, the gun shot FIVE groups under 1moa at 100 yds. My best was .62 MOA. This was 5 groups, same day, same weather, etc. shooting 5 groups UNDER MOA using Bonded ammo is fantastic in my book. Given handloads, or even Gold Medal Match SMK’s 77gr, this Barrel May well be .5 MOA. I know with accuracy and precision we are looking at “what can it consistently do?” Not “what it did once.” This barrel/gun, did 5 groups Sub MOA on one day. I have barrels made by BCM (Criterion), Colt, Daniel Defense and a couple others. To me, only accurate rifles get to stay around. This Noveske has REALLY amazed me. It’s definitely the best mass produced barrel I own. I’m really liking it, and will definitely pursue more Noveske barrels.
One more thing: according to the seller of this barrel, it was much older. Brand new, but from back when John was still alive. When I spoke to Grant at Noveske, he confirmed the barrel sounded as described. MAYBE the gas ports were changed at some point, idk, but mine isn’t over gassed.
