The number of folks on my Full Of Shit list grows everyday
I am American
None of this would be an issue if we would just stick to 20" barrels with 12" gas systems, just as Eugene Stoner the patron saint of direct impingement intended.
What I did on a very gassy LMT 16" carbine 10 years or more ago: Swapped the semi-bcg for full auto...installed a RED chrome-silicon recoil spring from Sprinco & stepped up the buffer one notch. And finally- added a VG6 muzzle brake. Been a 100% flawless rifle that stays dead straight during firing, and recoils like a purring kitten.
The obedient always think of themselves as virtuous rather than the cowards they really are.
Best option is to rebarrel. I have been extremely picky lately with my most current builds on what barrel I select.
Secondly, if rebarrel was not an option, I would install a BRT gas tube with reduced port.
I have also used factory Noveske barrels with factory pinned switchblocks if a long handguard is not required.
I will not use an adjustable gas block (or any gas block) with set screws.
I have also found on overgassed guns, going to a heavier buffer basically doesn't solve anything. It will not eliminate premature extraction. It will not eliminate case head swipe. And then it causes short stroking when the buffer gets too heavy.

I'm not Scottyryan.
I did, however, install a .060 BRT Custom Tune Gas Port in the FSB of a seriously overgassed 16" carbine with excellent results.
It still locks open on an empty magazine running an H2 buffer, but I live in Alabama, so no cold weather testing here.

No no no.
You need a special color super tactical spring and homemade mix of tungsten and steel weights to get a big window.
