I have never seen a stripped barrel, but isn’t that LMT’s angled gas port they use on their monolithic platform uppers?

This is a new mid length barrel with a "Rearward Angled Gas Port" with a gas port diameter 0.065.
I'm just wondering what is the purpose/benefit of the AGP?

For reduced ‘port erosion’.

This is the most utilitarian design and the AKs have it. The natural wear on barrel ports eats away the front end. I have a pic of an barrel with 6000 rounds on it here somewhere I just saw yesterday but can't find it this morning I was going to post. will look some more.

An angled gas port would move the bore hole down the barrel some; which would logically reduce the pressure slightly due to elongating the system without requiring a different gas tube.
As far as port erosion... that limits out at some point and really has never been a practical concern.
In 25 years of AR shooting, I've never seen a problem with the standard gas port configuration. (other than imbeciles spec'ing massively over-sized ports)
