    96EF0FB3-BF70-4AF1-864E-170487F7E356.jpgDoes anyone have any knowledge, information, or experience with a gas port like this? Gas Port size is 0.065

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

    I can't tell much about the hole as the pic is too small. AR gas ports will be eaten away on the muzzle side making it elongated.

    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.

    Does the AGP affect the recoil impulse?

    It's probably one of these.

    I have a couple. They are soft shooting, with smaller gas ports.

    Any reliability issues?

    No issues so far. The makers of the barrel claim you can use weak ammo and it will cycle perfectly but I haven't put it to the test yet. I have about 200 rounds through the barrels.
