    Why would you want to vent out extra gas vs. just limiting the amount that goes into the action?

    Based on the fact you think venting is a good idea I will pass.

    No, not with an, 'off' more like
    -Low (for suppressed fire--ideally would short-stroke with quality ammo without a suppressor attached)
    -Normal
    -Adverse (on the SCAR I call the Adverse setting the, 'Wolf setting' )

    The problem is that it'd likely have to be individually tuned so it'd be cost prohibitive.

    Nice, unfortunately I'm looking for a low profile version. How do you like yours? Had any problems with it?

    I'd actually like more positions for to have more minute adjustability.
    Other than that it works great.

    Yeah I have zero use for an 'off' of any kind. Basically I want
    a little
    normal
    a lot

    I'd like to see a switchblock that would fit and extend out, so I can reach the adjustment under most free floating rails like say the DD RIS mk18.

    So perhaps if I replaced the screw set adjustment with a finger adjusting peg, with a valve set up, with detents and a ball and spring retainer to hold against the detents that would be better? And perhaps move the adjustment towards the front of the block so it is easier to reach?
