    This thread was a good read. I wish I would have known all this info a year ago. If I would have known this info last year, I would have done things differently.

    Nah, he doesn't tell. I suspect .056, or .058'' though.

    I would also love to know if Noveske would offer custom gas ports.

    My practice gun is almost at 20k rounds. Currently at 17k. I need to rebuild my bolt, and replace the barrel soon.

    Weirdly though, my suppressor looks fine. I'll keep it as it is.
    We miss you, AC.

    Why do the loudest do the least?

    I don't think it would be on a dedicated upper with full power loads. Obviously wouldn't run un suppressed.

    I'd be interested to get a few together with a high speed camera and measure results, But I doubt I can find local people with these, and unforutnately can't build 3 MK18s now
    -a custom build ~.058" or so
    -a cut down carbine ~.062"
    -a factory 10.5 (LMT or the like)

    Obviously keeping the same: barrel lengths, ammunition, carriers, buffers, springs, etc.

    FWIW, I don't think his bolt locks to the rear on empties. I believe his stated goal was the absolute minimum to get the gun to cycle with the can and whatever his chosen ammo.

    Ahh.

    This makes me hopeful my rifle (with .062" gas port) may still function with full power 5.56 loads and a light buffer unsuppressed.

    The rail comes in tomorrow, I will take it out Friday (without the can)

    Function or lock back on the last round?

    As Grant points out, "function" may mean something different depending on the user. For me it means lock back on empty. For him it does not. I prefer, then, to use the term "cycle" to break down what you're actually looking for.

    Correct Sir. I do not want the "popular" definition of function. I just want it to cycle.

    By "function" I mean if my can is damaged/lost, will I still be able to engage the threat without turning my rifle into a single shot. If the answer is yes, then the rifle functions.

    So, I suppose locking back is not important for "function", and yes, cycle is a better term.

    To re-phrase:

    I hope my rifle, with a .062" gas port, cycles using a buffer weight that allows adequate performance while suppressed.
