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.
We miss you, ToddG.
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.

Why do the loudest do the least?
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.
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.
