    I bet it’s the gas block. I believe the superlative is fully open at 4.5 turns out.

    Is there anyone with this combination that's had success?
    Switch out the adjustable gas block to a mil-spec piece. Check the carbon ring around the port for proper alignment. What extension tube do you have, mil-spec or commercial? What bolt carrier are you running, Full Auto, semi Auto (full semi Auto) or colt modified?

    What procedure did you use to align the gas block? If you set it to fully open and it's still undergassed, you can be pretty sure you have an alignment issue. I'd check the gas key and gas tube length as well.

    I have rifle length gas. I also had trouble at first. Turned out my barrel port was undersized. I opened it up to 0.099" and it's working now.

    For what it's worth, that's with 18.6" barrel, full mass Colt BCG and H1 buffer.

    Anyone have info on 18.6” MIDLENGTH gas port size? Can’t seem to find any info on this.

    Another thing to look at is the gas rings on your bolt make sure all your seams are NOT aligned.

    That .99 is very large for a rifle length. What diameter and what is the OAL of the barrel?

    18.6" barrel and 0.750" gas block.

    I couldn't actually find solid info on gas port size for 18.6" barrels, but did see mentions of 0.098" for 20" barrels, even some random internet forum comments about up to 0.109".

    Rifle works now with a non-adjustable gas block at the moment. I'm no expert, but it sure doesn't feel over gassed and was ejecting nicely at a 3 o'clock position during my test firing.

    I’ve alao seen these charts and they often never have info on what a MIDLENGTH 18.6” should be. I asked RWA about IBI and their answer was 0.092”, but I think the journal is larger than 0.750”, so a 0.750” would be smaller. Anyone else have info?
