New Upper Build Questions - Trident00 - 04-21-2018
I am doing my first 6.5 Gr build and found this thead while researching carrier springs and carriers.
The JP vmos and scs h2 look like quite the ticket.
I’m wondering if you use an adjustable gas block would there be advantages to using low mass carrier etc and throttling down the gas input at the block? Would it reduce the rate of fouling from the gasses and have other positive effects? Am I thinking about this correctly?
Cheers

I ended up just going with a Superlative Arms adjustable gas block on my build. Functions flawlessly once adjusted correctly, then tuned again after about 200 rounds. My bolt does not appear any cleaner as a result of going with this type of gas block. Recoil reduction was a wash as this build is lighter than my previous one. Could not justify the cost for the JP setup as my new Proof barrel had already put me over budget!
