gas system length and gas to face question - Greyling - 03-23-2018
all other things being equal, would a 16" barrel and midlength gas system give you more gas to the face when suppressed than a 20" barrel with rifle gas? I ask because I am picking a barrel, and I'm left handed.
or would an adjustable gas block make the gas length question moot? I was just wondering about dwell time.

Few ways to reduce blowback
Reduce gas (adjustable gas block)
Reduce barrel pressure (less efficient can or longer barrel)
Increase cycle time (longer dwell, more mass, different cam pin timing)
They all help, but adjustable gas block is the fastest and most effective way.
I run a 18" intermediate length gun with an ultra 7 with 0 gas face. Heavy buffer and an slr block.
I've also run suppressed 556 sbrs with proper sized gas ports with 0 gas face.
Over gassing is the main issue, every other solution is a bandaid.

Is your Ultra 7 a 30 or 6.5?
