As soon as the bullet passes the gas port the path of least resistance is at 9" down the barrel versus 12" on a rifle length gas system. I would be better off having to open up a rifle length gas port than use a mid length, assuming all other things are equal. How do you like your Syrac? I wonder who else will back a barrel like Brownell's? I'm willing to bet AA will. Anyone else come to mind?
The tunable gas block that came with my Odin 22 Nosler barrel fit a little loose and it was around 0.002" out of spec and the rifle wasn't cycling properly due to leakage. I sent them a video of me moving it around on the barrel on a Sunday, called them on Monday morning and had a return label in my inbox and a tracking number for my replacement clamp on adjustable (which I paid around $60 for to upgrade) in a couple of hours. The only other company in the industry that has rectified a problem that fast for me was Geissele - who I'm sure was very motivated to get a trigger that randomly double tapped out of the public domain as quickly as possible! (Unfortunately, the double tap was completely random - otherwise it would be in my safe to make rare guest appearances deep off the grid) Odin does an MOA guarantee but I have no idea what it would take to call them on it.
The Syrac block is fine - does what it is supposed to do. I find installing and messing with gas blocks to be about as much fun as trimming brass, so it's hard for me to get terribly excited.
