The pressures and the forces that act on those parts change drastically with each change in barrel length. The end goal would be making them run in similar fashion right? This would hamper that goal simply because the physics would change so drastically.
If the goal is to make parts interchangeable, then I'd wager setting everything up on a mid length system would get you closer in the end. I think you'd run into a situation where you'd have to either have a special adjustable gas block on a build or two, or make them all similar there, while having to remember the settings on each barrel length.
Thanks for the reply and big plus on the thought out response sir.
Why rifle length simple because that what all my other grendel are and don't want to change from that.
I already run adjustable gas on my grendel so working with that isn't a problem.
I did find some Intel on doing this and it was from solid sources, they said the gas port had to be opened to between 100 to 110 and that's fine because a JP adjustable gas block will still cover up to .120 already measured it.
This isn't going to setup for running long 300 plus round training drills are going hunting simple a shtf quick grab short fight low count 100 to 200 round at a time home defense gun.
Like stated I did find some would Intel was just hoping some of the more experienced members here would have tryed on in grendel before and could give their feed back on it.
But really the caliber don't matter if any member here has tryed this would love to hear what you had to do to get it too work.
As far as the rudeness of my last post I do apologize for that I hate why people ask me why to things.
If Bill A give up when people asked him why we would be shooting 6.8 instead of the grendel.
