Hi Mossyoak,
Using an adjustable gas is a good idea.
The energy for loading the next round comes from the compressed spring, not the gas. Turning down the gas will only affect the loading part of the cycle and empty-mag lock-back if the BCG doesn't travel all the way to the rear. The gas pushes against the spring and stores energy in it but once that has dropped below the springs energy the spring takes over and it's all up to the spring. So, if you can turn down that gas to just when the spring is fully compressed but no more...perfect!
