The most common issue observed by forum members were with 18 inch mid length gas systems especially when trying to use a suppressor. Satern/Liberty 18 inch barrels had a huge gas port which seemed larger than most other manufacturers. I have a Faxon 18 inch group buy barrel with mid length gas with non adjustable gas system. It has been gtg with any ammo I’ve used along with my hand loads but I can’t have a suppressor in Illinois.
I have a 16” carbine gas J&T Distributing 6.5 Grendel (sister Co to Double Star) with fixed A-2 sight. It is a good candidate for an adjustable gas carrier since it has a tendency to be over gassed. I really like my 16 inch Faxon group buy barrel which is mid length gas.
