What you have to understand is a adjustable gas block is just one part of the whole system.
By itself it does help but it's when you add the lowmass bcg and either a standard buffer and spring are go with the lowmass style buffer and spring that you really see the results that having a truly dialed in gas system can do for you.
All my ar grendels run on adjustable gas and lowmass bcg's but I still use standard carbine buffers and springs. Works really well for me.
But, BUT I don't have a can get so I can't advise how it would work with the added back pressure from the can.
Here is what I would do. Put the adjustable gas on it your going to need it with the can. Get a righttobeararms lowmass bcg, just as light weights as a JP lowmass but way way cheaper in price.
Drop a standard carbine buffer and spring in it and see how it runs. If it needs more buffer weight. You can pick up tungsten buffer weights cheap and add them to your buffer one at a time and test to see how it goes.
Going about it like that will be cheaper and you will know for sure if it works are if you need to use a full weight bcg instead of the lowmass bcg.
Hope this helps sir.
For what it's worth when I get my can. The route I described above is how I will be going. I want min weight mass being slammed around in my gun as possible.
