And when I properly installed the adjustable gas port there was more pressure available. However, this can only be true if the Superlative Arms gas block's instructions are backward, that at 4.5 full turns the port is barely opened and as the adjuster is backed off the port opens more fully. Beats me, but whereas I was undergassed before the adjustable gas block, the rifle was functioning perfectly at nearly fully opened.
Adj gas blocks will actually leak more gas than a standard gas block just by design and no, they don't increase barrel port pressure, they can only restrict it.. No matter how a gas block is installed, correctly or incorrectly the barrel gas port pressure remains the same..I'm not trying to be difficult, but what you are saying is not correct and gives the novice the idea adj gas blocks can increase barrel port pressure when it is physically impossible. Re-aligning a clocked gas block that was choking the rifle system's available barrel port pressure is different than increasing the actual barrel port pressure..
