UncleDano's Review of Wilson Combat AR10 Match Grade Barrel
Purchased the above barrel from Optics Planet recently. I noticed the gas port looked small when I installed it. Somewhere between .065- 071" seems a little under sized to me.
Upon range testing found that with the gas port fully open it would not feed the second round into chamber and would not lock open on the last shot.
This is with a 3 ounce buffer and the lightest carbine buffer spring I could find. So I am assuming this confirms my assumption of an undersized gas port.
Contacted Wilson Combat and asked what size they normally drill gas port. They said gas port diameter normally drilled for these barrels is .076". Checked the forums and found this:
No possible way this 0.076" gas port will work. Will never happen, with a proper recoil system in place. It's gonna have to be 0.085" minimum, and probably 0.090" in the end. I think it's just gonna get the 0.090" treatment right away. As it is, it's just not right.
So, I will have to gauge the gas port hole and open it up if needed.
Not real happy about this, you would think Wilson Combat would have this figured out by now.
