    Not with the 6" spark arrester on the end of it!

    Which set up do you find to have the least amount of gas to the face? Least?

    Which one has the smoothest recoil? Most harsh?

    I honestly do not know, they are all about the same to me. I really haven't adjusted the gas on my seekins, since it ran suppressed/unsuppressed reliably right out of the box. I don't get gas to face in any of them that I notice, not like my 9mm rifles/pistols. I have ZERO issues with any of them, I rate them by accuracy, which in my 5.56 guns I would rate them noveske gen 1>Seekins>Sig.

    If we can shoot rifles at gretna (don't think we can) I'll gladly bring them by one day, and let you shoot them all to compare.

    BTW what kinda optic is that? PA or Holosun?

    That is kind of why I decided to go with a direct impingement set up before splurging on a gas piston system. I wish we could shoot rifles at Gretna gun but the range is not rated for those calibers.

    The optic is a holosun (hs403g , maybe?) In a KDG "aimpoint" lower 1/3 mount. The mount is damn near as much as the optic but totally worth it. It has a unique locking system and no side knobs. It theoretically tightens as you shoot for a solid return to zero.
