Thats a fantastic plan. Worth a shot. Everyone seems to be unwilling to cut, chop, hammer, and drill on their guns anymore.
As I said before, I drilled my blackout pistol barrel to a full 1/8". Even though the gas tube isn't that big, it still fixed my problem.Well that didn't work.
Drilled a new gas port (.0625) and a pistol length gas tube. Still a single shot AR.
GRRRRR dang it....
That was with H110, 17.5gr with 125gr bullets.
Suggestions?
I am thinking of drilling gas port out to about .070ish. Guess it depends on what drill bit I can find.

Give it a shot. You never know, it might turn out good.I got the barrel at FBT. I didn't know what I was looking for and obviously they didn't know what they were selling. S**t happens ya know. I'm not gonna whine about it. I do think I'll go ahead and try to drill it and install another gas block over the old gas port. Heck, I might as well use the block that is on it since it has a mid length tube that won't be used for anything that I have in mind.
Buy me a new low profile gas block with pistol length tube, drill then new port, install old block with set screw in the old port and run it. Better than having a $120 S/S barrel laying around that nobody will buy unless pennies on the dollar.
That's a lot of fussing to get a 300 BLK rig to work right. What is it about this caliber that such tinkering is required, as opposed to 5.56?
