My first rifles and carbines were made with 5 ounce carbine buffers and 7 ounce rifle buffers. I've since tried a Superlative Arms gas block with a lightweight bolt carrier and empty buffer; it was easy to tune and gave bizarrely light recoil. Today I tried an Odin Works adjustable on a 13.7 midlength, and I'm not impressed with the result. Good enough accuracy, but it went from cycling at 4:30 and locking back directly to not ejecting in just one click. When I tune with bolt carriers and buffer weights, I often hit a point at which the rifle cycles but doesn't lock the bolt back.
My question: Has anyone used a Yankee Hill Suppressor gas block without any suppressor, and gotten it to cycle/lock back with just reduced weight bolt carrier and buffer? It has a .054 or .055 gas port. https://yhm.net/new-products/suppressor-gas-block/
