I'm working on a new build and came across the pigtail gas tube. Has anyone used one? The concept makes perfect sense... but I'm curious how well it runs and what the minimum inside diameter rail you'd have to run is?  

Linky

Any feedback?

Gimmick.  Doesn't increase dwell time.  Only a longer barrel does.

This. It's not gas tube length that matters, it's the distance from the chamber to the port.
