Huh. IIRC, CMMG specifically recommends and incorporates on their RDB uppers an enlarged vertical dimension ejection port for reliable ejection. Ammo dependent and CMMG wants to sell a product that will reliably operate with a wide variety of ammo? CMMG wants the shooter to experience a complete face full of ejection port gas?
MHO, YMMV, etc. Be well.
ETA: Another thought, perhaps the more complete gas purging from an enlarged ejection port provides reduced contanimation buildup on the RDB bolt and key components, thus providing more cycles of consistent and reliable RDB operation?
ETA: Perhaps the enlarged ejection port on their RDB uppers is like the Cyclops lens crystal on a Rolex watch. Not only does the Cyclops lens crystal have functional value as it makes the date easier to read, it is also a mark of distinction. But in doing so, it makes the watch thicker thus has potential for more easily being scratched. The yin and the yang.
