I need to check the size of the gas port on my new rifle barrel. I shot it once after installing it and it is kicking way to hard for a 556 rifle length barrel. Either than or my T is low. Seriously though, my AR47 carbine is more pleasant to shoot than this thing. Is there an easy way to measure the size of the port on the barrel so I can communicate this to the vendor? Thanks |

DaveP1 gave you the easiest/most economical way to do it ^^^^^^
I use my trusty 115 piece Harbor Freight drill bit set. The wire gauge sized bits are handy for measuring small holes since they jump only a few thousandths from one to the next. HF 115PC SET |

Chances are the hole was drilled with a standard number drill bit.
So, find the one that fits. |
