I have an 8.5" it runs fine.
I think it was from PSA. I suspect you have a very large gas hole. |

I anticipated that response, but hate to sink much more money into this thing. Any suggestions for a decent, affordable adjustable gas block? I’m looking online, but not sure where to start. Don’t really want to put a Ferrari part in my Poison Pinto...

$50-70 for a block is pretty reasonable IMO

Get a BRT reduced port gas tube it'll help and there like 30 bucks.

Have you tried a different BCG?
How does the recoil feel? Personally I've never had a problem with radical. I've used a couple barrels and a barreled upper but never thier BCG. I'm wondering if it's really over gassed or you've got a weak ejector. I don't know how the hell it's chewing up your rail. That's crazy! I don't know how that's even possible. |

Adjustable gas block.
I used this on another pistol and it works well $19.95. With shipping a little over $28. You may want to keep the H3 buffer with the AGB from the sounds of it. BTW, with the right ammo that pistol doesn't have to be a range toy. Luth Adjustable Gas Block |

I'm wondering if it's really over gassed or you've got a weak ejector. I don't know how the hell it's chewing up your rail. That's crazy! I don't know how that's even possible. I agree, it is bizarre. It currently (and in the photos below) has a nickel PSA bolt carrier group, but I have tried my BCM BCGs, my RRA BCGs and another “premium” PSA BCG (chuckling to myself after typing that) and have had the same results with all of them. I guess I will go ahead and get the adjustable gas block, hopefully that will fix it, but again, I’ve never seen anything eject that way. There is a little black touch up paint over some of the marring, but you can still see it in the pics below. Not only has it been chewing up the rail, but also chewing up the forward part of the ejection port. Good times.  Attached File Attached File Attached FileETA: someone above mentioned it could be a weak extractor, but I have used a BCM extractor spring upgrade kit on all of the BCGs that I use for anything shorter than 14.5”. They all work great in everything else, I’m pretty sure it’s not the BCG. |

WOW
What does you brass look like? Bent rims? Big dent mid-case? Case mouth chewed up after chewing up the rail? Never seen this, exciting! |

I wish it were exciting, but it’s actually just really irritating (and an expensive waste of ammo). Admittedly, I should’ve inspected the spent brass. Definitely saw large dents in the middle of the stove piped casings after dislodging them, but did not inspect the rims or mouthes of those that didn’t jam. (and the non-jammers were obviously the culprits) Oops... That said, I was by myself every time at an indoor range that is always littered with tons of spent brass everywhere, like peanut shells on the floor of a Texas steakhouse. Not to mention the crazy-ass, rail-beating, unpredictable ricochet trajectories of the ejected cases. I have no idea where the hell they ended up. In retrospect, and thanks to your inquiry, next time I’ll mark the rounds before firing them so I can locate them for inspection. Thanks for your polite, if unintended nudge.  |

Aero Precision makes a GTG Adj. GB... just gotta find one in stock.
https://www.aeroprecisionusa.com/adjustable-gas-block-750-low-profile And you might try some Velcro attached to your case deflector ... cut to fit, adhesive backed, the fuzzy part. |

Had same issue with 7.5 barrel. Round fired then jammed. Got adjustable gas block. Solved problems. No jams, in process of finding right setting for adjustable gas block.
Not an expert, just trying to help. |

Looking at your photo, is the brass deflector (hump behind the ejection port) have a significant amount of brass markings on it?
If so the brass could be hitting the deflector and "bouncing" forward into the rail. Definitely needs an adjustable gas block (in my opinion) assuming a .750 diameter I like this gas block (when in stock), very easy to adjust and doesn't carbon up as bad as some others: https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-custom-750-diameter-click-adjustable-gas-block-7811021.html |

Ejecting forward that much makes me think your carriers travel distance may be the issue. Is the rear of the ejection port also getting chewed up? The front of the bolt should stop about 1/8'' forward of the rear of the port cut out when fully charged rearward. If the bolt is traveling too far rearward, it can allow the casing to bounce off the rear of the cut out rather than the deflector---- bouncing directly forward. Adding quarters as spacers at the rear of the buffer tube is an easy way to shorten travel distance.

I had the same exact issue with my son’s 7.5”... the ejection pattern was actually 12:00-12:30 and with slow motion video found that it was so over gassed that the case was ejecting so early and with such force that brass was bouncing off the case deflector and kicking the empty brass forward into the rail and to the 12 o’clock position. Other times, it was ejecting so quickly that the empty case would be bounced back into the ejection port and jam UNDER the next live round.
As others have said, an adjustable gas block fixed it perfectly and now 1,000 rounds later has been flawless.... |

It was super easy to adjust (only have 5 rounds through it so far). My only concern is that the product listing says not to use it on a pistol length gas system, so probably a no go for OP. |
