Odin works barrel (18" with rifle length gas system)  and adjustable gas block, BK firearms receivers, brownells buffer tube/buffer and spring (collapsible), AIM surplus NIB BCG,
rifle will not cycle with wolf, will fire, not cycle, same thing with PMP, and other "cheaper ammo" only works with the gas block pretty much wide open and hunting ammo.
gas port measures .093, everything is lubed, been inspected etc...cannot figure out why this thing is a gas hog, ejection is at about 4 o clock and about 10' away. would like it to run with some of the cheaper stuff as well.....suggestions?

5.56? How many rounds through it? I would check gas block alignment over the port first. Then, if you eliminated all other potential issues (gas leaks, BCG defect, chamber condition, etc), you may have to increase your gas port size. 18" barrels with rifle length gas seem to have port sizes all over the place, with 0.093" about in the middle. Daniel Defense ports at 0.099", some port over 0.100". I don't see any harm if done properly since you're running an AGB. You may want to call Odin and get their opinion/permission first for warranty purposes.
