Years ago Noveske barrels were unobtanium when I built my .300. I found a brand new one on the EE, I was very lucky. 8.5" and works perfectly with everything I load for it, subs and supers. The Noveske came with a low pro gas block and tube. There was a solid steel dowel type pin for the gas block and the barrel was pre-drilled, so there was absolutely no doubt about getting it lined up.
I use it with or without a Gemtech HVT, but mostly with.
I do recall I used one powder that it was completely incompatible with in a sub, but luckily it was a small test batch.
Can anyone drill your port a bit bigger for you? I wouldn't suggest doing it yourself, because I could easily see a bit snapping off in the hole.
ADCO can probably cut and thread their 10.3" DD barrel to a suitable length. They did a short 9mm barrel for me when I couldn't find one anywhere. Call them.
