Is this a typo?

Anyone have experience w these?

Overgassed? Or good to go?

How’s the accuracy?

Thanks!

I have a Bushmaster barrel with an .089 Dia. gas hole . It works very well .

Good to know, thank you.

I cross-posted to the AR forum and got some additional responses: https://www.ar15.com/forums/AR-15/Proper-gas-port-size-093-for-16-mid-length-Faxon-gunner-/118-763060/

That appears to be a typo. That barrel should have a .081" ± .001" gas port.
