For you guys that use the after market gas plug. If it's adjustable what are your points of reference for adjustment?
Do you simply close it so the rifle doesn't function then open it just far enough so that it does?

For you guys that use the after market gas plug. If it's adjustable what are your points of reference for adjustment?
Do you simply close it so the rifle doesn't function then open it just far enough so that it does?
Yes, ... and you're looking for a solid 1:30-200 ejection of the spent brass.
Then what happens when you switch ammo? Do you have to do it again?
Yes, ... not to mention that adjusting the internal screw inside the plug will alter POI. So, assuming you're zero-ed for 200yds, and you turn that screw - even using the
same ammo - expect that you'll need to re-zero it. Obviously, if you switch to
different ammo (say, another brand of factory "M1-safe" ammo), you'll still need to check and vet the POI, or re-zero it.
Understand that adjustable plugs (I use the ones from Schuster Mfg) are intended to allow you to safely shoot
ANY power-level of '06 ammo (like 180gn "hunting" ammo) without damaging the gas system or the op rod.
