I have a pair of AR's with 18 inch barrels and rifle length gas systems that won't run.
1st gun: 18" White Oak 1-8 rifle length with a .100 port.  A5 buffer system running a sprinco green and an H1 buffer.  Won't run anything but American Eagle 55 grain.  Everything else is short stroking.

2nd gun: BA 18" 1-8 rifle length with a .094 port.  Carbine length buffer system with a sprinco Yellow and a standard 3.0 oz buffer.  Same situation
It is cold here at about 20 degrees.  I'm loading Hornady 75 gr BTHP with 24.0 grains of TAC
hoping the hive mind can produce some suggestions before I launch one of these POS' off a cliff.

I have a psa 18'' rifle length barrel that wouldn't run. It had a .088 gas port. I opened it up to .104 and it has been flawless ever since. Of course, ymmv.

Gas block alignment is critical.
