I see on your shop services you offer this.  Can you describe how this works, say in converting a carbine-gas system to ML?  How do you plug the original gas port, and is there any accuracy degradation from doing this?  Or can you only go from longer-to-shorter (rifle-ML, ML-carbine)?

we thread the current gas port, and screw in a plug that is tac welded in place. We can put a new port anywhere you want - just make sure where ever it goes you have the proper diameter for the gas block.


I've done this to my personal guns, and there is NO negative effect on accuracy.

Can you tell if there is excessive erosion around the original gas port?

  That would be very hard to see. I looked in one of Steve's and could not even see the old hole any longer. My guess is, without "flow" into the hole, it tends to pack with brass and in affect goes away. There has never been any issues with them.
