Creepy-Ass Cracker
I'm doing some research and think I know the answer but wanted to see if anyone here knows anything about these setups.
I was originally going to roll with the mid-length gas system with a JP Enterprises adjustable gas block, but after reading several forums it seems like I should go with a carbine, or better yet pistol length gas system for the .300 Whisper cartridge.
Some say that an adjustable gas block is a must, while others say it's not necessary - but they seem to be dialing in for a specific load. The Noveske "switchblock" is popular, but you have to buy an upper from them to get it (not going to do that). There's this guy "tp555" on the quarterbore forums makes switchable gas blocks that seem pretty decent, and those that have them say they work well. From what I understand JP Enterprises makes good stuff, and although the set-screw type of adjustment isn't as quickly repeatable as a switch design, it does allow finer tuning.
What do you guys think? I'm leaning to a low-profile adjustable JP Enterprises block under my 9" DD rail with a pistol-length gas system.
