dmshozer1 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Is anyone running a Ballistic Arms "Hanson" 16" Premium mid length gas barrel for 3gun? It comes with a non adj. gas block. Gas port size is .068. Small compared to most that are around .080 or so. Being that small I wonder if I will see a difference by using a adj block with my hoser puff ball loads. Or if at that small size will even run my hozer loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Dave, unless you are running real bunny fart hoser ammo, it should be good without an adjustable gas block. That's why the port is smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why the port is smaller. Just made an adj gas block out of the non-adjustable one. Get back to you after I get it together and test to see if it was worth the effort. They are bunny farts Dan!

TRUBL Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Have you shot it yet? .060 seems stupid small.......I had an Adam's Arms mid length barrel with a port that small and I could not get factory Fiocchi 55 grain loads to cycle the action. I opened it up to .084 and it works fine now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it together today with the adj. gas block. Had a problem getting the upper to fit the lower. Between Dan and myself and a dremel, it now fits. Locked back two turns out with my hoser loads. Very soft for a mid length gas, light weight barrel. Have to wait for a better day weather wise to sight it in. Happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
