Adjustable Gas Block with skelotonized carrier

Thinking about adding these to my upper to tune and reduce recoil. Anybody have any good experience with any particular makes of either or both

No ....only have added the carrier weight to a standard carrier....I really think you're going to put a lot of stress on the upper with a skeletonized carrier just to light....you need to remember the upper and standard carrier were designed for the 5.56 shooting 50-64 gr bullet some more or less.... 450 Bushmaster you're using 160-300 gr bullets ....put a lighter carrier and you're going to start beating parts up....not that it will brake the first or even the tenth shot but its not going to be good over time.....

I use Hoot's carrier weight system on all 450 Bushmaster's I have build.......viewtopic.php?f=2&t=799
