We are specifically talking about this Dracos barrel, which apparently adjusts gas tube length but not the gas port location, if I understand correctly. Your argument about changing the port location with tube length is an attempt at misdirection away from the point of the discussion. We all know that changing port position affects dwell time. My initial comment was that changing gas tube length without changing the gas port has no affect on dwell time.
Ok.....so this is the first time in any of your statements you have specified “changing gas tube length WITHOUT changing gas port location “ . All I’ve been tryin to drive home is that changing the length of your gas tube changes the location of the gas port this deff changing dwell time!
As for the DRACOS (awesome barrels by the way) I do not believe the adjustment screw actually changes the gas port location. But as stated it’s also my understanding that it’s not an adjustable gas block either. So..... idk yet. I was not the one saying it did or didn’t on those specific barrels. And as for the pigtail gas tubes other than my “lmao” comment , again , wasn’t my statement. I just kept saying that “gas tube length does in fact change dwell time simply because it requires the gas port be moved” that’s it. Yond kept screaming “gas tube length has nothing to do with it” . It clearly does.

While we're at it, here's another example of how gas tube length has nothing to do with dwell time:
Consider a 20" barrel with rifle length gas, and a 22" barrel with rifle+2 gas. Both have the same port to muzzle distance and dwell time (ignoring minor velocity differences from barrel length) but different length gas tubes. Gas tube length does not determine or affect dwell time; it's a result of a factor that does affect dwell time, but not the cause. Understanding cause and effect is important.

That's what we started talking about, and that's what we're still talking about. That's what you took offense to me commenting on. None of the rest of that fluff matters.
I think you know full well what I've been saying here but just want to argue, so I don't see any need to continue.
