I would like to run the Faxon 12" barrel because of the barrel being short and nitrided for barrel life/corrosion resistance. I do plan on running this both suppressed and un-suppressed and having a quick gas adjust would be nice. I am looking at going the Noveske Switchblock route. At the moment they only have 5.56 and 6.8 SPC "tunings" for the system. For carbine gas systems they have 14.5-16", 12.5", 11.5", 10.5" barrels in 5.56, and 12.5" barrels for 6.8 SPC. If I go with the Switchblock route, what setup should I use? I will message Noveske as well and see if they could possibly help.
...to be honest, I suggest an AGB that has a larger/wider & "finer" range of adjustment.
My personal preference is SLR AGB's having used them since their Gen 1's, in multiple calibers and gas system types (pistol, carbine, mid & rifle). Due the variances in the gas journals, I find the "clamp" type AGB's to encounter fewer problems with leakage and I personally have never encountered any "loosening" over the years. I've also never experienced "carbon lock", but after use I run the adjustment screw out-in-out-in-out-in-original setting to "auger off" any carbon build up.
