11.5" with carbine Gas system. Ran it with a standard and H buffer and it kept short cycling. WTF-O

Gas key is staked properly. Don't think it's the gas block. I'll have to have rob check it out

I have heard of some guys having to open the gas port a bit. You may want to try a lighter spring as well.

Another +1 to check the gas block alignment and the tube.

add O-ring or upgrade extractor spring. Had the same problem with my 7.5"

Add a suppressor to increase the gas pressure and duration :)
