I had a 260 ar-10 built and it seems a little "vigorous" ejecting spent cases. To guys running these should I go with an adjustable gas block or heavy buffer and spring ( and which ones you run).

Re: 260 ar-10 question
You can try both as adding weight changes the feel of the rifle. I have a SSS (David Tubb's Superior Shooting Systems)Chrome Silicon flat spring and the carrier weight (carrier weight makes assembly a little more difficult) and also an adjustable gas block. The spring and weight change the feel of the rifle as it cycles and can be disconcerting for position shooting.

Re: 260 ar-10 question
I've run Tubb's CWS and spring for seveal years in my AR10T and I like what it did to felt recoil, also how it tamed cycling with my hand loads. Dos'nt seam "as" needed on my AR10A2 which I shoot factory fodder through. Honestly though, I think all AR10's should run adjustable gas blocks. Just a very useable option on the 10's. JMHO.

Re: 260 ar-10 question
That's exactly where I learned about this.
We do it so we don't pelt our neighbors with brass because we line up fairly closely, and our brass remains in a neat pile within our lane, free from dents.
If it weren't totally reliable, none of us would do it.

Re: 260 ar-10 question
Thanks for all the input. I think I may try a combination of things one at a time. I like Hamiltons idea and it makes functional since especially with 260 brass. If I can keep from banging it up that would be great. I do feel from the recoil pulse the 260 is a little" overgased" and might benefit from a heavy buffer and the gas block. Thats the way I went with my grendel and it puts brass in one nice neat pile about 3 feet away.
Thanks for the help.
