so if .223 wylde is suppose to give you the best crossover performance regarding .223 and 5.56 , why is it manufacturers of AR15 rifles simply do not just produce .223 wylde exclusively

well , i got a 18 inch fluted stainless .223 Wylde barrel for a build , rifle length gas, because its a stainless barrel i feel its best to do a stainless gas block ,
im almost ready to pull the trigger on the Suplerative Arms adjustable bleed off , will be using a Hogue overmold tube FF handguard , my concern lays on the "Bleedoff" design of the gasblock
since its a rifle length port placement, the stainless barrel is a matte finish ,and the overmold handguard has rubber texture , that i will experience excessive carbon build up externally , at very least worried there will be way more than usual
this build is not a utility rifle build , more so a planned out tasteful what i always called a pretty boy rifle so i dont want to be scrubbing carbon off the barrel and the overmold HG
does anyone have real world experience with adjustable "bleed off" type gas blocks , are my concerns valid or am i G2G , i understand im going to experience some external carbon ,especially during initial break in period until the gas system seals up , this is to be expected even with a more traditional GB , i weighed cleaning maintenance when choosing the barrel and understand with the type of barrel finish there will be a different regiment , im just wanting to avoid a black barrel after a couple hundred rds because that would be a drag, and when choosing which rifle to take out the PITA cleaning may cause it to become a safe queen , you know , because im lazy
thanks
I have good luck with the .223 Wylde chamber on match rifles, but I don't think it would be a good chamber for a service rifle or carbine. I've seen pressure issues with some cartridges, when running carbine courses, which may be why the manufacturers don't use the Wylde .223 chamber exclusively.
Manufacturers have test equipment for measuring chamber pressures and high-speed cameras for observing bolt speeds, which most of us do not have access to. I've seen noticeable differences in muzzle velocities when shooting the same ammunition through rifles with 5.56mm chambers and .223 Wylde chambers and I suspect that would be a clue to differences in chamber pressures. Without access to the proper test equipment, that's just speculation on my part. Industry professionals directly involved in testing should be able to give us better insight.
