Thanks for that, Doug.
I understand the reasoning and market for such a device, and I'm sure a number of cottage industries will spring up if necessity to convert ARs to a straight bolt configuration gets (legislative momentum). I have already achieved the same thing with an adjustable gas block. The gas port is controlled by a set screw. But, if a reversible solution was to be had, removing the tube and drill/tapping and plugging the barrel port would be but one way and a WHOLE LOT CHEAPER than using a new carrier...which may or may not be matched to the barrel nut (for accuracy nuts like us).
However, I can see how such a bolt would be extremely simple to install - converting a semi-auto to a straight bolt and back again.
Justa thought....
