We all know the Marushin M1 Garand suffers from low gas capacity. So I was wondering, could you close up the dummy gas cylinder(or use a real one) drill a hole in the plug you inserted, and put in a 6mm air hose. Seal it up, with maybe some o-rings. Then drill a hole in the front of the gas reservoir and put the other end of the air hose there. Theoretically, the gas would expand into the dummy gas cylinder, allowing you to fill more. Thoughts?

I changed charging valve in my garand for the one from Sig P226 and full charge of gas allow me to fire 2.5-3 clips. Without blowback much more.

So you get the same number of clips with a little more blowback?

Without blowback I can fire ten clips for sure maybe more, I didnot calculate the maximum.

After looking through the old posts I have discovered the threading for the overflow valve is 1/8 NPT. Could I theoretically remove the overflow valve and put in a piece of threaded tubing that goes into the dummy gas cylinder, increasing capacity?
