The trick gas plug does make sense in a user Garand that may have to eat road food and like it.
I looked at it like insurance. It does not affect the appearance of the gun at all. I have mine slowed down, its now a fun gun that may/will be shot with different loads, some probably hotter than mil spec. A plus is that it does not eject as vigorously and the spent brass piles up closer. You can store the original plug and a wrench to adjust the Schuster plug in the buttstock with no problem, so you can make adjustments if needed.
