Can I ask where you got a 26" pipe from? I can't find anything over a 20"

I
Like odin works, aero precision, and black rain, but black rain may have went away from thier click adjustable one. I would call them before I bought another one of their. Some people like the bleed off type, but I prefer to use ones that only send back the gas need so the rest goes out the barrel.
Primary use is mostly a plinker, take some of the PRESSURE off of my larger, more expensive to shoot rifles. Before I broke it, my gas gun got a fair amount of trigger time.
It's hard, tho.... I really like my boomer.
I like slr for 1st pic then Odin for 2nd.
Go custom like x-cal or another maker like white oak if they have 1.
If you are looking for pure velocity out of a .308 Win in a gas gun bullet weight would help. Gas guns are really not much of a max velocity rifle, and as you have experienced I would expect damage and wearing things out super fast.

Don't have much experience with semi auto reloading, some, but little and was not attempting what you are, but every other platform I have loaded for cannot handle what bolt guns do. Break open single shot, rolling block single shots, pump guns, lever guns, and I'm sure I'm missing something I tinkered with over the last forty years just do not take the pressure a bolt gun routinely handles. My latest project was a Savage 99 in 308 Win. I started experiencing pressure problems with very moderate loads, so I backed off and settled. It's fine out to about 250 and that's probably 150 more than I would ever shoot it at game as it will be a carry gun in the timber. I had to send a Ruger Number One back to Ruger once because a half grain jump in powder was way too much. Ruger was amazing, fixed the rifle, no charge, even buffed out a scratch in the stainless receiver I put in it crossing a fence. If you get done what you're attempting my guess it will be time consuming and expensive, but I wish you the best.
My DPMS LR 308 came with a 26 " pipe, when it was brand new, the guy I bought it from brought it to RockRiver Arms and a RRA 2 stage trigger was put in

I owned several gas 16" 308 rifles, was frustrated with performance for years. Down to 2 now, an AR10 and a SCAR. Bought a case of SOST MK319 130g OTM a few years ago mostly as an investment in brass, but that round changed my thinking. Velocity is 2900+fps. I duplicated that performance with Barnes 130g TTSX and Varget and LC brass. If I want to shoot deer past 400yd I take a different rifle, most shots are 1-200. The 150sst is as heavy as I go now, only because it's cheaper and just as accurate and also hammers stuff.
I have a RR lar308 that came with a 26", so there are a few out the with 26" barrels in semi-autos.
My DPMS SASS seems to prefer lighter loads. I know I'm 2-3 grains under max with the Accurate 4064. They print as well as factory target rounds but only at 100-200M. Maybe I ought try loading up>?
PS I FOOLISHLY rran a few thru my M1 Garand in .308. WHOOPS! Those bad boys can double tap with light rounds! Who knew?

I also have a DPMS LightWeight Hunter in 260Rem, all factory & a DPMS GII multi-cal in 243 all factory
Both 20" pipes
lol not sure what the multi cal designates, I'll have to look again

I don't try to run a gas gun to max load.
I have a great load with my 308 ar10 using TAC and 150 grain, 11.25 twist. It had two velocity nodes and was really simple.
My 6.5 CM shoots great with an RL17/120 grain load that two of my bolt guns like
