eclancy oughta have some data about the design pressure at the gas port. I've read--albeit decades ago--that it was around 2,000 psi, but don't take my memory as Gospel.
Art, IIRC, and I could be wrong here too.... the gas port pressure the M1 is supposed to have for correct function is in the 4000 to 6000 psi range.
Best,
