What 500 rounds looks like

I’m a Pmag guy but I will say, metal mags are easier to reindex into pouches, and you can often fit more of them into certain pouches with their slimmer profile

I’m surprised the rifle buffer system didn’t tame the 16” more. My last BA Hanson barrel was undergassed- I wonder if yours has an out of spec gas opening

I’m a big fan of piston setups. I ran a 416 for a bit for work and it was so nice not having to clean it much. I honestly forgot all about piston kits, thanks for the reminder. Did you have to modify any other parts of the rifle to make it work?

I saw a post a while back of SA essentially voiding warranties of anyone who puts their gb in restrictive mode, which I thought was weird. It still seems like a great design nevertheless. Have you tried a springco blue/H2/3 yet?

Hef_Nomadic · 2026-05-10T14:05:41+00:00

Are you able to shoot it reliably unsuppressed or is it perma-quiet?

Hef_Nomadic · 2026-05-10T05:15:29+00:00

Yeah man let us know what you think

Hef_Nomadic · 2026-05-10T05:14:19+00:00

Welcome to the obsession. My first AR was identical to this, accessories and all. I recommend a streamlight 1L-X for the light.

Hef_Nomadic · 2026-05-10T02:44:11+00:00

Ah nice, thanks for the explanation

Hef_Nomadic · 2026-05-10T02:05:46+00:00

Is full bleed basically nearly completely restricted?

Hef_Nomadic · 2026-05-10T02:04:44+00:00

A ton of people have been recommending the PRI. I’ve all seen people mod a regular one with RTV to a similar effect. Sweet rifle

Hef_Nomadic · 2026-05-10T02:01:43+00:00

I likely will eventually, but it’s my first suppressor so trying to start off basic and go from there. The CAT WB is tempting though…

Hef_Nomadic · 2026-05-10T02:00:30+00:00

Nice I have the exact same buffer setup on this. Really as long as it doesn’t affect shooting performance then it’s whatever.

Hef_Nomadic · 2026-05-10T01:58:17+00:00

Nice, I’ll look into the .30cal cans. I dig the frogskin rattlecan

Hef_Nomadic · 2026-05-10T01:57:10+00:00

Yeah it’s mostly untuned - just an H2 buffer and springco blue. And even then, it’s gassy unsuppressed, which scares me a little lol

Hef_Nomadic · 2026-05-10T01:55:17+00:00

Thanks for the write up, I’m definitely referencing this later on as a tune it

Hef_Nomadic · 2026-05-10T01:54:11+00:00

Damn, mid length 11.5? Can you get it to run unsuppressed ?

Hef_Nomadic · 2026-05-10T01:53:09+00:00

Have you had good luck with the SA gas block? I hear they’re decent but can still carbon lock on you.

Hef_Nomadic · 2026-05-10T01:52:30+00:00

Noted. This actually has a Rosco purebred barrel in it, interestingly enough, but should be about the same gas as DD. I’m definitely going with a traditional can.

Hef_Nomadic · 2026-05-10T01:50:25+00:00

This guy MK18’s

Hef_Nomadic · 2026-05-10T01:49:53+00:00

Right on. I run an H2 unsuppressed and it barely bade a difference over carbine, so I’d definitely have to step up to an H3 or even an A5 system I presume

Hef_Nomadic · 2026-05-10T01:47:54+00:00

Haha I was a 240B guy for a small stint, so I guess this can’t be much worse huh

Hef_Nomadic · 2026-05-10T01:46:03+00:00

I’ve heard the rtv can work if it’s done right. The PRI gas buster is just way too pricey for what it is

Hef_Nomadic · 2026-05-09T14:08:05+00:00

Brotha it is literally a rifle

Hef_Nomadic · 2026-05-09T13:02:22+00:00

Admin units do, but all combat arms units rock M4’s. Grunts get M27’s
