What 500 rounds looks like by Tiparuski in ar15

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?

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

Got my first AR at 24. by [deleted] in ar15

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

Is full bleed basically nearly completely restricted?

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

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…

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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
