[QUOTE="vdub, post: 1487091, member: 6845"] I never had any issues running a 10.5" barrel and suppressor. I am sure there might be bullets that could not be stabilized in a 10.5" barrel. The key to this is to test any new ammo without the suppressor on. If the bullets are not making nice little round holes in the paper.....don't shoot it through your suppressor. That bullet might make extra holes in your suppressor. Just use common sense, test without the suppressor first, and you will be ok. Not all those gas blocks just turn the gas off. A lot of them have a reduced gas setting which allows less gas to flow back for cycling the bolt/bcg. With suppressor, the pressure is usually greater than normal shooting so more gas goes back into the upper receiver causing harsher cycling and the upper getting dirtier faster. With the lower gas setting, this reduces that effect. Realize the upper and all internal components will get dirtier fastger regardless, it is just reduced some with the lower gas setting. The no gas setting basically turns your AR into a bolt rifle if you want something like that. [/QUOTE]
