The amount of carbon blowing back into the action is much much worse on a suppressed ar and this is why the standard milspec trigger is six pounds.
    Do you have an adjustable gas block though?

    Still get dirty but nowhere near as bad

    Was so close to buying one of those 3T Stag ARs at the show for 2k with a couple of extras...
    Glad I waited (against everything in me saying "just buy it") have the same stock as you (and cylinder) sitting at home, which will save some money when I decide to build one through my mate. How do you find the stock ergonomic wise? Hear they are a bitch to fit.

    Is this a stock trigger and 1:9 twist barrel?

    Yeah I know right, CCard was burning a hole in my pocket! After conference with a mate who can build them, who said he would buy it..(which didn't help) but put a few things in perspective for me, and the wife (just off the back of our wedding) - although keen on the idea, helped me cool the jets a bit...I somehow convinced myself to put it off until xmas/next year. TBH, I wanted/needed to buy a range finder (vortex 1500 @ $800) otherwise I probably still would of done it lol. :/

    And yeah the 1:9 with stock trigger. They guy would of chucked in $175 polymer sights, an extra mag and an AR tool at $2k as well. Luckily I can still get 10% off through the company and I'm sure they will honer their deal later on if I don't find/build a better one. (Depending on import/exchange rate)

    I sometimes wonder what the practical point of a 9mm ar is when you have a 300blk, I also own both and font the only advantage the 9mm is is not having to make cases and slightly less fussy reloading
