Have not shot with the suppressor yet, this weekend if all goes well.




Adams Arms 11.5 upper.

Range report. Using 55gr reloads with 25gr h335 it shorts strokes when gas is set to the suppressed position. I did not have factory ammo to test. Damn that is my standard load. Do I have to load them hotter to cycle properly or will it break in .






When gas is set at 12 o'clock works fine, is that over gassed when suppressed and is there any harm done ?

Overgassed is often subjective.  Does the brass go flying into the next county?  Does the gun run rough?  I'm going to guess not, because you're running a .30 cal suppressor.  Adams' suppressed setting is for running a 5.56 gun with a 5.56 suppressor.  Your larger caliber suppressor probably doesn't give enough back pressure to run with the suppressed setting.

Update: faculty ammo all is good when gas is set to supressed. Reloads when the gas is set on non-supressed (or full gas) for reliable cycling, the shells all land in the same spot as factory, around 3oclock. Im going to call it good.
