There is a wealth of disinformation out there and I've wasted a few thousand dollars trying to get a 308 AR running with a can. If you have a suppressed rifle with a low round count that you don't actually shoot, please don't chime in. I realize how rude that is, but I really don't want to blow more money on stuff that doesn't work but is photogenic.
In front of me, I have my DMPS G2 with an SLR adjustable gas block, Vltor A5 receiver extension, and 8.5oz heavy buffer. It does not work. I am not interested in fixing it. The adjustable gas block and the receiver extension with heavy buffer were both guaranteed to work, but $400 later the gun is exactly the same. I can find 50 threads of people saying they would work.
I've tried DPMS, DPMS G2, and Quentin Defense. I've bought aftermarket "DPMS pattern" receiver sets that do not accept DPMS pattern parts. I literally went to a DPMS crate and tried dozens of their receivers, uppers and lowers, and wasn't able to find two that worked together. I went to GAP and asked them about running a gasser with a can and they said don't bother, they don't recommend it.
Is there a modern gas gun in 308 that can function with a silencer? Have you actually done it?
I am in AZ, so I'm going to reach out to POF and see if I can test fire one of their units. It's sad to me that every gasser AR15 I've touched has worked perfectly, but not one 308 AR that worked at all.
