I need a little help on a project...
I want to build a dedicated suppressor AR. I'm looking for a utility / hard use set up. I'm not sure I want to go down the SBR path so I'm leaning towards a 13.7 or 13.9 barrel length. I'll be using a Energetic Arms Vox S (308) can and would like to be able switch between 55 grain and 77 grain rounds without it changing the functional operation of the rifle. I don't know if pushing the gas system length to an intermediate will be of any benefit or not. If an intermediate gas system would be beneficial, can a chrome lined barrel be cut back without damaging the lining?
I don't know if an adjustable gas block, like PWS uses on their piston guns, exist for a DI application. But I like the idea of being able to switch between a few settings easily. I don't know if the suppressed gas system will behave differently using 55 grain & 77 grain ammo. Maybe it's a solution to a non-existant problem.
I'm not sure where to start on buffers and springs either.
If I do decide to go the SBR route, I would go 10.3 or 10.5 - same question on the gas block.
Thanks in advance.
