We know there are a multitude of variables that come into play in having a direct impingement suppressor host that can run well with and with out can. Examples are below.
- Barrel length
- Adjustable gas block
- Gas system (pistol,carbine,midlength,intermediate,rifle)
- Gas port size
- Gas tube OD
- BCG (i.e Surefire)
- Buffer weight/Type
- Spring
- Receiver extension length (i.e A5)
There must be some combination of above that is MOST optimal for use with and without can. There will always be a give and take. A system that is perfect with suppressor on, will sacrifice some reliability with suppressor off and vice versa. With that said, there is some combination that gets closest to being optimal for both situations.
People have tried various combos and have had success. Pew Science has shown some incredible results with 11.5 Mid-length uppers. Sound signature and recoil impulse are incredible with that set up.
Are there "turn key" factory set ups that will do the job decently well? MK18 has been tried and true and DD has changed gas port sizes for a few years now.
I get that building is attractive to some, however I find value in ready to go factory systems that will work right out of the box.
Anyone have any other experiences with factory DI systems that are good suppressor hosts without sacrificing reliability without suppressor?
