Full time suppressor host or no ?For a SHTF rifle would I be better off just buying the 16" or getting the 20" and cutting it down?
I figure the rifle length gas system would be easier on the bolt but would it reliably cycle whatever I might have to use for ammo?
I'm curious about chopping a 20" myself. I think it should still work fine with the gas wide open and it would be better with a can.
One of the videos of a 16" suppressed still looked to be chunking brass in the 2:30-3 o'clock range but from what people say there seems to be little or no gas in the face so is there really a need to cut a 20 down or is it just my own personal preference to make it easier on the gun and the brass ?
I'm on the fence as far as 16" or 20"
If I buy a 16 and don't like the way it is suppressed I can sell it. If I buy a 20 and Chop it and it doesn't work out I'm stuck with it. Or it goes back to ruger for a new tube. Or I rob its barrel extension and it gets a custom barrel. Decisions decisions.
