Has anyone experienced feeding problems when using a suppressor on their AR platform? I have a POF AR10 and their website specifically states problems can be encountered when using a suppressor. The gun will fire and the next round will not cycle into the chamber. Tried different ammo.

Suppressor problem on AR10

Yes and it was in the suppressor position. I have a Banish 30 from Silencer Central.
Was it running properly before you used a suppressor? What position was your AGB in when not using a suppressor?

look into an adjustable gas block for your rifle... examine the gas block closely... Is it adjustable?
Yes the gun was working properly. The rifle has a 3 position gas block. Normal, suppressed and off. I ran it in suppressed and normal. I started with 145 grain ammo and it would not eject the spent casing properly. Went to 175 grain and it ejected properly but would not load the new round. My thought is there's not enough gas to force the bolt back completely so the bolt isn't catching the new round. POFs website says that poor operation can be experienced if using a suppressor.
Too much gas or too little gas can cause issues. The fact that you say it didn’t eject the round makes me think not enough gas. But you can have so much gas that the carrier fails to grab a round from the mag bc it’s moving too fast.
Does the carrier feel violent or sluggish when you fire it? When it’s sluggish you can feel it change directions during recoil. When it’s violent it feels like one quick motion.
Edit- if this is a piston system I’m not sure if any of the above will be helpful.
