Have you ever actually fired a suppressed semi precision rifle? (1) There is no gas in the face (2) There are no other problematic issues - no ejection problems, no cleaning problems, no over pressure problems, no bolt override problems, no adjustable gas block problems.
Now, people who don't know what they are doing have LOTS of problems.
And people who don't know what they are talking about envision lots of problems that don't exist.
But people who've educated themselves thru actual experience just aren't experiencing problems. In all honesty, this thread reads like so many anti gunners who have no actual experience with suppressors, but wax eloquent as to their opinions about suppressors. They repeat the same misinformation and errors I'm reading here.

Out of curiosity, did you replace both the hammer and trigger springs? I just replaced the trigger spring and so far it's never failed on any factory ammo.
I was just about to start in on my 308 reload project now that I've finished working over my larger hunting calibers. I'll be using federal match primers so hopefully that won't be an issue with light strikes.
Really, dude? Pardon me for asking, but...are you a special kind of stupid? Your bullshit attitude isn't needed so unless you have something to actually contribute, stop mucking up the topic.
Have I used a suppressor on a semi auto precision rifle? Yes, I have. Anymore questions?
There is no gas in the face, really?
Damn...I hope everyone who bought a PRI Gas Buster charging handle doesn't find out about that because they're gonna be pissed off after having bought something that provides no benefit. Granted, there's less with a piston rifle than with a DI, but it's still there.
For someone who thinks he knows what he's talking about, you don't know crap from Crisco so perhaps you should shut the hell up and sit your ass down.
As the bullet exits the muzzle and into the can all the Gas, Carbon, Unburnt powder Etc now sneaks into the muzzle and back into the bore and even as far as the chamber.
This happens every time you pull the trigger with the can on and is what is called back pressure. What it causes is a fouled bore, and a dirty chamber, as the chamber gets dirty the cases cant stick to the chamber walls and pressure rises causing ejection problems.
also because your dwelling the gas curve longer and sharper your rifle that normally runs great with the can off now over-gasses and is hard on brass and can overrun the bolt and cause malfunctions.
This thread got weird all of a sudden.
