You can, I use a higher mount for a red dot for work and for shits and giggles mounted my 1-8 on a riser to get about the same height..wasn’t bad

I attempted painting my buddy’s rifle. I used a combo of stencils, art sponges, and a laundry bag. I think it turned out pretty good looking. I’ve never painted a rifle camo before, but I think I may finally have worked up the nerve to do a few of my own. I’m interested to hear what you guys think.
Short of eventually SBR'ing it, I think my SpecWar is just about completely refined now.
The 12.5 mid length + LMT E-BCG/Bolt + A5 system w/ Geissele Super42 is laughably smooth and reliable.

Pew Research found something similar as well. Ironically, it’s actually quieter using .300 supers and is super quiet with .308 supers as well. Pew thinks it has to do with the zero backpressure design requiring higher pressures (supersonic) for the HUX Flow design to be effective.
I have used a TBAC Ultra-9 on the same gun and it is quieter with subs than the HUX, but it pushes a huge gas cloud into your face, so I’ll take less gas and more noise. I’m eager to check out HUX’s forthcoming Flow can based on their new design.
This is an open question to anyone using the HuxWrx suppressors. Do you find that when you add the suppressor the POI shifts a little too much? On my 7.62 and 5.56 OSS HX QD there is a very large shift. For example they drop at least 6 inches at 50 yards. While my Surefire suppressors barely have any shift.
I have two of the HuxWrx 5.56 and two of the 7.62 and they all have a downward shift of POI. I have 1 Surefire Socom 7.62 and two of the Socom 5.56 and there is very little shift on all of the Surefires I own.

When I had a 12.5” barrel, I noticed little to no zero shift. My 16” barrel saw a bit of a shift. When mounted to a 20” heavy barrel bolt rifle, I saw no shift. I have not shot my 308 gasser without it.
This is from an OSS Helix 762 QD. Former company of Huxwrx.
I have a OSS 5.56 TI and there is some shift, more on lighter barrels. It really isn't surprising hanging a weight on the end of your barrel changes the POI. 6" at 50 yards seems excessive, have you double checked alignment?
I have not. However, one of the rifles is from Meridian Defense 14.5 pinned and welded OSS brake and the other is a Knights 11.5" barrel. I would imagine that Meridian Defense lined it up before it left their facility.
Using the Socom suppressors on a Knights 14.5" SBR and the other is a Rifle Dynamics 14.5 with pinned and welded Socom brake. Very minimal shift on these rifles. I am using these rifles for my experience/ example because I had all of the out the other day shooting and had to zero all of them.
You can shoot a gun unsuppressed? Isn’t that, like, a capital offense?
going to see how well the Faxon barrel performs
+1 for Triarc barrel. Appropriately gassed for hot 55gr 223.
Man, quad rails just look weird now!
I was going through my cage yesterday and was playing with my old work sbr and it had the old seekins BAR rail on it..couldn’t get over how strange it looks now lol
SPR? More like Syrah, Pinot, and Riesling. Youre gonna catch a beating if there are gun oil stains on the pottery barn ‘live laugh love’ art. Hehe, nice gun though.
I knew I should've taken a picture out by the pool instead 
She pretty
I dig the naked welded 17-4. My cans are all 17-4 guts, but I'm not THAT guy when it comes to being set up for welding like that. So they got Ti tubes hiding their true beauty 
She pretty
It's a great suppressor. Works great for both precision bolt guns and ar15's. Very well made, good suppression, great accuracy and low backpressure.
Rock River Mock12 20" - Hands-down the most accurate rifle I own across all categories. Had a handful of scopes on it over the years.
Main squeeze at the moment. Not quite as accurate, but still nearly sub moa with Hornady 75 Black and 69 FGMM. Slowly getting it cline correct, NF rings are next on the docket.

I was doing a theme build based upon Master Sergeant Gary Gordon's Colt Model 723 as seen in Black Hawk Down. Sadly this picture was taken the day before Canada made all AR rifles illegal so this is as far as the build got.
BCM 14.5" that's now wearing an XPS2, soon to be swapped for an EXPS and have a DBAL added for a night hunting setup once I finally get a PVS-14.
Acog was light and looked the best but the 4X left me wanting more.
PST 1-6 was just portly and ended up on my Henry .357

It's just a mount and the serialized base part of the can. Just looks like a bunch of stacked mounts.
That build is pushing an A5H2 with Lantac ebcg and I requested gassing for A5H1 with milspec bcg. With the specified components, it is a wee overgassed. With the heavy components , it is soft shooting. But this is a clone, not a modern spr.
76 is the brt tube size which replicates a 73. But yeah, even a 73 port is over gassed.
New rifle, still getting it set up how I want and eventually will put a nicer lpvo and mount. But figured in the meantime you guys might appreciate a radian with an unpainted Nomad L
Thanks, just a good ole' 223 wylde barrel in there. I just wanted a decent 14.5 AR. I do plan on moving the scoutlight to the other side and trying a surefire switch that I have, I'm newer to using lights so still figuring that part out.
That's a tough question to answer with any genuine scientific basis. I can only address this from three decades of empirical observation. This ability to observe accurately is heavily clouded by what I like or have had extraordinary good luck with in past practical application.
Example:
I know I shoot better suppressed. Do my rifles shoot better suppressed, or do I shoot better suppressed? My guess is the likely answer is the latter.
There are tons more, some that may border on superstition. There's an ejection pattern I like, a recoil pulse that I like, a balance that I like, products I like, manufacturers I like, etc. So, you probably should take whatever I say with a grain of salt.
To address your question: I like to use the longest gas system that a barrel length seems to like - i.e., function reliably and shoot accurately.
In .223/5.56 NATO, to me that means:
10.5" - carbine length
11.5" - carbine+1"
12.5" to 14.5" - mid length
16" - intermediate length (either KAC or Noveske/Kinsel)
18" - rifle length (as long as I go)
You can't talk about gas systems without also considering recoil systems. The older Vltor A5 and now the newer BCM MK II recoil systems make a world of difference and are all I use unless the customer absolutely insists on something else. Why? See the top paragraph, above.
Throw in an adjustable gas block, maybe an ideal low back pressure suppressor, and you can really get things just right. Ok ... what you THINK is just right.

Is that overgassed with or without a suppressor? Ive got a tbac dominus to go on that 16 inch cle Douglas.
My AR project - SPR/Mock 12 in 6mm arc - been working on it for quite a while - finally shot a match with it
Thank you! Here are the parts -Can’t tell much about what the build parts are. But it looks
It’s an Aero lower with a Larue 2 stage. VLTOR A5 system with a B5 precision stock. Magpul K2 grip. LPK from I don’t remember. HRF concepts magwell.
Rainier arms 18” ultra match rifle +1 in 6mm arc. Odinworks AGB. Area 419 6mm 2 port brake. Spikes upper receiver, Aero bolt carrier, faxon 6.5 grendel bolt. PRI gen iii 15” handguard with the full length top rail. Aero CH
Full length arca I machined because no one made them. Hoptic USA ammo sleeve that I modified to fit the toob. Atlas bipod with ADM Qd mount.
Reptillia mount with a vortex venom topped off with the RMR and the 90 degree plate. Machined up a 10mm spacer to bring it over the scope cap. Desert camo tape and a few coats of spray paint. GBRS group sling.
Shoots factory 108 ELDM and factory 105 BTHP at 2570. Very light recoil
I don’t think I’ll run anything but the Vltor A5 or BCM Recoil mitigation system (sane thing) since trying them. How’s the accuracy? I have a GGP set shelved for my next build that I can’t decide on.
The A5 system is awesome. I switched all my rifles to it. More reliable, less recoil impulse, easier to tune.
It’s sitting at about 1 MOA with factory ELDM. Can’t recommend rainier for barrels, their QC seems to be very lacking. Two bad barrels in a row from them, one with putting on the inside, replacement barrel had a gas port not drilled through.
I did the same thing. I am trying out a Geissele braided rifle spring in one rifle. Seems to be a little too much, however I waiting to see if it breaks in a little.
