AR for use with suppressor

[Robinson]

Well, here we go. I just placed an order for a Colt CR6960 mid-length carbine.

Next I will get some sights and maybe a RDS ordered.

Time to dig out my trust and see about having another can added to it. It will probably be a Turbo K-RB or a Turbo T3 with sRx mounting system. If I go K-RB I might stick with the Phantom QD system.

Might as well get an order going for the H2 buffer, spring, etc... while I'm at it.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this thread so far -- I appreciate all the help.

I would also order a BRT gas tube. If the 6960 has a slightly smaller gas port than other makers, it means the larger gas ports are too big. Colt knows what it's doing.

Congrats! You've taken the first step towards new learning.

I will definitely start looking at that option seriously. I've got some time before I'll need it.

If I only had one lower, I’d seriously consider just buying a dedicated upper for unsuppressed.

I would rather just tune the whole upper and swap en bloc.

I'm going to set this gun up as a dedicated suppressor host. If I ever decide I want to shoot unsuppressed I will seriously consider just getting a second upper. On the other hand, lowers aren't really the expensive piece so I would guess some people just build two complete rifles.

Depends… can get fancy with stocks and triggers, etc. It all depends on your use patterns.

My 11.5” suppressed is my favorite… so it lives on an SBR lower.

So swapping uppers on a dedicated SBR lower with the stock and trigger and tax stamp…

Interestingly enough, this popped up on the feed today:

@MistWolf what do you think of the Sionics uppers which are build specifically for supressors? Good to go?

I’m seriously thinking about trying this. I have an unfired PSA 10.5” I picked up from another member, I can tweak it to run always suppressed. But I would like to see if my other shorties can be made to run both ways.
