Share your suppressed gas gun setup

[Alan]

If you've ever built a suppressed rifle from scratch, I'm really interested to know which muzzle devices and mounting systems you found to be the most "gas-friendly." How did they work with your buffer setup, spring rates, and gas block adjustments? I'd love to see full build breakdowns if you have them!

After working on a few suppressed builds, I've found that having adjustable gas blocks is crucial if you want to get everything just right. For mounting systems, I've had great experiences with KeyMo and Plan B mounts. They both keep back pressure low compared to direct threading. The Dead Air flash hiders also seem to help with gas blowback a little. On my 16" middy build, I'm running a Superlative Arms AGB along with a standard carbine buffer and an H2 spring beneath my Sandman-S. I had to turn the gas down about 2-3 clicks from wide open to ensure it runs smoothly suppressed without being overgassed. When I'm not using a suppressor, I just crank it back up.
