*We cannot guarantee cycling of Subsonic ammo with low back pressure suppressors*
View Quote


Saw this quote on a .300 BO 8.5” Blem upper on the PSA website and was wondering if anyone has any experiences good or bad with this?

Also, are the flash suppressors P&W on these uppers or will the come off readily?


Thanks

Not p/w.  I don't have a low back pressure can but can guarantee they tried a variety of cans with all the gas settings.  There are a lot of variables, including ammo used.

Don’t doubt they did lots of testing but specifically the topic of subsonic ammo has me worried. The whole point of this caliber is subsonic especially with the really short barrels.



Just thinking about doing something different with one of my SBR AR15 lowers.

I’ve solely run 220g subs…zero issues after gas settings adjusted with my Surefire 300 SPS, if that helps.

Subs are no issues. Issue is low back pressure cans.

Mine ran like a top with a DD Enticer S. Granted it's high back pressure and not really helpful to the convo. It was ran with a variety of brands subs and supers.

Any consensus on a good suppressor for the 8.5" .300 blackout?
