Not a Primary Arms related answer but:
As far as I know the 12.5” 5.56 FM-15 upper with 3-position gas block is a Rainier Arms exclusive version. Aim Surplus has the 11.25” with adjustable gas. I have an 11.25” one and while 3 settings are kind of course, it has worked so far adjusting with and without a .30 cal Vox-S. FM also sells a suppressor-only spring, presumably heavier.
