Two is one, right?
Bottom is identical to the top except for the M600V light and Aimpoint 3XMAG-1 magnifier in a Unity FTC mount. It will be my all around to have some better reach-out capability. Top remains home defense.  |

Just got my light mounted so i feel like i can finally post my latest build. It is a BA 14" barrel pinned gas block, pinned and welded YHM flash hider. The YHM 3102 is shortened 0.1" to work with the YHM Kurz kit on the turbo K.
I still want a finger stop or hand stop for repeatable hand placement for light activation.  |

I have a 12.5" upper on the way that will host an OSS Ti can (will be my thermal set-up with a REAP-IR optic). Also looking to move my NV set-up to an SBR. My current is a Daniel Defense 16" which works, but I do prefer 11.5"-12.5" suppressed. I'm pleased where they are right now for sure... |

So, I think we have enough data on barrel lengths to see what the favorites are. I'm going to be starting a new Poll. This one will be on Our favorite name brand AR. Make sure to vote at the top of the page, thanks.

I like seeing stuff properly engineered to not have all the extra BS needed to make it run like it should. I have had great luck porting @ .06 and an H2 Buffer for Carbine Length Gas. Then I swap to Mil Spec Buffers when I shoot unsuppressed. I have done this on a 10-5 and 11-5 barrel. It also might be pertinent that I pretty much only run 30cal suppressors on 5.56 and I run LMT Enhanced BCG's. Personally I think 7.62 Cans are quieter at the ear than 5.56 Cans. As for adjustable GB's and BCG's, I think you'll find a lot of heat erosion occurring, mainly on the set screws that close off gas, therefore requiring constant adjustment to maintain consistent back pressure. I should note, I have no experience with adjustable BCG's, just GB's... |

I run it 100% suppressed with a Turbo K, but for me the ability to run it un suppressed with a simple adjustment is a must. But I like options

Since cans are a thing there is really no time I every shoot without one so a properly sized gas port would essentially do away with needing the other adjustable stuff if running it suppressed 100% of the time. I do think the carriers are a great option for the off chance you want to shoot without a can. Make a quick turn and you're there. That's why I have them. But I feel it is still essentially a Band-Aid on a full suppressed rifle. |

That is on the smaller side compared top DD, BCM etc, and I think it's good. I have no interest shooting 10.3"-11.5" barrels without a can. The .046" is great towards that aim. And yes, I hear you, sometimes the AGB and adjustable carriers feel like band-aids which can be avoided through engineering |

Daniel Defense for me. I have ran Noveske and KAC and always come back to Daniel Defense. I am also a 21+ year military veteran. And am very familiar with Colt. Very simple and basic is the best way to go IMO, even as a veteran.

Just want to show a recant change made to my Suppressor only ARs. Q Plan B and Q Cherry Bombs. If you have 1 Rifle Can and 2 or 3 AR's, this is about as easy and reliable a QD Mounting Platform I have ever used. Never comes loose and once cooled Always comes off. I'm running 1/2x28 and 5/8x24 Cherry Bombs on an 11-5 and a 12-5 in 6.8SPC, both work great. The Cherry Bomb is not the best MD outside of a Can, so mainly what I am endorsing is the Plan B.

Make sure to vote on your favorite AR at the top of the page. The next poll will be about Optics. I will run a Red Dot/Holographic Poll, an LPVO Poll and a Magnified Optic Poll. I am going to include Aimpoint Comp, Aimpoint T2, Trijicon RMR, Trijicon MRO, EoTech and because so many of us are utilizing Magnifires, I'm going to include the Elcan Spector. I believe the Elcan 1x4x is more like a Red Dot w/ Magnifier than an LPVO Trying to keep inline with tried and true Duty Optics, let me know what you want to see in the LPVO Section. I'll let the current Poll continue through the weekend and then run each of the 3 Optics Polls for 10 days.

The TA31 has short eye relief because of the field of view. Move your eye back to where it is with a TA11 and holy fuck, you have the same field of view. The TA31 is one of, if not the best carbine optics bar none. |

Also, Keep in mind, there are only 6 spots in the Polls. Yes, maybe add just a generic “fixed prism” option. Prism optic such as these are very light weight, durable, and fast. To the person saying “not for this century”, I must disagree. LPVOs are heavier, and most require batteries for illumination. The TA31 is 9.9oz naked, never needs a battery, and when combined with a front objective cap, is essentially a 1/4x optic. With my cantilever ADM mount, it puts the ACOG in a more rearward position which allows me to shoot unhindered by the shorter eye relief. For me and what I wanted out of my utility AR, it is perfect. |
