Sbr cycles suppressed fine. Unsuppressed supers tend to double feed a lot. Wat do?

BTW I'm using a troy pdw stock so changing buffers is not an option.  I was actually thinking of cutting the spring down a little bit.

Is that with suppressed supers or subs?

How does it do with unsuppressed subs?

I only had twenty subs so I didn't even bother shooting them unsupressed.  I have eight left I could try that next time I hit the range, but I'm guessing they won't cycle at all.

ETA:  Its a little confusing so here

Suppressed Supersonic: Yes!
Suppressed Subsonic: Yes!
Unsuppressed Supersonic: Lot of double feeds
Unsupressed Subsonic: Didn't even try.

Should I maybe take this to the build it yourself forum?

Good clarification. I don't have enough experience to even make a guess.

Heres the ARFCOM FAQ on double feeds:
http://www.ar15.com/content/page.html?id=113

Are you getting a proper double feed (two live rounds) or an FTX (one stuck in chamber, live round behind it)?

I'm not 100% sure what it was tbh.  I think it was a fte an then trying to feed a second round.  I'll shoot again this weekend to shoot some different ammo and get a better handle on what's happening.  BTW i put this in the build it yourself forum too
