Well, 11.5s are reputed to run more reliably than most 10.5s; Further, Gem-Tech recommends using a minimum 11.5 length with a .223 silencer. On the plus-side for 10.5 is the much bigger fireball and , well, let's face it, 10.5 looks WAY cooler ;)

Is the flash suppressor adequate or would I be better off replacing it with say a vortex or phantom?

You need a better flash suppressor for sure. Is this for a pistol? I can't remember which thread was yours. Were you the guy thinking on taking one with him to the sandbox?

My 10.5 runs like a raped ape, absolutely no reliability problems whatsoever. With the vortex on there the flash isn't all that bad either, though I haven't taken her out in the dark yet to do a proper test.
 I wish I could tell you who made it, but it was a no name A1 upper when I got it, and I've since replaced every single part but the barrel. I think it's either a J&T or a M&A parts kit, but I can't be sure. |

Awesome setup!! Exactly what I had in mind - do you know how much you are into it? |

LMT. Have Wes build it and test fire it, he'll find any real problems. It's on the light side, which is good. Many 11.5s are HBARs. |

other questions:
1 as far as a lower I was thinking Bushy or RR....But would Mega or brand-x be reliable and do the job just as well and cheaper? 2 are there must haves for this config.? Such as "brand-x has better bolt carrier and group" or make sure you switch out this for that, etc. Thanks for all info.  |

I got a lot of it from the EE here, including the registered reciever, and I got some really, really good prices on things. Here's the complete list: Registered Reciever, $7,500 (including original 10.5" upper) A3 flat top upper, $85 complete from CMMG Old style vortex, $20 YHM rail system, traded for about $100 worth of Thermold magazines Aluminum foward grip, $50 from Olympic Arms Arms #40 Buis, $85 from pete-in-NH Eotech 551, $200 from pete-in-NH After the Reciever, everything else was done a little at a time, and when deals came up; I really don't have that much into all the extras. |

What would you go with receiver wise? - Do you think that RR is hard due to backorders or is there something that I am missing? Thanks Edited for spelling |

Gunbert, how do you like having the FSP visible through your EOTech window? Is it a distraction?
Would you prefer a flip-down FS? |

To be honest I don't even notice it. If I stumble across a really good deal on a new gas block and flip up front site I may get them, but they aren't really high on the priority list. |

You'll want an 11.5 with Phantom (the A2 is not enough IMHO) or Vortex (a can would even be better).
The barrel must be 1:7 twist so it can handle 75gr TAP or 77gr MK262.. Refer to the Ammo Oracle as to why you'll want to shoot these rounds. |
