thanks for the reply and cross posting for me. Kind of disheartening though. Even Noveskes web site says that it may not function with subs being unsuppressed. Weird.
I too am shopping for parts to build a Blackout upper.
Like you, for some reason, I thought I needed to shoot unsuppressed subsonic rounds.
(I will be waiting for the stamp for my suppressor).
I figured the heavy bullets would be more accurate, since they won't have to jump to the lands.
I was even thinking of having the barrel gas port drilled out, then adding an adjustable gas block.
I finally realized that I can load heavy bullets with a smidge more powder, making them slightly supersonic.
This way, I would be able to reliably cycle the weapon and use heavy bullets without a suppressor.
