So i have a couple 5.56 ars that wont cycle with my suppressor on, so for the time being my can lives on my .223 bolt gun. One of my ars i put an adjustable gas block on, but that hasnt solved the suppressed cycling issue. Im assuming a different buffer and/ or buffer spring is in order? Thoughts?

I just ordered a springfield saint victor ar10 in .308 and would like to get a can for that too, but im hesitant due to the poor results of running my 223 can on my ars. Some suggestions and insight from folks who have actually been there and done that would be much appreciated.

Thanks, faggots.

Okay, editing this comment because it pertains to several responses. Just took the gun out. Its been quite a while. Looked at the gas block and the adjustment scrrw is backed way out, open wide. First round, ejected to about 1:00. Then. Boomboomboom. Cycled flawlessly. Im at a loss here. Last i recall it was having issues. Going to go dump a some more rounds and see what happens

Having a switch that will let you go from one to the other perfectly is difficult.

It shouldn't be... hell some Yugo SKSs have an easily adjusted 2 position gas block for the grenade launch setting. There are JTS 12 guages that have a 1-4 gas selection switch. Adding the same principle with independent screws has to be out there.

Does nobody manufacture an AR adjustable gasblock with 2 or 3 "channels" and adjustable screws on each? Then easily test/tune it to an optimal Suppressed vs Unsuppressed?

Clamping off the gas to kick out a grenade isnt quite the same as tuning for a supressor.

Im unaware of an adjustable block with set screws like you mention. I have heard of ones with 10-12 settings however.

No, but it does show that the quick and dirty 2 channel switch can be done.

I found some gasblocks with Suppressed/Unsuppressed settings(but not a very quick or easy switch), but they were all "hard coded" based on barrel length. Nothing that allowed 2 channels with adjustability.

Maybe that's for a reason. Maybe it'd be unnecessary design overkill and over-engineering, and if it were me, I'd just build another AR to not be suppressed...

How's your machining, fren? We could probably sell them for $100-$200 each. And suppressors are really starting to hit the normie sphere.
