It sounded like it only eliminated it when you go to hand cycling.

I'd be interested in trying it though. I'd have to demo it before dropping three bills on a stripped upper.


The WAR upper is the bomb diggity dank and will actually cut your suppressed DBs down. If I was a baller I would have them on all my SBRs.

No iron sights? I'm ashamed for you.

I don't use BUIS on my guns with optics either.

I hope so I can't wait to finish it and run some lead through it. Have you tried the Gemtech bolt carrier yet is it worth going after not for the WAR upper of course but for another build.


I meant I'm going to have you be iron sights only before too long.
I do enjoy shooting both.

I'm having trouble finding 14.5 in a carbine gas length with a larger diameter gas port hole. I may have to find someone to drill it out.

Why do you need a larger hole/larger than what?


I read this on IA webpage :

The W.A.R. is for use in conjunction only with factory 5.56mm ammunition, a quality 5.56 suppressor, and barrels with a gas port hole size between .084 – .093

That's insanely big for a normal length barrel. Are you sure that's not referencing a 10.5" barrel or something?

No there's no reference to barrel length. I'm thinking with mid length and larger diameter port it will help with the cycle rate since it slows it down.

Where's @Righter13 he's using one. I'm sure he could have some feedback I think he's using a JP buffer too

When I looked at it, it comes with a proprietary carbine gas tube, so mid length wouldn't work. That sounds like a short barrel gas port size. I'm at work but I'll try to look at my notes when I get home b

Im thinking about going with the Faxon 14.5 and it has a .081 port at mid length giving me less recoil and muzzle flip. Now a low pro gas needs that size or greater diameter correct so there's no gas escaping or would a .750 fit with screws. Not sure

Integrity Arms carries Faxon barrels - that is where I got mine. Just go up there, finger the hole and buy some other shit you don't really need. He has some good prices.

Little far for me I'll see what I can do about calling up there and using the websight though since its local to GA.
Thanks @ReservoirDawg10

The gas block's hole is bigger by a good bit, no worry there.

The .750 is the outside diameter of the barrel.
