    I haven't had any issues with my RGP barrel unsuppressed. Using an H buffer it has cycled everything and even locks back on the last round with underpowered steel case stuff.

    I do think I saw something at one point about a suppressor only barrel, but I don't know if those were ever available. I wouldn't expect good results unsuppressed from that one unsuppressed.

    As far as I know they never released the suppressor only barrels. I check in with them quarterly about them haha. My rgp barrel is my 2nd favorite behind my kac 11.5 cqb mod 2.

    Correct. Those were T&E things that we did and used them as part of testing against RGP barrels.

Haven’t ran my suppressor (SF RC2) on the LMT, but it’s pretty good on the BCM (little gas to the face w/ the RC2). The Colt is probably best, in my experience.
    Per W.Larson/Semper Paratus Arms armorer course: the Industry Norm for 11.5" barrels is .076.

    BCM 11.5" barrels have a gas port size of .076 (confirmed at W.Larson/Semper Paratus Arms armorer course on two of my 11.5" BCM uppers with a pin gauge).

    A friend/co-workers Colt 6933 (complete Colt 6933 URG purchased from G&R in late 2016 - sent to Iraqgunz for rail install and gas port measured at .074)

    Colt 14.5"/16" (M4/6920) barrels gas ports are .062.
