I'm looking to buy a large frame AR in 308 - this would be my first AR-10 - and I'm going to be shooting suppressed 90% of the time.
I have been eyeing the LMT and am strongly leaning in that direction but I see reports that it is overgassed for a can. I have considered buying the 20" barrel and having it cut down to 16", hopefully leaving me with an appropriate port size for that length when suppressed. Obviously this adds significant cost, but it would be worth it as long as it works as intended, and of course I could then have barrels in 2 calibers.
Are there better options for an off the shelf 16" gun that isn't overgassed with a can?
Has anyone here cut down an LMT 18" or 20" barrel that can report on function with/without a can?
Cans that might be used - omega, sandman s, maybe sandman k.
Edited for spelling and stuff.
