    Cutting 16” DPMS to 14.88”

    I’m looking for some help before I come up with a final solution. I currently have a 16” DPMS Sportical that I’ve had for about 10 years. Over 5k flawless rounds. I’m considering picking up a Surefire SOCOM suppressor, though, and I’m thinking the barrel is a little long. Wood there be any disadvantages to cutting the barrel to 14.88” and pinning a muzzle device? I’m ok with pinning my muzzle device, however, my primary concern is that the rifle will be under gassed.

    In my experience, 14.88” is the ideal length for optimum gassing.

    What muzzle device will you pin?
    In no way do I make any money from anyone related to the firearms industry.

    I’ve more or less decided on the Surefire 4 prong as it’s clone correct.

    Is that what the manual calls for?

    I strongly recommend reading the TDP.

    Yes, and I think there is one for sale on the EE. You may want to look there.

    What’s wrong with DPMS? My cousin carried one as a contractor in Iraq and never had any issues.

    Edit: also, sir, not all of us are privileged with a good job. I work long hours in the phosphate mines and while it doesn’t pay well, it’s the best I can do. At least I’m not jobless. I’d get a second job but I spend a lot of my off time building crosses for the locals.
