Yes- shot to shot is fine. 5 shots at .2-ish splits was the worst ive experienced.
Drastically worse than my 14.5” centurion. It also runs with heavier spring and buffer.
I would not call it “overgassed” as its been 100%, but if you are trying to avoid gas to face with a silencer, seems there are better options.
I was gonna suggest looking at the BRT 11.5" Optimum Suppressor barrel with the 5/8-24 threads and tapered shoulder, but they're sold out! A friend got me one for Christmas and I'm pulling all the parts together I'll need to assemble the upper. Just need to get a direct thread endcap that'll mate the Omega to it and pull the money together for the handguard I want-

But BRT does have this 11.5" barrel in stock. It's the same except it has 1/2-28 threads and a square shoulder-

I am American
I have new BCM 11.5 ELW with a .072 gas port.
You won't outvote the corruption.

For option 4, I assume "other" means you are open to alternative suggestions to the setups you listed? I don't know what your budget for this will be, but my vote goes to:
- 11.5" KAC SR15 Mod 2 upper
- Replace factory upper with BCM MK2 upper (keep Mod 2 barrel, bolt group, gas system components, and handguard)
- Radian Raptor SD charging handle
I too hate gas in the face. The Mod 2's tend to be very well gassed by nature of their design. I've run mine with an SF Socom Mini 2 over their three prong flash hider, and it's been excellent. Only a slight amount of gas during extended strings of fire. I have it out to get the MK2 receiver installed. That, combined with the Radian charging handle, will likely eliminate that little bit of gas. The big thing for me with this type of setup is that it runs very well with or without the suppressor without any adjustments. That may or may not be a factor for you in determining whether to go with a dedicated suppressor optimized barrel or not.

I would wait until we hear more about the Geissele Super Duty uppers, to be honest. Once they're in the wild and people have had a chance to shoot them (especially with a can, especially with the RC2), I'd ask again. As-is, I don't think anyone other than maybe Bill Geissele can answer questions about how, "gas-y," the Super Duty rifles and uppers are.

Sionics, BRT, and Triarc have suppressor barrels, that's the only way I'd go to avoid gas to your face. I haven't shot them yet but from what I've seen they preform well.
- cqbdriverIt is from the construction of underground FEMA camps. I can't say more because there a guy parked in front of house in an AMC Pacer. He is acting like he talking on the phone, but I know better.
I have to sign off now & put my laptop in the microwave.
Thanks for all the thoughts, everybody. I know the Super Duty 11.5 with suppressor is pretty unknown at this point. I think I'll be able to get one 35% off though, which of course is tempting.
Right now 'other' is winning, by way of Black River Tactical

A barrel and gas system specifically and explicitly optimized for running suppressed just sounds like a winner.
