    Would any manufacturer recommend adding suppressor to their rifle?

    Unless they have tested it they have no idea how it would effect performance/reliability.

    I don't want to speak for companies I don't work for - but I can't image LMT, BCM, Noveske, or even Spikes having issues with you putting suppressors on their rifle and I am sure there many others that wouldn't either...

    A guy at the range had the Ruger when I was there. I let him have my brass as I dont have the stuff to reload...he let me shoot 30rds out of his gun. Ive never shot a suppressed weapon before so it was a bit novel. The gun was fun to shoot except one minor detail, I'm a southpaw and the gases are forced out of the breach. I had to stop every three rounds due to the heavy ammonia gases in my face. I assume that it because of the "can" but i would rather just shoot my bushmaster.

    Just one more reason to not buy their AR.

    Is this verified, or is it just "some guy said he talked to some guy at Ruger, and he said NO"?

    Recommend? Don't know. Advise you to NOT put one on, no.

    Some companies (that do not thread their barrels concentric to their bore line) should NOT allow people to put can on their AR's.

    You mean did Ruger issue a press release? No.

    Did someone at Ruger tell to not put a can on their gun? Yes.

    Even a Bushmaster will blow gases back in your face. That is SOP for using a suppressor.

    ive never fired a rifle with a suppressor prior to then, so it was a bit of a surprise to me. ive experienced getting some gases from my gun, but not to the degree that I experienced with the piston'd ruger.

    Technically a suppressor isn't good for any weapon. Increasing the dwell time of gasses causes more heat per round to be generated, and that means accelerated wear.

    Not good doesn't say much.

    I think a Ruger M4 was a good idea, but that they should have gone DI with the hammer forged barrel and rail system for cheaper.
