Any idea of the weight without the suppressor (I realize you posted the upper is built for what I assume is dedicated suppressed use). Curiosity.......Did you build the other shooters upper as well? What 10.5" upper/barrel you running?

Thanks

Looks like everybody was cold as hell, but it also looked like a great class taught by two greats. Great AAR JW!

For frangible ammo, I had to switch to an unsuppressed COLT 6933 using a CAR buffer. It would not run the Fiocchi 45gr frang using the H buffer. Worked perfectly with the CAR buffer. The Noveske 10.5 upper would not run the Fioochi either -- with or without can. I intend to troubleshoot this with different buffers later.
