Wanting to build a 300 blk pistol with a piston system . Anybody build one and with what parts? I plan on using a side charger upper and cycling the subs manually but would like them to run semi also. I found a 10" barrel I can pick up in a trade but it has a carbine gas system. Will a piston system run semi both suppressed and unsuppressed with a carbine length system? Will it run super sonic loads unsuppressed?
Thanks Scot

Scott, the answer to all of the questions regarding the 10" bbl with piston system is probably No. I build one with a 9.5" bbl and an AA piston and had to make the gas port 0.147" to cycle.
 
Adams Arms has a carbine gas system that can be ordered with a low mass carrier and a low pro gas adjustible block .My question is will a low mass carrier help a 300 blk cycle or hurt it when using a carbine length 10"barrel
