I am thinking of trying a 16" bbl with a rifle length gas tube, that will only be shot suppressed. I am quessing it will have enough dwell time. Anyone try this?
 
OK, great, I am still learning stuff about AR15's.

I have assembled a few and they shoot pretty good, and they work fine. I have added Adjustable GB's because they were over gassed. thought I would try a 16" the way I mentioned above. Does it make them smoother shooting? or other benefits?
 
Put rounds through the Odin DMR, 16.3" with rifle gas Friday. First 150 rounds were suppressed, then once it was filthy, I ran another 100 or so through it without the can. No issues.
