Im leaning toward the QD phantom. How much harder is it gonna be on the gun without an adj gas block? How much faster is she gonna dirty up? Like gotta clean it every 20rds? With it being overgassed will it affect the reliability?
 
Re: YHM Phantom on DPMS SASS

I run the QD Titanium Phantom on a Bushmaster BAR10--the predecessor to the modern Rock River 308's. I clean it after a day of shooting whether it's had 5 rounds or 200 rds. I've never HAD to clean it to keep it functioning. I gets dirtier than it does without the suppressor, but not really that bad. I bought a heavy buffer from heavybuffers.com which helped with the overgassing, but I think the adjustable gas would be a better solution. I bet you really wouldn't wear it out any faster running it stock--at least not where you could positively blame it on running a suppressor. I just changed the buffer to improve the ejection pattern. Unsuppressed it would eject at about 2 oclock to 3 oclock. Suppressed it ejected about 1230 or 1 oclock. The buffer brought it back to 2 oclock.
