I will try to answer the questions from the replies to my original post.
Cornholio: My original thoughts were to use an AGI for the obvious reason of having the ability to switch from a self loading mode to a single shot mode in order to eliminate the noise of the action, thus having the quietest one shot possible. But when the Fulton AGI was installed it seemed to be loose, never being quite as solid as the original tube. Secondly, it meant I needed to keep up with a hex wrench, counting turns, and adding more complications to the equations. As I stated, I have not done anything with supersonic loads, and it may be necessary for some sort of gas flow adjustment so as to not overwork the receiver with excessive recoil, but I doubt it would be necessary since this is not a hot cartridge even with supersonic loads and the AR is a very strong platform.
Artful: I would describe the gas and powder residue that makes is way back through the action into the shooter's face at worst as anoying. In my case it was not excessive or painful, but I always use eye protection, as I hope everyone does. This problem is not just associated with this cartridge but happens in most cases when you suppress an auto loader, especially the AR. The gas buster charging handle, in my case, eliminated the problem completely and I feel was worth the hefty pricetag.
Quarterbore: I will try and get some pics. While I am not too proficient with posting photos, I will get my son and digital camera and see what we can do. It does look pretty sexy if I do say so myself, especially with the night vison scope and supressor installed. Have gotten a lot of compliments at the range. Thanks again for the forum and the information on your site, couldn't have done it without you.
