    I have my Colt Commando 11.5" barrel SBR adjusted 8 clicks from closed(screw all the way in), which is in the "restrictive" range. My gun spits the brass out consistently at 3 o'clock, both suppressed and unsuppressed. Your barrel may differ and I admit I've only just started shooting this rifle. Others with more experience will be along with more experience with Superlatives. I'm normally an SLR user, but wanted to try something else.

    I have done this but, after tuning the AGB, it still requires a buffer and maybe spring change. I suggest that you first get it to shoot correctly un suppressed. Use the lowest gas setting you can by adjusting the gas screw until the bolt consistently locks back. Next put on your suppressor and see how it works. Many times people mistake excessive BCG velocity as a failure to cycle.

    The suppressor will give you more back pressure on the BCG and to compensate, you will need to change something in the rear end. I always recommend an H3 buffer before doing any spring changes.

    Once you get it operating consistently, then take the suppressor off and try shooting it. Watch the ejection pattern and see if it is acceptable as is. If not, replace the H3 with the standard buffer and if that works, just cycle out the buffer when you put the can on.

    My experience is that, once you start using suppressors, you are not going to want to shoot without them. ;)
