If its .094, it isnt going to be a good place from which to start for a suppressed build, as it will need the gas choked off just to shoot unsuppressed reliably.
It would be good to have a modified gas block with a choke drilled and tapped into it.
For MLGS 18 barrel, the gas port should not be larger than .076 for 6.5 Grendel shooting unsuppressed.
I personally wont put a suppressor on an 18 MLGS barrel unless its a flow-through, low back pressure suppressor.
Intermediate or RLGS is much better for 18 suppressed, but that isnt an option with your existing barrel.
I will have the port measurement by Tuesday night.
