18” vs 16” barrel with midlength gas system
#4
16” MLGS is one of the more ideal gas port locations/barrel lengths to suppress, but I would still have a plan to choke the gas and add buffer weight with stiff action spring weight.

I’m a fan of the Bootleg carriers.

Biggest con to them is you have 4 positions, whereas set screw adjustable gas blocks have a wide range of fine-tuning the gas restriction.

I have had issues with adjustable gas blocks getting carbon-seized, so I kinda steer away from them now.
