OK, understood.
Your Blackout would be a nice light-weight home defense type setup. Noveske have a stirling reputation for Blackout uppers and drop-in's. Not sure about longer ranges however, but you would know better than me.
I worry about going too short in a Blackout. Ordinarily that means lower velocities and a super-loud bark. However Blackout needs to be used subsonic to justify the choice and the higher muzzle pressures that come with a short barrel mean your subsonic suppression suffers.
As for supersonic, the Blackout is already pretty slow with a 16" barrel so we both know what 10" is.
If I had my time again I'd probably go a 12.5" 1:7 twist Noveske Blackout barrel with pistol length gas tube.
Yes, good thinking...I reckon your 10" ARX would work much better than a 10" Blackout. No good subsonic however, but a 10" Blackout is pretty loud anyway.
