AR pistol and suppressor
My newest build was an ar pistol. PSA 71/2" barrel. I shot 30 rounds thru it to see if the rounds stabilized before putting on my suppressor. Everything looked good until I put my can on. Then the holes through the paper told me the bullets were going thru at all different angles. I did not see any strike marks on the inside of the can, and I didn't notice or hear anything strange when firing it. Should I trust this? Should I never put a suppressor on it again? Has anyone ever experienced this?
Re: AR pistol and suppressor
have you tried different ammo? if you do, i would check after each round is fired (with suppressor on). keep trying different ammo until you find something your gun likes. on a side note, what's your barrel twist rate? is it 1:8 in 300blkout and you're using subsonic ammo?

It's a 1/7 twist rate 5.56 shooting reduced loads. Not subsonic. I have found 15grains of Varget still cycles my gun.
Re: AR pistol and suppressor
mind telling us the suppressor? wonder if it's direct thread or quick detach.

Is there anything against your target? Sometimes a backer something can make the hole look like a keyload. In order to get an accurate test I use free hanging cardboard at 9 ft.
