Did you get a chance to shoot it yet. Was thinking about building one and want to hear how yours is running.

Every chance I've had to go to the range it's been raining. Or work gets in the way. The guy I got it from is a friend I trust and he says it runs fine. But I do want to get it out soon.

Forgot to update this. Took it out to a friend's property just to see how it functioned. Ran like a top. No problems at all. Plenty accurate. But with the 20" SS barrel on it, it's heavy. Just got a Ballistics Advantage 16" delivered. Have to get a vice block and crowfoot wrench to install it now. Also have a Precision Armament M4 72 brake to put on it. Let the fun begin.

Thanks for the update. I have been thinking about getting one just due to the reasonable price. I just finished building my first ar, it was a 10.5 inch pistol from PSA.

Looking into building my first AR-10 later this year. Still compiling info - haven't yet started buying parts.

But, this came up in a BST thread today and piqued my interest:
Firemediceric wrote: Fri Jul 26, 2019 8:55 am One thing I have pointed out on those forums is that if they want to run a suppressor on an AR-10, the gas system on the Sig is unrivaled. Before getting my 716 I had tried DPMS super sass, Rock River and Adams Arms. Frustration and disappointment with all of them.
I'm wondering if this is due to using non-adjustable gas blocks? I've started using adjustable blocks on my suppressed AR-15s and I would think that an adjustable gas block would be the way to go with a suppressed AR-10 as well.

What say you?
