Recently traded into a heavy barreled 20" AR-15. My main interest in this one is a 100 yard paper puncher and possibly some coyote hunting later on. Figure 3-400 yards max range for it. It's got a 1-9" barrel twist on it. My other big interest if it turns out to be a good shooter is to cut it down and thread for a can. My suppressor is a .30 cal SAS can that's 9" long, so I"d like to keep OAL down as short as possible. I'm wondering if I have the barrel cut back as far as possible with the FSB (or 16" if possible) will I have cycling problems? My can is threaded 5/8" so I can't just use a shorter barrel and gas system with the factory 1/2" threads.
Also, out of curiosity, is there any way to figure out who made an upper? It's a parts gun, but is very well put together. I'm just curious who made the upper if I ever go to sell it.
Thanks
