I haven't updated this thread in a while. I made some changes to the rifle worth noting.
First, I was getting some bolt over base failures with the suppressor. Between that and just feeling kind of harsh for an AR15, I went to a Sprinco Red buffer spring and that seems to have dramatically settled the action down. I previously tried an H2 but it still felt harsh. The rifle locks back on an empty magazine and cycles fine without the suppressor too.
Second, as much as I like the MBT trigger it just wasn't right for this gun. I switched to an AR Gold trigger like I have in other rifles. The MBT was just too heavy for me to be able to switch between platforms with lighter triggers.
Third, I went from a minimalist single port brake to a 6.5 specific two port brake. The two port brake I've had on a while, I'm not sure it was a worthwhile purchase but it is on there nonetheless.
