[QUOTE="mdvctry, post: 1703520, member: 45208"] I have a .458 SOCOM 1-14 twist Assembled from Wilson Combat parts with a Carbine gas system. It has an adjustable gas block and I shoot supersonic and subsonic with a suppressor without any problems. I use starline brass and H110, Lil Gun, HS-6 and IMR 4198 powders using load data from several sources. As others have mentioned, I would get an adjustable gas block, make sure you have a spring and buffer designed for the .458 SOCOM. Make sure you use the proper Extra Power Action spring, some manufacturers send a regular AR-15 with your kit. Make sure you use the proper Extra Power Action spring shipped with your kit. When adjusting your gas block ensure that you have enough gas for proper function. Test your gas block by adjusting your flow to allow lock back on an empty magazine. If your gun locks back on an empty magazine after 3 single-loaded shots it is reliably locking back. When adjusting your gas block ensure that you have enough gas for proper function. Test your gas block by adjusting your flow to allow lock back on an empty magazine. If your gun locks back on an empty magazine after 3 single-loaded shots it is reliably locking back. [/QUOTE]
