I have an extra 16” mid length 223 wylde barrel I’m considering have cut down to 12”, recrowned and threaded so i can run a suppresser.

I was wondering if anyone has tried this, how it worked and what to expect. Will the rifle function with properly with a mid length gas port? Did you enlarge the gas port? did you change the buffer, etc.

I’d like to find out what to expect before I have the barrel cut in two pieces.
