Suppressed shooting

[Hump66]

Does anyone have any experience with the PRI gas buster charging handles? I noticed with my suppressor that I get a ton of blowback in my face. Just wondering if they work/are worth the money. Thanks.

I have had a couple of them. They are very strong, but do not eliminate all of the gas. I have found that putting a small bead of silicone on the rear of the standard charging handle works better. Here is a link to show you how it is done (look at the top of the page I linked):

Thanks a ton. I have countless tubes of that stuff lying around from working on cars. I'll give it a go this weekend.

I was having this exact same probem and got the same advice here. This fix works like a champ and is almost free...

Yep, works like a champ. Even in full auto!

Ok, so I tried this. It works so well I did it to my other AR just for kicks. This is a great fix, thanks for the help guys!

Why not call the manufacturer? Did you get a strange thread pattern?

ok, after a little silicone on the charging handle, what is next? a switch block? anyone have any experience. i have noticed a good amount of garbage in the action after much shooting. although it is nice and quiet
