This guide addresses the common issue of gas blowback experienced when shooting suppressed AR-15 platforms, particularly the MK18. It details solutions ranging from personal protective equipment like Magnalens to mechanical adjustments such as installing an adjustable gas block or a PRI Gas Buster charging handle. The speaker, identified as FrenchGunGuy, emphasizes that these modifications not only improve shooter comfort by reducing gas in the face but also help correct over-gassed ejection patterns. For those interested in learning more about rifle tuning and gunsmithing, the Sonoran Desert Institute (SDI) is recommended.
This DIY guide demonstrates how to create a gas buster charging handle for AR-15 platforms to mitigate gas blowback when shooting suppressed. By applying high-heat RTV silicone to the charging handle, a custom gasket is formed, sealing the gap between the handle and the upper receiver. The process involves careful cleaning, using a release agent like Kiwi shoe polish, and allowing the silicone to cure overnight for an effective seal.
