Gas defeating charging handle?

[Buddy1211]

What your go to gas busting charging handle? Finally got to take my polonium for a spin and boy is it a gassy setup, no adjustable gas block yet, I'm moving back to front. I assume my ar10 will be pretty gassy with a can as well so I'm hoping to kill a couple birds at once here thanks for any suggestions!

I've not seen them all, but so far none have been worth the money or any better than doing the RTV trick.

Yep!!! Convert to piston if you don't like gas in your face. The charging handles just really don't do much.

I second the piston kit for keeping most all of the gas out of the chamber. IMHO, Adam's Arms is an awesome choice.

For the AR challenged... WTF are you guys talking about? Edjumacate me.

Suppressors create a lot of back pressure causing gas to the face. One of the way help minimize is supposedly various charging handles that either disperse or block the gas. The reality is they only do so much, the proper method with a DI gas gun is to have an appropriate size gas port for that application.

Bootleg's adjustable bolt carrier group is another option, but it's louder at the ejection port.

I fixed all my gassy AR's by switching to bolt actions. Worked perfect!

Thanks! I also did a little Googling and I think I understand.

This carrier vents gas downward.

I beleive the Geissele enhanced carrier has some fancy gas channels to reduce gas face.

An adjustable gas block can help some, I put a Superlative piston kit in my 8" 300BLK upper and it made a huge difference as far as blow back, I shoot the 300BLK with supers and a suppressor.
