Who has a "gas buster" AR charging handle? Login/Join

Here's what RRA says:

"FEATURING THE MILITARY "BIG" LATCH! REPLACEMENT CHARGING HANDLE ASSEMBLY, BUILT TO DEFLECT GASSES AWAY FROM THE SHOOTER'S FACE."

https://www.rockriverarms.com/...lay&category_ID=1328

I've fired "lots" of rounds thru my ARs (semi only) but I can't say I've ever gotten gassed. Could it be an issue with full auto?

Suppressor use.

Most of the big names (Geissele, BCM, Raptors, etc) have a higher fence to mitigate this.

It’s crazy and I never would have believed how much that little metal lip reduces gas in my face, but they really do. I have G and BCM ones. (And yeah, for shooting suppressed).

I placed some painter’s tape on the receiver and charging handle, squirted a bit of RTV sealant and formed my own little gas buster gasket on my ARs. Makes a huge difference suppressed.

I have one on a gun that also has a Gemtech suppressed bolt carrier. Each is nice in its own right, but together they're awesome.

I made my own with gasket sealant.


Regular AR use. Not needed at all. Suppressed, they can make an enormous difference.


I found an adjustable gas made the biggest single difference of all.
