I have the raptor and even with adjustable gas and an RTV job on it it still kinda blows gas. I think that some of the dedicated suppressor handles might be better.

This is another option if you really like the Raptor. I want the truck. lol
I mill a slot at the bottom of my charging handles that redirects the gas, if you are capable you can do it that way. http://www.weaponoutfitters.com/ar-gas-vent.html |

Well that sucks, guess Im back to the drawing board now. For the guys running suppressed what are you running for your charging handle? |

I've got a SLR handle on order and they have a machined in pathway for gas. I put silicone on my Raptors to fill the gap and haven't had issues.

I clicked on this thinking you were referring to the Ford F150 Raptor.

I love me some Raptor but being a lefty shooting suppressed from an SBR leaves me with what feels like an infected eye for 3-4 days after a heavy session. The PRI M84 Gas Buster on the other hand, handles gas blow back great (but it lacks the ambi features). If the Raptor and the PRI Gas Buster had a baby, it would probably look something like this:
   I really wish AXTS would make a gas re-directing variant, but until that time, I'm gonna go with the Armageddon. |

Somebody explain the button on the rear a little better. In the review linked to, a few posts up, they guy is saying that you can just pull the CH back without touching the button. How does that assembly work?

Sounds like the rear button is only used for leverage when the bolt is already locked to the rear or the rifle is broken down. Quote HistoryQuoted:
