Has anyone tried this forward assist gas vent from weapon outfitters? Their are videos on you tube of this product and it look as if it works but would like to get some first hand info.

I would also like to here some reports, has anyone paid 39 bucks for one yet?

I wonder if anyone drilled one. It probably works just as good...

I've had one for quite a while now, and it works as advertised. I started out with a PRI gasbuster charging handle and then added this. Between the gas vent and the charging handle, it cuts a lot of the blowback down. If I decided to build another AR, I'd do it again, I mean it's only $39.

Have you tried it without the Gasbuster? How's that work?

Not yet, maybe one of these days.

Have you ever taken a forward assist apart? Too much going on in there to let anything out properly with the claw and spring in the way.

I have one and it works well with a siliconed charging handle. we have tried drilling a regular FA and it sucked then we dried cutting "gills" with a dremel... No worky either. There is just too much crap in there.

I have one as well. I use it with a RTV'd GasBuster and I get no gas.

Think I would rather drill a small hole into the right side of the charger handle where the 'ear' meets the leg.
