Quoted: I just bought a SilencerCo GDCH from the second batch that they just released. Haven't had a chance to use it yet but I've heard very good things. The only other one I'd spring for would be a Raptor-SD with the NP3 coating but good luck finding it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The cheap way to handle the charging handle is a little RTV and a small drill bit. That’s what I’ve done, even with adjustable gas blocks. You can also get adjustable BCGs, custom gas tubes, adjustable gas keys, etc. @BigWaylon, what’s the drill bit for? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: @BigWaylon, what’s the drill bit for? As mentioned…drilling a hole.  It works well with standard CHs. Might not work with ambi versions. But I run AGBs on most of my SBRs, and standard CHs on all of them. You’re basically just drilling a small hole from the flat surface opposite the latch, and make sure the hole connects to the channel. The RTV blocks a good bit and the hole routes some out that side. Here’s a write-up had bookmarked that will help you visualize it. Exact drill bit size isn’t that important…just something to provide an outlet from the channel. Click Me |

Click Me Interesting, I have radian raptors in all of my guns so far, putting together a 12.5 sbr to use with my first suppressor. Have you seen the SD versions with the holes cross drilled about half way back from the BCG end? Think that could be replicated by drilling a normal one? |

You need ammo and a host. That's it.
Everything else is ways to spend money. By all means if you want things, buy them... but ammo and host are the only necessary items. No one here uses all sorts of weird lubes and antiseize, no one here uses rocksett, no one here uses alignment rods, things to take off hot cans, etc. If we're talking about specific charging handles, adjustable gas blocks, etc... that's not a need either. That's a maybe you want this for fine tuning after you know exactly what the issue is and what you're trying to resolve. Same as a first gun- get the gun and ammo and have range time. |

While I agree to a point about what you need and what is nice to have.
As my can collection grows, I am finding that organizing things is what I needed. Now this is for brakes, mounts, boosters, stuff you might need for cans, tools, and specialty tools ect. This or a larger fishing tackle box is what I recommend. Get name brands if you have to have the bling, or just take a few tools with you to see if they fit. Think stackable. Here is a link to what I am talking about. You may want to look around before you spend but having things where you need them and organized helps. https://www.homedepot.com/b/Tools-Tool-Storage-Small-Parts-Organizers/Tool-Storage/N-5yc1vZc28pZ1z1c725 |

I've been shooting taper mounts for years. Nothing needed on the threads or tapers to keep them from seizing. Use proper torque on the MD, and the cans come off easy when you need them, and stay put when shooting.
Maybe pick up rocksett of you are using a can/adapter on the taper mount. The adapters will stick on the mount, and the can comes off. So use rocksett on the can/adapter interface. A leather glove in the range bag is a good idea, but also wait and let it cool a little before handling. |
