PRI 7.62mm Gas Buster Charging Handle

Anyone out there used one of these for their 7.62mm ARs? I am wondering if their performance is worth shelling out an additional $100. I do use a suppressor on this rifle, so less blowback would be desirable. Thanks for any advice.

M40A1- I know right? Worked for me... If, Mr. Green, you're a Ranger (which I know you're not), since you're "on deployment" getting a suppressor is as easy as walking to your squad box, opening it, and.... yep, there they are, take your pick. And carry on with your fucking mission instead...

Re: need sheriff help

Sukhoi- Here's my advice since you asked for it- strap your boots on, go take your suppressor paperwork to your sheriff and be completely honest about why you want a suppressor. He can't do anything to you but tell you he won't sign it- there's absolutely nothing to be nervous about, it's your right...

Re: Robarm XCR

Doesn't seem to care too much for mud does it? I was half expecting the receiver to blow up in his face after he popped it out of the water and started firing without letting it drain, though, so that's a plus one over the M4.

Re: Brand New .45 ACP Ammunition. MUST SEE!

I took out a box of 9mm Tula back in January along with a couple boxes of Federal Champion FMJ to use with my Glock 17. This was back when my Walmart got their first shipment of Tula in, so I decided to test them out. I had 8 FTF with the box of Tula! I couldn't work through a single magazine withou...

Re: Gemtech Halo...not a fan

I used a Gemtech Halo in Iraq on my M4 for quite a while, and wasn't pleased either. It was issued to us, so I was stuck using it (some of that cheapest bidder gets the contract s--t). It did quiet the blast down some, but not nearly as much as say an AAC M4-2000. I say keep the Halo on reserve, and...

Re: Thinking of getting a YH for my p22

Looks like too little too late, but whenever you get your Mite in, take out a Silencerco Sparrow and AAC Element out with it... Then you will see first-hand why you have been getting the advice you've received thus far. Videos don't mean s--t with suppressors, only personal use; let your ears be the...

Spend a little extra cash for a Silencerco Sparrow or AAC Element- it will be money well spent.

I had a very reputable gunsmith mount it onto mine, and it fit like a glove, rock solid. Paid $50 labor, plenty worth it to me to have it done right the first time. I plan on testing it out tomorrow :D

Re: New 147 grain 9mm SUBSONIC Loads

Through my Glock 17 the Fiocchi 158 grains average 950 fps. I tested some Winchester 147gr subs alongside the 158 Fiocchi subs yesterday, they averaged 162 fps. I didnt notice any difference in recoil, although to my ears the Fiocchi was quieter.
