Mitigating/eliminating blowback w/5.56mm can

General silencer discussion. If you want to talk about a specific silenced rifle or pistol, it is best to do that in the rifle or pistol section for that brand.

Oh, it certainly would help to get lefty uppers for suppressed 5.56, but it seems the gas block addressed the issue.

That's great! I like to put Odinworks many click position gas blocks on Blackouts and some 5.56 sbr's, it seems to help with a lot of issues rather than messing with recoil springs or buffers all the time...

I even have a SlideFire stock on a registered Multi lower SBR and the Odinworks adjustable gas block lets me fine tune for shooting subs with a suppressor or supers without and anything in between. Different suppressors and different ammo can cause a lot of confusion but I just trial and error different combos and stick with what seems to work best. Curiously, I get the best performance in 300 Blackout with or without the SlideFire and with or without a suppressor from the cheapest Remington UMC ammo there is... and S&B case lot 200 grain subs...!

I use an Elite Iron Bravo 1 on my 300 Blackouts and .308 Wins. with no blow-back.

I have one of their CQC brakes for 5.56 and will try firing one of my 5.56 rifles with the .30 caliber can. I expect there will be no blow-back due to the larger internal volume of the Bravo 1 can.
