On the advice of our forum NFA dealer, I ordered an AR Gas Vent in order to prevent gas to the face during my upcoming EAG Carbine class as I'll be running my 5.45 AR with my Saker 556.
I will report back with word on how well it works.

RTV sealed charging handle?
Taking a break from social media.
No, but the same effect is achieved with the BCM Gunfighter handle's raised lip.Originally Posted by CCT125US

Yes and no.
I prefer to combine the two. The revised BCM CH (the first ones had no lip) deflects, but the rtv actually seals, or tries to.
Excellent advice, thank you. Orange or black RTV or does it matter?

I don't think it matters. I think mine is red. I kinda like the contrast with the black so I can tell it's still there.
I read Zak's article below probably 10 years ago, and not sure if anything's changed since then, but he lists a specific kind and says color makes no difference.

ETA: I like red for the same reasons.

Are you still running 7N6?
Do you plan on running 7N6 in a can?
Yup and yup. Already tried it out and zeroed for 7N6 with the can

Huh. I never noticed the revision to add the lip - I had one of the older BCM CHs without it (and substituted a PRI for suppressor use). I recently purchased a new 11.5" BCM KMR upper, and sure enough, it has the lip. Thanks for pointing this out - nice update!
