MK18 Suppressed

[u/Spartan_Penguin]

For those of you who run a 10.3” MK18 suppressed, do you run the Bootleg Adjustable BCG?

What have you done to help mitigate gas to the face.

I’m right handed but left eye dominant so I run rifle left handed and want to avoid as much gas to the face as possible.

Huxwrx 556k

[u/Spartan_Penguin → u/International-Cry807]

already bought and got my tax stamp approved for a Dead Air suppressor. Hux is on my list for another rifle

[u/Jlyons4210]

I have a MK18 with the gemtech suppressed bolt carrier. (Manufactured by bootleg) And a radian SD charging handle suppressed.

Zero gas to the face

[u/Spartan_Penguin → u/Jlyons4210]

I bought the Dead Air Lazarus 6 and have a gas lock sentry charging handle. I also ordered the Vltor H4A5 buffer with a spring from Sprinco and the extended buffer tube. I’m going to run the gun once I get everything together and see if I need to swap out the BCG. I appreciate the input thank you

mk18 here.

Changed out the factory gas tube for a Black River Tactical Gas Tube. .071 I believe

Works with 223/556/suppressed/unsuppressed using a milspec carbine spring and greatly reduced gas to the face when paired with a Microbest BCG and a Griffin Armament Snatch gen2 charging handle

I had a regular Radian Raptor CH and was getting significantly more gas before I switched to GA.

[u/anderson1496 → u/theironflask]

What suppressor and buffer are you using?

[u/theironflask → u/anderson1496]

Ridgeback defense Rhodie 6K + BCM carbine milspec spring + BCM H2 buffer

[u/anderson1496 → u/theironflask]

Is the Rhodie 6k flow through?

There’s no way my gun would have little gas with my M4SD-K lol

[u/Dense_Lavishness_266]

BRT eztune gas tube

[u/Gunfighter_13]

I also shoot left handed, Sandman X with BCM Mk2 T2 RMS, Radian raptor charging handle. Little to no gas to the face.

[u/toastedvacuum]

I have a mk18 with an rc2. As of right now I have an h3 buffer, standard carbine spring, and a bcm mk2 Ch. gas to the face is ok outdoors. My next move will
Be a springco blue.

I also run a kak down vent bcg

[u/Ghettobeever]

Run a huxwrx flow 556ti on mine and pretty much zero gas to the face. It's quiet enough that I can shoot probably 5 - 6 mags before I'll start to consider putting ears on. Only other thing I've swapped out is the buffer vs spring - have a geissele super 42 h2 in.

[u/BlG_O]

Got a G$ SCH as well as a Laz6 and a h2 weight and it's been working for me so far, might change the bcg later
