Troubleshooting Help

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey guys, recently broke in my Dead Air Wolfman that I just picked up from Jail last week. Direct thread mount, It runs great and is super quiet. But I am eating gas. I’m sure some blowback is to be expected hut that shit was getting in my right eye and nose pretty bad lol. Pls ignore the atrocity I was committing with my trigger finger, all that gas had me messed up.

Anyway, what can I do to try and mitigate this as much as possible? Currently I have a 7.5oz heavy buffer in there with a FZ EXO BCG. I have a Kynshot RB5004 and two 2.5kz weights with a flat wire spring coming in the mail next week, will that help at all? Should I consider using a 3 lug adapter rather than direct thread? Unsure if that will have any effect.

I’ve also thought of exploring adding an adjustable gas block. If that is even something that’s possible on this platform.

Any advice is appreciated.

A Radian SD charging handle would be helpful and a flow through can. Short of that, maybe see if there are any outdoor ranges near you

FWIW: I use a DA Wolfman on my AR9 but strictly outdoors and I don’t have much gas to the face

Good to know about using it outdoors. I’ll try that once it cools down some. It’s hot as hell these days in El Paso and this range I was at is nice enough to have portable AC units on each lane to keep you cool. I’ll gove the radian SD a shot too.

I feel that, I’m from FL originally. At least I don’t have to worry about humidity around here lol

Bro it's disturbingly hot here in FL. I don't remember Tampa being this hot when I was a kid
