I think they announced it last year and now they have both side vending and down venting models. They have videos of it and the guns run fine.
It’s an attempt to reduce gas in the face when shooting suppressed. There’s already so much fouling being vented into the mag of a suppressed AR that I really doubt more will negatively affect the firearm’s function.

This I understand, has been the goal/dream of suppressed shooters forever it seems.
My point is why add more? Seems like asking for trouble. My opinion so take it for what’s it’s worth

Some real hardcore use there. Here fired what?, like 60-100 rounds. GTFOH
You’re missing my point. I’m not saying silencers aren’t mainstream. I’m saying no one gives a shit about port pop to the extent that one should replace their carrier. Which is what this was designed for.
Exactly. So I’m not sure what the point of the carrier is other than to change the direction of gas.
I have one that I tried out when I was zeroing a scope. I did notice less gas in face--lefty rifle shooter. I was shooting either unsuppressed or flow-through can.
My impression when I got home was there was a bit more schmutz that wiped out of the mag well, but its possible it was on par with normal and I was just noticing it bc I was looking for it.

I've had one for about four months. I bought it for my work rifle. I put it in a truck gun I was working on to test it until I could get a full range day to beat on it in my work rifle. My suppressors are not flow through, so gas in the face can be significant at times. The downdraft BCG made such a big difference, I bought a second one for my work gun. I haven't been able to tell much difference in the amount of debris in the magwell / magazine. Might be different with a flow through can. At any rate, I have had no reliability issues with either rifle using these BCG's. In fact, ejection has been more positive and consistent with the double ejectors.
agrred. worrying about port pop seems like nonsense to me, since its a super sonic round. who tf shoots a suppressed AR15 without ear pro?
Nah it's a positive thread now. Team Downvent forever.
That made me laugh.
Pick one up though and report back. I think it’s pointless. But hell maybe it’s got some merit
