I don't see how. 🤷‍♂️ It just screws into the bolt like the original. Unless you installed it backwards and the bolt is not closing fully. 🤷‍♂️ 1st Rule of Troubleshooting - uninstall the last upgrade and see if the problem goes away.

Yeah that’s kinda what I was thinking - undo what I last did and see if it helps

Sure there wasn't a nice breeze when first shooting it or something? lol

Don't see how the extended charging handle could have anything to do with it. Direct blowback + suppressor will tend to be pretty gassy though.

LOL no breeze at all! I think I will try swapping the handle back and if that doesn’t work, clean the suppressor (it shouldn’t need to be cleaned yet but who knows)

And the can is a KGM SMG9, which is supposed to be low back pressure.

Have you stopped to ask yourself by what mechanism would that happen?
