Another idea to think on... I don't know anyone else's experience, but here is mine...
Your rifle can be tuned to work perfectly non suppressed, but add a suppressor and it can change the 'tuning' of it. I went through several iterations to be able to have a rifle that will run suppressed and unsuppressed both.
I ended up having to use a extra power spring and a heavier buffer which allowed me to find that zone where both work. I do run an adjustable block but that's just me. I shoot suppressed 95% of the time but I also did extensive testing and tuning to make sure it will run both ways should the need arise. It's not directly applicable to gas face or charging handles but I felt it worth the mention.

But that was the whole point of my first post. If you start with a properly gassed barrel from the beginning, you eliminate all of the doodads (which equals additional money) and time wasted tuning to make it work AND you eliminate the issue of gas venting into the face.
If guys want to buy devices to combat an already existing condition, I get it. And many of those devices work very well. But what seems to have been missed when I initially posted is, if starting from scratch, it doesn't really matter what charging handle/carrier/suppressor/whatever you're using as long as you begin with a barrel that is built to match whatever ammo load you intend to use.
$99 barrels on sale are great, but there is a potential (but not a guarantee) that the $99 barrel will require additional monies to make it "more better" to run, given whatever one's needs are.

Hahahaha. Welcome Aragorn!
Handle them at TRIGGRCON. Already told Nick I wanted to order some. I like the feel of them and the lower price. I think they will do very well. They also dropped the price of the regular Raptor to $79.99. With sales, I suspect you'll see them in the Mid $60's.

I don't know.
I would guess market. When Rainier was involved in the distribution of the Raptor, I believe the price was 89.99 from what I recall. When AXTS/Radian went to do it alone, the price went up to $99.99 - $120 depending on cerakote/color options.
Now it's back down to $79.99 with a $59.99 LT Option. I would also guess that by now they recouped their R&D money as well as got better and more efficient at making them.
