HK416 10.4" overgassing with Surefire SOCOM 556

Hello,

I been training with the rifle for the past few weeks and the rifle has been running flawlessly with no jams, no stove pipes, and no malfunctions. However, I noticed it's been overgassing, especially at high rates of fire. Overgassing as in gas in my face. Although the sweet smell of powder is amazing, it can get hard to breathe while shooting. I have a PRI Gas Buster charging handle and the Gas Vent already installed on the rifle.

I did a search and saw many people found solutions with a heavier buffer such as the XH at 8.5 OZ from heavy buffers (Heavy Buffers | Products | AR15 Carbine) and a Wolf Spring (Heavy Buffers | Springs). I believe some people stated the buffer and the spring reduced the overgassing, but the overgassing was still there.

I noticed that there is an even heavier buffer that is an anti tilt buffer and at 12.5 OZ (Heavy Buffers | Products | Anti-Tilt | AR15 Rifle).

I'm wondering if I were to get the anti tilt buffer 12.5 and combine it with the heavy spring would eliminate my overgassing? Anybody have this setup?

Any recommendations and input is greatly welcome! Thank you.
