Re: My 4 year battle with AAC to fix a defective suppressor...

Back in the old days of aac I had the exact same problem. I bought a cyclone and the threads on the can were not concentric to the bore/endcap. My gun shot the 6-12 inch groups you speak about. I mailed it back and Mke Mers (I think that was his name) called me a month later and said the can could n...

Re: Degroat mk12 help

Bender if you ever do a recore of these cans please put me on the list. This can is nice and quiet but it is a pain in the ass to get apart.

Re: Degroat mk12 help

Bender Sorry I was not clear. The tube would be sitting on top of the table with the threads on the bottom. I put the stainless spacer in and the 1st stainless baffle would go in with the convex portion inside of the stainless spacer. So as I built my stack from bottom to top it would look like the ...

Re: Degroat mk12 help

Here is a picture of the 2 ways the baffles can be installed. I had them installed like the one on the left which it sounds like it may be backwards.

Thanks for your help Bender.

Does anybody that has had one of these cans opened up have a picture of how the spacers and the baffles align? I took mine a part to clean it and I am not sure I got the baffles facing the correct way. Thanks

Re: Subsonic 220 gr 308 load with trailboss

I called magnetospeed and they said to put the bayonet a hair closer to the bore and it should work. Basically I have to compensate for the larger size exit hole of the suppressor without shooting the bayonet. I will let you know how it works out. Thanks for you ideas and help.

Subsonic 220 gr 308 load with trailboss

I am having a difficult time getting consistent velocity results out of my brothers aac 308. Does using magnum primers help with getting the powder to burn more consistently? I have tried 12.0 grains up to 12.7 that seem to be subsonic but I am getting funny readings with my magneto speed. Bullets s...

Re: Buyer beware of Advanced Armament/an ongoing experience

My take is the employees at aac are good people. Nick always responds to my dumb ass emails and gets me headed down the right path. I ordered a mount from their website and a week later it showed up at my door from another company so they are doing something to get you what you need while they are m...

Re: A new way to clean baffles??!!

I have left my Spectre baffles in my tumbler overnight and they came out spotless. I had been using it on a m16 with a 22 kit and had not cleaned it in a year so it was nasty.

Re: Aluminum baffles have pits in them. Can this be stopped

I took it apart last night and the main issue is bad putting on 1 of the spacers. I sent a picture to victor at Us anodizing and he is going to see if he can help me out.

Re: Aluminum baffles have pits in them. Can this be stopped

Weight is not an issue. I won't weld the can up because then I can't clean it. Can is for 300 whisper subsonic.

Re: Aluminum baffles have pits in them. Can this be stopped

We did not because you were worried about them fitting back in the tube. It is a tight fit the way it is before re anodizing.

Aluminum baffles have pits in them. Can this be stopped

I have a can with aluminum baffles and there are a few pits in some of the baffles. Is there any way to stop the pits from getting worse? The baffle is a 2 piece design with a tube and cap construction. The pitting is on the tubes which are basically spacers. Manufacturer probably won't help me out ...

Re: Socom 556 acceptable sound reduction?

I have fired my 5.56 socom at night on my m16. With a 11.5 inch barrel you get a decent flash on the 1st round but the rest look like a small 1-2 inch flame coming out. Definitely louder than my aac 7.62 sdn-6 but there was a much larger flash on the 7.62 sdn-6 but it is also a 30 cal can. The test ...

Re: Is it worth it to upgrade a Spectre

I bought a Spectre 2 instead of upgrading when the upgrade 1st came out. The 2 is on a bolt gun that never gets shot and to be honest I have never taken the 2 apart. The Spectre 1 is on my 22 kit for my m16 with a 4.5 inch barrel. It gets abused and although I got the baffles clean there is so much ...

Is it worth it to upgrade a Spectre

I have a Spectre and I was wondering if the upgrade is worth it. Does it make the can easier to clean? I took mine apart yesterday and even with a tumbler with stainless pins it was a bitch. Probably 1200 rounds through the can.

Thanks

Which direct thread 30 cal can?

I have not been in the market for a suppressor in a few years and things sure have changed. Can you recommend a direct thread 30 cal can for 308, 3006, and 300 wby mag? I would say weight/length is more important to me than being the quietest.

Re: subsonic .308 10" barrel 1-10 twist

My barrel is a douglas. I had the gun built and I love it.

I would reccomend looking at a different action than a remington 700 because of ejection issues. If i had it to do over again I would use a cz action.
