Re: Get a 5.56 can or 7.62 can?
A 762 can should be your first can. Once you start shooting suppressed you'll want to shoot everything suppressed. A 762 can allows you to shoot every caliber below it with little to no noise increase without having to wait to get a bigger can. I've been told the sound difference isn't even perceiva...

Re: 9mm Silencer Recommendation Request
Its been a while since I saw the third party testing, but I think the Tirant averaged about 1-2 DB quieter. However, unless your ears are better than mine I doubt you'll be able to the difference between them. I know I can't tell the difference between my Tirant 9 & Octane 45 shooting 9mm on the...

Re: Looking for 338 can
They may not be as sexy as the new Ultra 338, but the older TBAC 338P-1 or BA would be a decent can for your purposes. Its available now instead of waiting a month or two for dealers to get the new Ultras in.

Re: 7.62 Suppressor Question
Since you asked about the Mystic X, do you want the can to do double duty of pistol and rifle rounds? To my knowledge the Mystic X is the only can currently on the market that can handle both rifle and pistol rounds, but it is limited to 9mm or less for pistols and 300 blk/762x39/6.8 SPC/6.5 Grendel...

Re: .357 in a 9mm Can
Personally I don't see why it wouldn't handle it. I wouldn't worry about the volume of gas, the MK9K is a pretty huge can. And we're not dealing with all that much more propellant. Yes you have about double the amount of propellant (though often not quite that much more), but you also have double t...

Re: Next Can Suggestions
I think you are putting the cart before the horse. I recommend figuring out which firearm you want to suppress next, then picking the appropriate can will be much easier.

Re: Stuck Between 3 Silencers
For a bolt gun, I'd go for a large titanium can because it will offer the maximum suppression in the lightest possible package. So I'd get the 300-TM from those choices. It's lighter than cyclone and has more volume and tougher than the Omega. I'm still not completely sold on Omega. It's advertised ...

I bought the Saker after seeing all the specs and such but now it seems all the support and newer items coming out are for Specwar mounting systems. I like the way the Saker mounts, it seems easier because you grab the whole can, not some little locking ring to mount/dismount it. Its easier for me ...

Re: Free Silencerco Suppressor Pouche promotion
If you have any decent mechanical skills, and a YouTube connection, you can build one. If you want to shoot it for precision, I'd get the upper built by a pro, as head-spacing the bolt, etc can be an issue. But if you're fine with decent (1" accuracy), and you want to save a few hundred dollar...

I just bought a Hornady Hot Tub thinking that it would help make cleaning a lot of my pistols faster and easier than the conventional way. I learned the hard way that this is simply not true.

Cleaning hard suppressor buildup on muzzle
On my 24" 308 bolt gun I'm starting to have some pretty hard carbon build-up on the muzzle that is very difficult to clean. It reminds me of the carbon build up you get on a QD mount after shooting it suppressed. I'm using a direct thread TBAC 30P-1, shooting my 175 SMK hand loads with 39.9 gr ...

Re: Which AAC Brake on SRS .308 barrel for SDN-6?
Not sure what you're asking. the 51T 762 brake is the only one from AAC that will work with your can. If you're wanting to know the thread pitch, the manufacturer should list it on their page or you can ask Desert Tech directly through email or phone. My 2 cents, I'd get a 51T flash hider since it's...

With the exception of 22lr cans, I've notice that nearly all rifle cans regardless of manufacture, purpose, caliber, or attachment method are 1.5" outside diameter. Is there a reason for this? I understand why they wouldn't make them smaller, but I figure some would be greater than 1.5 inches. ...

Re: Big bore AR: 50 beowulf, 458 socom, or 450 bushmaster?
I've heard the 458 socom uses standard unmodified AR-15 magazines without any problems, but 50 Beowulf needs the feed lips to be bent outward a little to ensure reliable feeding. Something to consider since the industry is moving towards polymer mags that can't be bent.

Are Piston semi-autos hearing safe at ear?
Guys, I know AR-15s in 556 are not hearing safe at the shooter's ear because of the noise coming from the ejection port. Is the noise coming from the gas being expelled from the gas tube or is it coming from the chamber? Assuming the majority of the port noise is from the gas tube, would a piston dr...

The finish should last unless you are making the can glow from heat. If that much has burned of...

People with more experience than me can probably answer better, but here is what I've learn over the past year: SiCo Omega or other center fire cans - really never as long as you shoot full power rifle rounds.
