AAC at SHOT

[jnitti1014]

Will the 51t brakeout 2.0 be compatible with the older 51t system?

[Kramer]

Originally, there was talk about putting the serial number pm the Ranger 3's rear-most part and using a sort of sectional design to allow for future repairs without the hassle and wait of a new stamp.

Silencerco originally said that with the Osprey. The serial number was placed on the booster so they could replace the outer tube if damaged.

The BrakeOut2 has 31% better recoil reduction than the BrakeOut(1) and is equal to an AAC dual-chamber or TiTAN dedicated brake - but with good flash reduction (better than BrakeOut1).

[seattlite]

Any new adapters debut at SHOT? Perhaps a TiRant MP5 3-lug?...

New Brakeout 2.0 51 tooth mount.

No 3-lug yet... it is coming in 2014 I promise!

Will the 3-Lug fit the Ti-Rant 9s? How about the Ti-Rant 45?

Does it still ring like a tunning fork? Maybe less because the prongs are shorter?

[silencertalk]

I don't see how. It is braced.

The Blackout flash suppressor is still best if you want the very best flash suppression and the lowest noise. This does not need timing. No shims.

The BrakeOut2 is best if you want the best recoil reduction (equal to the best AAC dedicated brake) as well as flash suppression, and want to reduce erosion of silencer baffles. This does not need timing. No shims.

A normal muzzle brake is best if you want the rifle for states that ban flash suppressors (the BrakeOut2 counts as a flash suppressor as you can see from the photo). Needs shims.

FWIW, I have many Brakeouts and not one ping.

Thanks for posting the pictures and new info on the mounts Robert.

Lighter means more material removal is needed, which means more machining time. Time is money, more machining is more wear and tear on the machine and tooling. More machining on Inconel even more wear and tear on tooling.

Not buying that one here. Thinking the reason is to compete and gain back people .

They where on the skin of their "teeth".

I think they had to drop the price . . . we can probably thank the SWR-named/SilencerCo-built cans for that.

Good ol' fashioned capitalism and market competition..... works wonders for consumers

Yes. But only dogs and bats can hear it.

Shorter = higher frequency
Longer = lower frequency

Partially being cute, but the scientific rules are relevant.

Still, this is really cool tech and bravo to aac.

Any idea on a release timeframe of the BrakeOut 2's?

[mk23]

Any idea on a release timeframe of the BrakeOut 2's?

Yes, please, when can we buy the BrakeOut 2?

[silencertalk]

It is best to ask AAC sales directly.

Breakout 2.0 on must own list.

Thanks for the info on the new mounts.

Does the new 762SD rate the same as the old one? Or how does it rate compared to the N6?

[Hater]

Does the new 762SD rate the same as the old one? Or how does it rate compared to the N6?

These are my questions also.

Old SD was longer than N6, had secondary stainless baffles, but weighed basically the same and was metered to be slightly quieter - at least on full-length 308/7.62.

AAC video from '14 Shot - "1_ar_newbie" says new SD is longer than N6 (like before, this we knew) but has "fewer baffles" and will be slightly louder. I think the quote was "a couple of dB's."

Did the old SD have fewer baffles than the N6? Or is reducing the number of baffles one of the measures that will allow the new SD to come in at a price point of $400 less MSRP ($650 vs $1050)? If the old SD and the new SD have the same number of baffles, then the only differences are the mounting system and the all Inconel baffle stack on the new SD, correct? Seems like it would be just as quiet as before...

In the same video mentioned above, 1_ar_newbie also discusses the new 556SD. He says one of the cost cutting measures over the M4-2000 is that the "geometry" on the baffles is different and therefore easier to machine. Is this the case also with the new 762SD's baffles vs the 762SDN-6?

The 'N-6 has more (tighter-spaced) baffles than the old and new 762-SD's do.

Good questions on the cost-cutting/design:
The new and old 762-SDs should sound about the same- size and number of baffles etc.
(Not 100% on what/if AAC changed on the baffles, but they are at least very close to the traditional AAC press-formed Inconel cones. the baffles are minimally machined to begin with- turned edges and final EDM bore).

Talking w/ John at the GAO show in Harrisburg last week, the -N6 has reduced backpressure, based on the baffle design, compared to the -SD. Bolt guns won't see the difference, but if you're running it on an autoloader, you might have to tweak your gas system.

The -S line of TiRants are pretty sweet, too. Sacrifice a little in dry sound reduction for a lot shorter OAL.

Personally, if they could do a Ti can in the -N6 dimensions, I'd be on it like a fat kid on a ham sandwich.

Great seeing John again and meeting Mike. Looking forward to the future!

The new 762-SD is the same design as last time we made it. However, the new design is more durable since it is made with all Inconel baffles.

Why not add a flat baffle on the end?
Would help redirect more discharge gas through the prongs and all connected at tips to prevent harmonic resonance.

The old Ranger 3 model displayed for 2013 SHOT looked like a shorter M42000 with thread adapter and IIRC was said to have the same or similar baffle stack. The new Ranger 3 looks different, more like the new economy quick attach suppressor line you guys are offering.

Can you comment on the makeup of baffles, comparative DB rating, and weight/length specs for the latest iteration of the Ranger 3 with your other offerings and the originally advertized Ranger 3 specs?

[delta9mda]

762sd = 8 baffles
sdn6 = 9 baffles (spaced much closer).

theres plenty of numbers from both cans on majors site.

Because that would actually reduce the flash suppression and is substantially more prone to erosion (see: Phantom-style silencer mounts).
