I was at the range shooting a 45 ACP AR 15 and I noticed a big fireball coming out the end of my 45 Tirant with fixed piston. Never seen that before. The range safety guy calls a cease fire and I look at the end of my silencer and its not there. Nothings there. Just the tube. So we go down to look for the guts and 40 yards down range theres silencer baffles laying all over the place. I managed to find all the pieces and to my total surprise none of them looked damaged. The end cap threads look pretty weak but it all screws back together.
What do you think? Heading back to AAC for an evaluation?

Yep. That's what warranties are for, and I'm sure AAC will get you squared away. Probably out-of-spec threads

I cleaned my Tyrant 45 can in a ultrasonic cleaner with the same method I used on my SWR.
The Tyrant tube came out bright silver colour. Only a few scraps of black paint still on it.
I thought that tube was parkerized or something or I'd not have done that.

I did get it back with all new internals, end cap. Took 3 months.
