strobro, how far away from the end of the hand guard does the Beer can sit from the rail?

Wondering if the noveske 8.2" + 7" rail is better than a Ranier 8.5" + 7" rail.

.140"

Really wish he wouldve kept the original lighter version. If he had I'd have one on order. Ive got plenty of other 30 cal cans, I want a short, fat and light can specifically for my 300blk. Does Dave still do one-off cans? Ive already got a 9" AAC with a specwar, I want a 6" barrel upper and one of these for subs and playing around but I'm having trouble deciding due to the weight. Its a pretty thick chunk.

I don't know if he still makes customs but if he gives you a quote. let me know! A light weight 300BO 6" barrel and 6" can for subs would be fun.

I have a beer can tall boy for my Uzi. An AWCMK9, comes in at 2" x 11.75" and weighs 29 oz. Portly little thing.

Then there is the Wilson Combat Whisper suppressor that is 1 7/8" x 6 5/16" and weighs 17.8 oz. A bit pricy.

You also own the Wilson whisper? If so, what caliber do you run it on and how does it sound? I considered buying one for my WC 458 socom, but when they told me lead times were 12 months for production alone, I opted to efile a Form1 and build my own.

Short and light. Not quite as fat

wonder if dave would entertain a 45-70/458socom suppressor.

I emailed about a month ago inquiring about a 458 socom suppressor and Dave said there wasn't enough interest at this time. There aren't many choices out there right now for the caliber so I feel like he could easily corner the market for a big bore can.

Mark at Silencer Shop is taking one out to get db readings soon. Once he does that I'll make a decision. I kust like the beer cans extra volume plus it looks awesome. Im only going to use this can on my 300blk so I prefer to get the absolute best for this application. IMO that would be the aluminum version of the beer can.

Its really too bad he doesnt make one. I wouldve bought for mine as well. Instead I've got a bowrrs vers 50 in jail. I ended up with the vers 50 over the other basically stout 45acp cans due to the vers's extra volume. I really think Dave misjudges the market for a vers 50 like can with how popular the big bore ARs are getting.

Does Dave post on this forum?
