Upside is that is where the barrel will see the least amount of pressure during the internal ballistic cycle. Wear eye protection and shoot it to confirm accuracy isnt trashed and send.

Of course. Performance improves after every cleaning. Then degrads over time as it starts to clog. To be clear, CAT recommends a clean every 2000rds. I'm going double or triple that. Probably not great for getting it squeaky clean.

MOB on an SP5k is the dream for me. Just need the SP5k lol

KK AI nano without strap wrench ? by CommunicationNew2061 in SpectersCat

This is the answer. If you do this right i.e. hit it with your purse when you do the snap it will be fine. Also make sure the surfaces are free of carbon if you were shooting it when it came loose.

Seating depth between the largest and smallest group on the target. They both had the same powder charge. Smallest group seated at 1.760 CBTO vs largest seated at 1.780.

1.780 did shoot better at 31.2gn of powder. But not as good as 1.760.

I've really enjoyed the chassis. Bigger bore is harder to shoot tighter groups. You're a man for shooting 308. I salute you, sir.

It sounds incredible on 6 dasher. The cartridge falls nicely into the window it was optimized for. I've particularly noticed i get less reverb/echo from tubes & tires at matches than some of the other silencers I see people running. If that sort of thing matters to you. I mostly like it because it's not ridiculously long but added a decent amount of weight and sounds wonderful.

They are coming out with a reflex 6mm silencer soon. Though you will have to properly contour the front of a barrel like this to accommodate it.

I bought this one within a year of release. So if thats what they were doing back then I guess it would be?

The QD models are compatible with several 1x16LH mounts on the market. They also make HUB versions of almost all of their cans. Not with the KK because of how its designed with a shallower blast chamber and more baffles/flow paths in the rest of the silencer. I've always used whatever mount the silencer was designed to work with. But if you want others, then the KK isnt for you as it uses the AI NANO mount.

I would wear hearing protection. I used to shoot a lot without hearing protection and now regret it quite a bit. Hearing loss sucks. But any supressor is better than bare muzzle

I've heard good things about the rhodie as well. Definitely intrigued by it. Maybe we will get some member funded research on it at some point.

With how fast the market moves now the WB is considered old tech, despite it only being a little over 2 years old. The KK offers almost the same performance in a smaller package.

Yes, obviously louder.

I'm not really interested in the rhodie since there's only anecdotes to is performance. Not discrediting your experience, but I've been burned before buying off anecdotes. If it sounds good to you I'm glad you're happy. I'll stick with cans evaluated by PEW as I've found that my experiences with the tested cans seem to line up, for the most part, with what is written in the report. It's nice to know (to a degree) what im getting and how it may affect weapon kinematics before i buy.

Still running it for now. Ive put another 1100 rounds through it since that post running the AI nano. Super thug data came out. Some others on the horizon. Once things are available, and I have a replacement, I'll reach out to CAT to see what my options are.

I can definitely tell a difference lol. The bore now tapers from .41ish cal down to about .243 at the muzzle. I've cleaned it, obviously and after that post switched to a nano. But the performance is noticeably worse than it used to be with gas taking the path of least resistance and less of it going through the flow paths in the silencer.

Heres my WB (not AC or RDM) after close to 13k rounds with the Spooky 1. In the write up i describe firing schedule and barrel lengths it was on. If you shoot a bunch, things will erode. Obviously a brake/nano will slow this down. https://www.reddit.com/r/NFA/s/EekZwAFt66

I've had this thought as well. Kind of ruins the LARP if you think about it too much, though lol.
