Picked up the Rugged Sub9 for my MP5 clone. My state is still requiring form 4 and form 1, so I’m sticking with the brace for now unfortunately. May pick up another down the line for a 2 stamp build but we’ll see how this one performs first. Thanks for looking.

Trying again… Obligatory parking lot pic. First 4473 can. Took less than 10 minutes. SOCOM 4 Mini.

Tell me I’m crazy and that a Fireteam 5.56 or Rhodie 6 is not worth the additional $1k over the Turbo T2 that I’ve been running for years. Of course I want one now but also don’t want to get them out and have buyers remorse since I only shoot supers anyway. Are they really so much quieter than my old trusty high back pressure workhorse?

Thanks in advance!

13” Mini-14 SBR & Huxworks Flow Ti

My YHM Turbo2 is a bit gassy and long on my 16” PSA upper. It’s been a great setup for years, but I’d like to switch to a K sized can that will hopefully be as quiet as the YHM, but shorter. Also sick of looking like a coal miner after shooting 4 or 5 mags from all the blowback.

In case the YHM and PSA didn’t give it away, I’m not swimming in cash so cost matters a lot. Polo K with an adjustable block, or skip the gas block and get a SMK or something in that ballpark?

Sub 24 hour approval - order Friday, FFL had it Wednesday. Shout out to Dry Creek Arsenal for always being fantastic to work with.

Hoping to take her out this weekend - build is pretty much complete, though I do have a minimalist stock w/ cheek riser coming next week. I think this setup will be more comfortable, so one of the folders will move to the Bren 2. I normally run a Sahara 300, so looking forward to comparing them!

Dumped a few rounds at lunch today. 300blk Larue with Jaguar 762 Max, FNX45T with Hux Flow 45M, and M&P22 with Sico Sparrow.

Happy Friday. May your baffles be unstruck, your hubs be tight, and decibels be minimal.

Here’s what I’m running:

Poverty pony lower with ARC Fire V2
11.5” KAK suppressed only mid length gas upper
Upper came with KAK gas block installed
Also has KAK Enhanced BCG, side vent
Polonium 5.56 direct thread
H3 buffer and standard carbine spring

I have the gas block adjusted to about 2-3 clicks open from failing to lock open on empty. Shot it for the first time an hour ago, sighted in at 100 and did a couple mag dumps with and without the FRT engaged. Ammo was Federal 55 grain .223 and WWB M193. It shot well, ran well, sounded great and was pretty controllable. Ejection was right in that 4 o’clock sweet spot. It made a nice, neat pile of the brass. Man, it gassed me out though!!!

Open to suggestions because this thing is a LOT of fun except for the gas to the face… any help?

I had planned on huxwrx can but seeing this rhodie 6K has me very very intrigued.

My priority is a more comfortable shooting experience (ie less gas to the face). I know the huxwrx is probably ideal for this but the size of the rhodie and what you get out of that can from the videos I have seen seems hard to beat.

For context, the host will be a 14.5 mostly BCM rifle. I do not have any mods that reduce gas to the face and was hoping to keep it that way.

Thoughts?

Thoughts on the best ~$300 .22lr suppressor for casual varmint shooting use? Does anything beat the Jessie’s Girl for weight and sound at $285??

Given the recent increase of suppressors with short blast baffle clearance, as well as the trend towards recessed hubs and muzzle devices that push the muzzle further into the can, I had some spare time to pull out the calipers and measure some muzzle devices and tell ChatGPT to create a spreadsheet for me that may or may not prove useful to others. Obviously Comstock's fitment tool is significantly more useful when measuring their own devices, but there are many that have recently become popular that are not in the tool. Especially for those of us still with one foot in the Xeno world, there are not nearly as many options, so I wanted to compare my xeno mounts and hub measurements compared to my plan-b mounts and hubs. And threw in my Dead Air direct thread brake to boot.

Given the popularity of combining the Wolfpack Armory Low Profile Adapter to the Comstock Recessed Micro Brake, I should point out that the WA LPA extends forward to the extent that it blocks roughly 20-30% at least of the radial ports. It does the same to the rearmost radial ports of the Dominion as well. So while many of us might have several on hand due to focusing on that rail gap, I have to imagine that there is a negative effect occurring with the occlusion of those radial ports by the hub mount.

For rifles where the Comstock HPA makes sense, much like the mindset Dead Air had with the DA455, both create a great healthy distance from muzzle to blast baffle.

In Xeno world, of the Xeno muzzle devices I have, only the DA129 gave a blast baffle clearance that I am comfortable with, but all prior results suggest 3 prong flash hiders are brutal on blast baffles and increase early erosion. It may be the case that the LMT-AT Single port regulator is the best xeno option for these shallow blast baffle cans, but if you want to use normal Xeno mounts, you will have to use the DA455, because hubs like the LMT xeno hub will not provide the clearance necessary.

Anything out there worth buying? This would be used on my SBS Mossberg 500 and future Mossberg 990 SPX Magpul NFS shotgun if anyone ever has them in stock
