Looks interesting. I look forward to seeing it this weekend.

I have a 2006 AAC Ranger, what's the difference in the two? The db reduction seems to be the same as well as the dimensions. It looks like the 2007 model is 2 oz. lighter. Anything else?

MadDog :p

ETA: I don't see any weld marks on the new model. How is it constructed?

2007 model is much stronger as the baffles are welded to each spacer on a CNC robot welder before being pressed into the outer-tube. The end caps are welded to the tube with full penetration circumferential welds. The bore is cut on EDM for extreme accuracy. The finish is Rockwell ~69 SCARmor and scratch and burn proof. The barrel threads are now class-3 to make it less likely to unscrew. The end cap is now flat to match the other new designs.

What are class-3 barrel threads and how do they keep the suppressor from unscrewing?

Thanks,
MadDog :confused:

How do you clean one of these?

Thanks,

John

[rsilvers]

It does not need cleaning. You can soak it in solvent if you want but it is not necessary.

MadDog what's the barrel length on that upper?

Rsilvers- Will this work on a 8"bbl upper?

[rsilvers]

It would be excellent on an 8 inch barrel. However, it will cause more stress than a longer barrel and AAC warrants down to 10 inch. But if you do not mind being on your own for that, it will be more durable than ANY, and I mean ANY other brand*

** but I know of a lot.

I think you mean to say "and" and not "but" in that last clarification.

vinesr6,

The barrel length on my blaster is 11.5" with a 12" FF hand guard covering one inch of the Ranger. The OAL of the barrel with the can mounted is 17".
