It was mentioned in the other, now locked thread, that the can failed due to improper welding of the seams.
The body and threads were all turned as one piece from solid 400 series SS bar stock. Seen in the pics. below as there is no seam were the threads/collar met the body of the suppressor.
The can was very hot seconds after it split. Three, 20 rd. mags on full auto. Half way thru the fourth is when it failed. Round count of approx. 300 total.
I'm not gunna post the mfg. due to issues w/ it being replaced. But the company is a recognized class 2 mfg. that runs ads in SAR.
