    Talking Finally got a can to fit, can't get much closer...

    I have been trying to figure out how to mount a can as close as possible to the 10" rail on a 10.5" SBR I think I got it.

    10.5" LMT barrel, 10" Daniel Defense Lite rail and Gemtech M4-02

    Wow, that's pretty tight & looks nice! I'm still trying to figure out what route to go with mine as it's a real DD MK18 with the 10.3" barrel. I doubt your can would work without a shim. I'd rather get a 308 can as well.

    I installed this with a crush washer. I'm pretty happy it worked out.

    Is it just hand tight with the crush washer, or did you have to torque it down somehow? Looks great, by the way.

    Did you have to shave the Rail? Or did just the crush washer do it?

    Im considering having ADCO cut down a BCM 11.5" with 10" Larue rail to 11", to get a more seamless look with suppressor.

    It'll still be cheaper than BCM 11.5" with URX II (which BCM feels the need to charge $270 more than uppers with similarly priced rails like the larue)

    Are you concerened about the rail getting hit at all? Even though that barrel is short, you will encounter some barrel whip.

    If that presents itself, shouldn't hurt rail rigidity much to shorten that inside 1.5" just a bit, but that's a touch expensive, and that might just work perfectly.

    Isn't there a certain level on of concern that should be taken with using a crush washer? I was under the impression that you run the risk of baffle strikes with a crush washer and have always used shims.

    I have $20 that says OP will have a baffle strike and ****ed-up endcap within the first 500 rounds.

    That's hellaflush bro!

    Nice work!

    BTW, I'm pretty sure crush washers are a no no when mounting suppressors as they can sag under extreme heat and could potentially lead to baffle strikes.
