    It runs like a champ. I put about 120 rounds on M193 through it yesterday afternoon with out an issue and the can stayed nice and tight, which is great because once they get hot that are tough to re-tighten even with good gloves on.

    BTW in New Zealand, where I grew up, cans are unregulated and we use them on everything.

    Good to hear. Yeah I wish we could get our shit together here in VT. I used a can this week with my kids, 7 & 9 and it was awesome, we brought eyes and ears to the range but when we were alone and shooting just the .22 with the can no ears were necessary and it was a lot more fun especially in the heat.

    Looks good... I like it.

    How regulated are guns in NZ? I have always wanted to go there.

    Lots of licensure. You need separate endorsements for each type, and to belong to a club, etc. Similar to a cdl and other specialized auto licenses in the us, as I understand. I looked into it a while back briefly.

    Do you want to send a check or PayPal??

    Shot 400+ rounds this AM zero problems, for a total of more than 550 rounds with no issues.

    3MOA of POI shift to 6 o'clock from the A2 flash hider to the barrel mounted can with M193 and M855. Shot a couple of very nice 1.25-1.5" groups using Hornady TAP 75gr, and the EOTech at 100yds.

    Here she is after the range session.

    PMO is how I roll, wiseguy. PM me your address.

    ETA: Back it up. You shot 550 rounds on a crush washer, or with proper shims? If you shot it with shims I don't owe you shit.

    Cameron ruined my "I got my can to fit super close" thread that I had planned on starting once I got my stamp back... here is a pic of it at the class 3 dealer for test fitting.

    Its a Knight's SR-15 11.5" factory SBR upper (URX II) with an AAC 7.62 SDN-6 mounted on their (AAC) two port muzzle brake. I used the crush washer that came with the upper and milled down about 1/32" off of both sides to give it some flats; I hope this will better stabilize the brake on the barrel shoulder... I then attached the muzzle brake (with plenty of rocksett) which timed properly with only about 60 degrees of rotation after hand tightening. Lucky for me, my SDN-6 locks up dead solid on the 51T AAC mount.

    Hope this helps, E-man
