    One of the members here was part of the 51t design and explained how they'd made changes to his original design/tooth count which made it less optimal. I forget the exacts. But none the less, if you hold the latch open when mounting the can, you won't dull the latch teeth.

    I'd buy a 51t can in a minute if I needed a suppressor and found one priced well.
    I agree, for someone who can remember to activate the latch when attaching/removing, it has worked fine. I think there are other mounting systems that have come out since that are superior, so with a similar price point, why not pick a better one? If an AAC came up for sale at a cheaper price, I would consider one still.

    Also, very quiet.
    I bought a Specwar 556k as my 5.56 can and it's great. I would recommend it also. Length is reasonable and it still sounds fine on both 16" and 10.5" uppers. Can't tell it's even been used. I can't say the same about my omega. It had visible blast baffle erosion within my first month of ownership. Not sure why. It doesn't seem to have progressed though.

    Specwar was one I was interested in before I even wanted to get a rifle suppressor. Seeing so much positive feedback on it is nice.

    So if I'm reading corrwctly, the AAC 51T mount is the main point of concern with their cans. So long as you aren't a dumbass with the ratchet, then it would work fine. If that's the case, I may have to say no to the AAC cans as my first rifle suppressor. I do like the suppressors, the affordability and the inconel baffles. But this mount would probably be the reason I choose one of these other suppressor over AAC.

    So what am I missing here? Why is swapping a can from one host to another so hard?

    Aside from it maybe being too hot to touch (and move it) for a few minutes, I'm not seeing what the problem is...

    Glad your the one who brought that up Ironman8. I admit it crossed my mind whenever the others here mentioned all this stuff about swapping hosts. I figured I was solving any problem jumping between calibers by getting a 762 can. Plus, I can hardly call swapping barrels on an lmt mrp "swapping hosts."

    All the suppressor I have in the poll can be mounted to muzzle devices of which are compatible with their 556 counterparts. Hell, the saker will even work on the Specwar and AACs 51t mounts with the right muzzle accessory.

    Right now, I only own two 556 rifles with NO current plans for another 556 or any 762. I'm selling my rem. 700 because I grew so attached to the ar15 platform. So I'm not really major on the hosts thing.

    That being said, I guess my main concern are the what ifs of the future. What if red dawn... What if viral outbreak... What if Clinton... That's why I was looking for a hardcore can that can handle whatever I throw at it(said something like that on original post).

    Tomorrow I will do my own reading on this whole multi host dilemma, but is it really that big a deal?

    I feel I need to apologise. I came on board asking all you who have your own experiences to give me a hand. In doing my best to provide you with whatever information I can on what it is I want. Instead I feel as if I'm making you all run in circles. Let me try and list my thoughts about what I have and am looking for.

    I currently own 2 rifles in 556. One is an lmt mrp that I intend to have the following options for...
    -556 in 10.5, 16 and 20 inch lengths
    -6.8
    -6.5
    -300 black out

    I have not done much research on any caliber other than 556, so I'm virgin to all the others.

    Until I can afford to get caliber specific cans, I will purchase a .30 caliber can that can do most, if not all, of the calibers listed above.

    I want every suppressor I own to be ready for whatever life throws at it. One that can take a beating and still function beautifully. The following is what I used to determine the poll...
    -diameter of 1.5 inches or less
    -full auto rated
    -no titanium
    -must have inconel or stellite blast baffle, if not all
    -must mount directly to a muzzle device, brake or flash
    -muzzle device must have blast shroud option
    -muzzle device must be in 556 configuration, to allow use of 762 and 556 can on same muzzle

    These were the deciding factors in the suppressor above.

    Now to update, after hearing a bit about AAC from you and other sources, I will no longer consider them.

    I know this May be an annoying post/thread, and I thank you for beating with me. We are almost there. As it stands, I am looking more seriously At the Saker, followed by the Specwar. Third would be the Sandman-L.

    Just as an FYI, an adapter to use the dead air keymount muzzled devices with saker and omega cans was just announced. That would make the sandman-l or s as a first can, followed by a saker 556k as your second, a much more appealing idea. Then you retain the use of a single muzzle device, and I know that dead air is planning on releasing a 'blast shroud' as you called it that looks like the pyro, but with no holes in the side walls. If you aren't going surefire, I would look very seriously at that option.

    The heat expansion "hot" /contraction "cold." If you fire a silencer it becomes heated mount or direct thread, you then move it within a few minutes it can be "seized" to the second host.

    here is video for reference:

    go to end maybe 5 min mark, when he is tearing the silencer down for maintenance. *Note this is .22 silencer just imagine how much fun you will have with a larger caliber.

    So I watched that video, he mentioned the host swap problem around 11:50 in the video. But it looked to me like it was only a direct thread problem. All the above are going to be brake mounted. Is this still a problem even with a break?

    I'll certainly retain this knowledge with my octane 9 I'm getting soon, as it will hop between my cz scorpion and sp01 tactical.

    Yes same principles of thermodynamics apply... I would not swap a hot silencer onto a "cold" mount. Just wait for it to cool off then move to another host
