    Time. 20 to 30 days rather than a year.

    That's the reason I went with a Form1 can for 9mm and .22LR

    I have 2 that I "built". The first one was from Diversified machine ti tube with a ti baffle kit from hawk innovations i believe. Runs well on my 308 bolt gun, ak, and ar. Second was a jk armament kit with their jig. Turned out amazing. Runs on my 9mm and ak x39. Both are comparable to production cans and I dont regret either one. I hate waiting for stuff so that was a big kicker for me.

    That's huge too. And why I never bought a factory SBR.

    I'm willing to wait for correct gas ports, etc. Not saying you can't build a reliable SBR, but with some platforms it can get tricky.

    That is the number one advantage. And its big, I got mine back so quick it shocked me. I bought 2 45acp Ti-rant modular cans at a DEEP DISCOUNT and just got ( I don't know how many months later) saying I need to send in the PRQ? form. The form you use when you buy a can or gun. So I can keep it on track so to speak.

    The whole process is an ass whooping, but that form 1, DAMN!!!
