    AAC is back!

    AAC is back! But what does that mean?

    They posted on instragram they were back and going to start producing some lame hunting suppressor again first.

    Who owns them?

    Will they fix old product? Honor warranty?

    Make old legacy items likeSDN-6 again?

    What do you know?

    I know when they were in business they almost never had most of their products in stock, were forever back ordered and mostly known for exaggerating their db levels by recording them in the most favorable conditions.

    I waited two years trying to get a couple suppressors for myself and almost three years for a suppressor a customer wanted, never ever got them and canceled the orders. Seemed like they had some decent ideas in the beginning and probably good suppressors, but I was never able to find out.

    I know that the 4 AAC cans I have (two Mini4s, SDN-6, TI-RANT 45M) were in stock every time I went to Silencer Shop to get one.

    They work great and my Mini4s have virtually no POI shift when added to my rifles. The Mini4 is my go to for my 12.5 SBRs. Great combo. When AAC gets back up and going I plan to get two more.

    Their warranty service was top notch and super fast turn around times. Best turnaround time was 13 days and longest was 26. I would send them in to get the ratchet spring replaced and they would clean it and recoat it also.

    Last time I sent something in to them was in January of 2020 and even with all of the stuff going on with Freedom Group they got my can back to me in 26 days.

    I would like to see a 7.62 Mini can. That would be great.
    In no way do I make any money from anyone related to the firearms industry.

    YES! AAC was a f#$King joke. But they were the only alternative to Gemtech's garbage. I hated their guts. Always Effing off an dicking around on the internet instead of building customers' cans. I was a wait victim too.

    (My stamp came back before my can showed up... that's how retarded they were.)

    So I have a SDN-6 with Ecco mod
    Tirant 45m and 9m. These were always in stock when I purchased.

    Other than the 51t mount I like their products. I think the SDN-6 is quieter than the Q trash panda I have.

    I’m interested in what new ownership will bring. Under original ownership they made some good product but with all of the owners famous antics. Remington put nothing into them and probably made the product lower quality.

    I’m interested to see if they bring some old cans back and if they will do warranty work on old cans.

    I had one of my Mini4s and my SDN6 converted to a KeyMo adapter by them. Great work. I can't say enough good things about Ecco.

    I still like the 51T mounts but needed the ratchet fixed last year.

    PSA (parent company that I can't remember) gained all of the patents and the intellectual right from AAC. So they can produce all of the AAC items.
