    Roger that -- the best way to get a concentric suppressor alignment is to EDM cut after the welding of the baffles takes place.

    Which makes it impossible to replace the internals.

    Interesting, kindof a catch 22.

    I get what you mean though. I think. Are you saying that after welding the baffles they essentially re-run some kind of tool down the bore again to make sure that everything is alligned?

    They use a wire EDM machine. The wire "cuts" the bore of the silencer. The wire is electrically charged and actually removes material like arc welding in reverse.

    Keep'em coming gang..thanks!!

    In regards to the quick attach?? I was looking at the aac site and am a little confused and the accessories link is out?? Anyway, I'm assuming all the uppers will come threaded 1/2x28 with a flah hider attached. It appears the m4's come with the fast attach....Is putting the bbl adaptor a do it yourself job??

    Just remove the installed flash hider & I assume the bbl has an attachement of sorts that mates with the can??

    I was going to recommend a Denny's Operator 12.5 as well.

    What parts generally suffer damage from a short bbl?

    Is it the first baffle?

    If so, (and I fully accept that in every other way a Gemtech is inferior to an AAC), wouldnt the "non-welded" aspect of the gemtech facilitate warranty repair after it is "damaged".

    Don
    p.s. I'm not pushing Gemtech. Its just what I'm familiar with. My point, removing any brand affiliation, is essentially that although a non-welded can is probably inferior to a welded can as far as ultimate durability, a welded can is more deifficult to repair without destroying the outer tube.

    If thats true, and considering that all the mfgs provide a pretty much no questions asked warranty, wouldnt a non welded can give the average civilian better service.

    I fully understand that in a military or even "your life depends on emptying 10 mags" SHTF scenario, a welded can will last longer. In that situation, you will just throw your destroyed can away, so the ultimate reliability of the welded can is a benefit.

    But for us mere mortals, I think the ability to pack it up and ship it back for a free rebuild might be a plus.

    Educate me. Please spare the sarcasm. If I'm off, then give me a logical reason why. This is as much a question as a statement.

    Mm. I don't think so. But I'm not going to open that can of worms here.
