    It all has to go back when I'm done. Well, all but the ammo. Not really a way to go dig that out of the berm...

    Either way you still get some cool bragging rights.

    ...
    Couldn't you simply offer a shorter, lighter, 51 tooth 762-SD with the re-designed baffles made of a mix of inconel/stailess, and offer it at the lower price of the current 762-SD?

    Just asking, and thanks for what you guys do.
    Please, ask away, glad to answer if i can.

    The sound difference is completely due to the internal design, not materials. The materials simply up it's durability.

    A 762-SD built like an "N-6", but stainless, would still cost more than the current 762-SD... extra baffle, spacer, more welding and modified baffles.

    Fair enough & thanks for the explanation!

    I am pleased with your company's products (18T 762-SD owner) and I would recommend them to others. My can does not "back off a tooth or two" and does not loosen up at all. In addition to 5.56 duty, I will probably have a 26" tube for 300 Win Mag threaded for a AAC brake & use it on that too.

    Like others, I will bring up minor constructive observations; I would like to buy a Blackout threaded left hand for 30 cal AKs but that does not seem to be offered.

    Also, I'd like less/no "front toward enemy" marking, and maybe more Rachel on the site. OTOH, I am sure you have customers who don't appreciate the lifestyle & want LESS Rachel and MORE "front toward enemy" type stuff. There is no pleasing everyone all the time.

    Ha, thanks- I welcome comments, criticism, compliments, thoughts, observations, whatever.

    "pleasing" everyone is the impossible task for sure, but we do try.

    As for the particular thread- we are constantly expanding thread pitch offerings (I know it is never fast enough)... 30 cal LH- what is the thread pitch?

    Rob, now that you spent some quality time with the can, what are you willing to share??

    I'm obviously not Rob, with that in mind.

    I've had one since before Military Times released the information about the caliber and upper. To say that I was skeptical about claims of begin more quiet than a MP5 would be an understatement, but I've got to say that I'm impressed.

    Board policy mandates I state that I shoot for BCM. I have also done work for 200 or so manufacturers within the firearm community. I am prior service, a full time LEO, firearm instructor, armorer, TL, martial arts instructor, and all around good guy.

    I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...
