Good vid @thaHooligan. I have a TC compass in 223. I put the Cabelas 223 scope on it that has reticle hashes out to 750 yds. I have it zeroed with no can on it(AAC cyclone 30cal) With the can on, it’s dead on at the 250 hash. After that I don’t need to change hash marks until somewhere in the 400 yard range

After a year long wait, I finally have my suppressor in my hands. It's the Yankee Hill Machine Nitro .30. I took it out today to test the point of impact shift and speeds with vs without. No real change in speeds, but a pretty good poi change.


Great video. I like yours. You get to the point without a lot of yak-yak I see in others. :clap3:
I only have one can which is the Silencerco Harvester in .30 cal.
I use it between several rifles. Most do lose an inch or so in elevation when using the can and I attribute it to barrel droop with the added weight which may or may not be the actual issue. Just my speculation.

@thaHooligan thats a crazy amount of POA to POI impact. I’m guessing you were shooting at 100 yards or so? I’ve seen and heard of up to 3-4” of deviations from unsuppressed to suppressed, but 6” is a huge shift. Do you know if your muzzle cut may not be quite concentric enough or maybe if there’s something going on with the can/mount/threads?

Thanks dennis, Its been a year now, but I'm pretty sure when I was looking at the silencers in the gun store, I had my choices narrowed down between the Nitro 30 and the Harvester. If I remember correctly the Harvester was lighter, which I really liked, but I think it was also an inch or two longer, which is why I ended up going with the Nitro 30.

Yea 100 yards. Nothing visibly noticeable on the muzzle or the threads. I'm very new to suppressors, so I don't know if that 6" difference is due to something being out of whack or if it's just normal, but now you got me wondering! lol

@thaHooligan, I’ve not tried my 30cal can on the x39 AR. I wasn’t sure if there was enough clearance to prevent baffle strikes. I need to do some research on that. Does anyone have experience with the AAC and x39? I know we’re only talking about few thousandths but some of these things have some pretty tight tolerances.
