556 can modification project

I couldn't remember if I told you or not but try contacting Tim at Two Rivers Arms. The dude's a wizard with metal. I've been able to paw over a couple of DEWAT rewelds that he has done.


I still think you should just do more curls.

I still think you should just do more curls.

Or douche more often, maybe. Cut that can and I will poke you in the eyeball.

Yeah, you both have a point, which addresses one of the goals, mostly. What do you have for the other?
Wait; thats right, one of you uses a Surefire mini and the other doesnt use one at all.

If i wanted to pay the cash and wait, then an AAC mini4 would already be out there with my name on it. More than likely its the route i will take at some point, but for now...

I am as short on the barrel length as i am willing to go.

Reduction of the overall length, reduction of weight at the end of the barrel. doing both of those things cheaper than buying into a new system with a mini can. Originally, the suppressor was used to get maximum suppression with the short barrel. As I have used the system in situations from vehicles to shoot houses to open fields i have come to the conclusion that i would be better served with a can that will eliminate the the concussion from a short barrel for those around me but not necessarily be any quieter than necessary to accomplish that. I am looking for a system that meets that goal and is shorter than the current setup. In other words, i am willing to trade a few db's for a couple of inches because it serves me better.

I know it will compromise some of the sound suppressing quality. You two know me from osa well enough to realize i wouldn't step into this lightly, or without some pretty serious forethought. If this solution does not look like it will meet my goals then i will look at others. If i didnt have a "need" to reduce the length of the system on the barrel side of the equation then i wouldnt be asking for feedback. I appreciate the answers and questions so far.

UMB, this has been an interesting read, but I don't think you are supposed to shoot houses, from a vehicle or not.

UMB have you considered building a supressor on a form 1? Didnt see it mentioned above. Thought i would just throw it out there. I recently seen a youtube video of a gentleman that sells just about everything you need to make a supressor out of a mag light. He sells it as a cleaning kit to catch oil from your barrel when cleaning. It comes with 6 baffels and thread adapter of your choice of thread pitch.

Ha, damn those commas. That was the part I went back and edited to add the vehicle reference as well. What can I say, OU English department FTW.

Yeah, I considered that briefly. In order to do it the way I want it would end up costing me as much as just switching to the AAC system. I dont have anything against making the switch except the God awful wait times and; to a lesser extent, the expense. Plust I love tinkering around with what I have on hand to make stuff work. So far the YHM suppressor system has been bullet proof. Im not a "huge" fan of the the QD system. but it hasnt let me down yet. The suppressor itself is heavy, but sounds great and wear to the baffles is minimal after 5000+ rounds.
Like I said earlier, I have no doubt that at some point I will just bite the bullet and get into another setup, but I have been toying with this idea for a while and wanted some more feedback before trying it out. Thanks for the comment.

Just sayin'

 

[uncle money bags]

Does that apply only to items ordered through aac or does it include dealers?

Never mind, just figured it out.

Suppressors from anywhere get you qualified for the credit but the $200 credit can only be redeemed on AAC's site.
