I just never understood why AK suppressors have to be so heavy.
Why can't anyone make a suppressor for an AK that's 12ish oz like a Turbo T3 or a Griffin Explorr 300. 20 oz suppressors are so last decade. |

I guess the marketing is strong, and people think you can't use western models on the average AK |

Ooooof
This guy had his can blow up twice. Once at 90 rounds which they repaired quickly, and then again when he tested it after getting it back, at 160 rounds Skip to 5:58, he actually got the second blow up on camera. He gives them a lot of praise for customer service (and I don't know anything about them) but twice kinda makes me not interested  Resilient Suppressors PUTNIK - Arsenal SLR104UR Review |

Still, on a short gun it’s really not bad. |

I wonder if his was one of the early ones with the poor welds they recalled. I’ll keep running mine hard for the full review. |

I was interested in one until I seen the video of him damaging 2 of them. So I ordered a Wolverine this weekend for my WPB mini jack. Not much lighter than the Putnik but I don't see a lot of videos of Wolverines busting welds.

The Wolverine is between an ounce lighter to a few ounces heavier depending on the mount, from the specs I’m seeing. I’ve got a buddy with the Wolverine so hopefully I can test them together. |

That's the only reason she thicc. |

The recoil mitigation is crazy. Makes it shoot like a well tuned .300blk AR.

Seriously, I bet that much weight on the end of the barrel does a lot to counter muzzle rise. I weighed my thread adapter, muzzle device, and MG7K and the weight is about the same as the Putnik—and the MG7k exhibits notably more recoil. |

It does appear the Putnik has brake like features at the end. DA and Sico also have that functionality (Brake end caps) for some of their cans. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By dmk0210: Interesting about the weight of the MG7. You could get that a bit lighter with a JMac X37 instead of a muzzle device and adapter. It does appear the Putnik has brake like features at the end. DA and Sico also have that functionality (Brake end caps) for some of their cans. Yeah, reminds me of the the KGM cans. I ran the Ebrake on my MG7K (modified by Ecco machine to run DA end caps) and it still wasn’t as effective as the Putnik |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By dmk0210: Cool mod! I wonder what Resilient's secret sauce is?  The King of Silence, Improved: Rex MG7K Mod Ecco It really is a slick setup now. But back on topic, my guess is the huge amount of displacement in the Putnik may have something to do with it. It’s definitely got a sleeve over the baffles, might be some flow-through type stuff going on in it. |

I have a Putnik, I've only been able to shoot a mag through it on a PSA 103. I'm hoping to get to try it out maybe this weekend on a couple rifles. Seemed to have minimal blow back as a shooter, but it is a chunk on the end of a barrel. I did notice some blow by residue on the rear seam of the can, which I'll keep an eye on during the next range session. |

I’m hoping to borrow one of my buddy’s 16” AKs with 24x1.5 threads so I can run the Putnik on a longer barrel. It’s not bad on a shorty but I could see it being a bit of an anchor further out.

The weight has a lot of leverage working against you. When you swing the rifle from one target to another, it's harder to stop the momentum of that weight. On a shorter barrel, the weight has less leverage to work against you. |
