Seeing a high round Noveske KX3 cut open looked just like that picture above. I am gonna weigh my cans after a while, and maybe do the dip if they gain a lot of mass. Gonna be a while to get 10k rounds through the Trek though. |

What did you take it with? Thanks! Oddly enough, that was taken with my phone. It's a Samsung Galaxy, either a 5 or a 6 I think. I set it on 16 MP and took my time getting a good one with good focus. All subsequent pics will be that good hopefully. |

I doubt they ever shot rimfire through it. |

There are suppressor manufacturers who say that centrefire calibre suppressors do not accumulate any buildup and then there are companies who say they do.
We fall in the latter category. However there are of course variables that effect on the weight buildup and flash / sound suppression performance - Suppressor design - Calibre - Powder used - Barrel length - How many rounds per month / year for example - Rate of fire ( ie. bolt action vs a semi / select fire weapon ) So should someone be cleaning their centrefire calibre suppressor?, it really depends on the answers to the above points.

since this can is user serviceable I plan to update the thread from time to time but I'm not keeping accurate round count, just approximation since this one will be moved between several different rifles. Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

How does the Alpha compare to your Recce 5? My understanding is the 22 endcap makes the Alpha a Recce 5 |

I remember Rob Silvers saying that M4-2000s fill up similarly between 30,000 and 50,000 rounds on 10.5” rifles. I imagine it’s as much a consequence of hard use on short barrels as baffle surface area.
