Just picked it up, can't wait to shoot it, but it's going to be Friday before I can get to the range.

This thing is really light, and I'm impressed with the mount, it's very solid.

34 days mailbox to mailbox for the form 4.


Comes with a nice pouch, cleaning brush and manual.




Just shy of 6" OAL.  Only adds 4" to the length of the gun.




On my LWRC 10.5" SBR.

Me likey!

Any way you could post a close-up of the attachment?  Like maybe a close up of your muzzle without the can, and partially connected?

Thanks for the pics.  I have one in 6.8 on the way.  Your pictures will help tide me over

Hope these help.

This is the standard Flash Hider mount.


There is a lug inside the suppressor, that indexes in this notch, on the bottom of the mount.


You silde the can on, twist untill the lug drops into the mount.


And then tighten the locking ring about 3/4 turn.


The locking lever is between my fingers in the last pic.  there are fine teeth cut into the top of the mount.  the end of the lever ratchets into these teeth, locking the ring in place.

To remove, you grab the ring, pressing the lever with your thumb, twist counter clockwise 3/4 turn, and pull it off.

Fixed it for you...

those are nice cans. i was able to shoot both the short and the standard cans and they did a great job. wish i could get the cash to buy one.

that is a nice looking setup.  thanks for the pics.  when is the range report coming??

looking good. that thing is tiny. here's a few pics of my full size for comparison.




can, mount, ammo, team coin.



mount by itself



can partially mounted




can on all the way.

eta pic of rifle:



the first pics were on a 16", the can is usually on this 12.5" upper.


the operation is similar to your shorty, with the exception of the larger mount and the locking ring turns a bit more.

How much exposed barrel do you need when using the full size mount? I assume 11.5" is the shortest correct?

Quoted: How much exposed barrel do you need when using the full size mount? I assume 11.5" is the shortest correct?

the 11.5 will work if you use a short gas block. 12" is the bare minimum for a standard FSB, 12.5 recommended.

Will it work on a 17"?

Staying tuned

Zack3g,

i didn't see any noticeable POI shift, people like 1928A1 will call me a liar, though. Your mileage may vary.

I won't call you a liar.  Good for you if you have no POI shift.

Zack...who did the the "cutting" of your barrel to 12.5" Thinking of doing the same thing.

What he said...

I finally got out for some range time today.  Shot the FA556K on two rifles.  LWRC 10.5" SRT gas piston upper/SBR, and a Colt 6920 14.5" w/perm attached flash hider mount.

Forgot the camera, so no pics.  But here is what I learned today.

-Suppresson.  The 10.5" still rings my ears.  It's not really uncomfortable, but it's still loud.  I wouldnt want to shoot this much without hearing protection.

14.5" was better, didnt ring my ears, but the crack is still pretty loud.  

About on par with the other 5.56 rifle cans I've heard

-reliability.  Both guns ran 100%.  The LWRC did blow two primers (Black Hills MK262).

-Accuracy/POI shift.  Both guns did group slightly better suppressed.  The 14.5" did the best.  I'm still looking for a load that the LWRC really likes.  I've never been able to get better than 2.5-3" groupa at 50 yards, off the bench with this gun.

The 10.5" did exhibit some POI shift.  It shot about 1.5" higher with the can on.

The 14.5" did not show any noticable POI shift between un-suppressed and suppressed.

-Gas blowback/fowling.  The 10.5 LWRC did not seem to have any blowback at all.  I ran a quick 30 rounds thru it, and my eyes didnt water.

The 14.5 DI did show some bowback, but not much.  The only time I noticed it was about 20 rounds into a 30 round magazine, rapid fire.  My eyes did start to water some.

I was wearing UVEX shooting/safety glasses for both.  No unburnt powder in my teeth, or anything like that with either gun.

The piston gun is much cleaner inside, than the DI gun.  Much, much cleaner.

No problems getting the can on, or off.  While it was still warm, it was easy to remove.

Overall, I'm happy with it.  I may look into an Ops can in .308 for my SR-25 now.
