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. |

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.

View Quote 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. |

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

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 |

It’s definitely got a sleeve over the baffles, might be some flow-through type stuff going on in it. |

View Quote 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.

I've put it on a sam 7k, and that made for a much handier package. |

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. |
