My cgs rep confirmed this. Noveske is making MDs as well. CAT has made the dimensions open source. I don't remember the exact details but my rep had said that either the Sci six MD was too long for the odb/wb OR vise versa, but I imagine you could just compare the two and figure it out. I have Sci six stock and can measure the MD, but all my cat cans are hub threads. |

Midwest Precision Shooting has done a bunch of RoF measurements as a proxy for back pressure.

Got the CAT WB 718 out of jail for the day by BlueJay
CAT White Bread 718 HUB Took this silencer out for a little test while it's in jail. It's performance is pretty nutty and it's really in a league of it's own imo. It sounds really good, better than my LPM Torch and waaay better than my Flow 556k. It has low back pressure, not as low as the Torch with the vented cap but it's right there. The WB isn't to long, can use HUB mounts, this is a Deligent Defense Zilch. IT HAS WRENCH FLATS! The WB really just has a very different sound signature than other cans and has like zero FRP. On my tuned 11.5 it was fantastic and on my untuned 16 inch midlength gun it was very good as well. The other shooter was left handed and thought it was totally fine. It's just very good sounding and to throw low back pressure on top of that is rad. Really the only time I think I've heard 5.56 sound better was my Nomad L with a 556 endcap on a PWS upper with an H3 and heavy spring. And that's a waaaaaay larger can. The silencer does weigh more than listed though, it weighs 13.9oz and it's listed at 12.8. There is variance in printed silencer weight but I have 5 other printed cans and between all of them put together they're .2oz heavier than listed. Also the coating on the front of the can is messed up, it's just inconsistent across the endcap. I'll probably rattle can it so it doesn't matter but this is an $1100 silencer with a finish worse than an Anderson AR. Overall it's basically the perfect 5.56 silencer. Sounds good, low back pressure, isn't long as fuck, doesn't weigh very much, no flash. It just really checks all the boxes. |

Quote HistoryWith reviews like this I might have to consider picking up one, but I'm still hesitant from the initial clown fiesta. If I did it would only be the inconel which will probably not restock for half a year. Has CAT every responded with a real answer to why people are measuring their cans at 1-2oz heavier than listed on their website? Variances in printing don't come close to explaining it. Also have seen some photos of the baffles around 800 rounds and they, to me, seem to have quite a bit of erosion for inconel. It's hard to tell though without having a 1:1 unfired and fired one to compare to. |

So has anyone figured out who CAT actually is?
One of their first, if not the first, instagram post said whoever figures out gets a free suppressor. Edit: their 4th post said: "There has been a load of early internet intrigue into who we really are. Who are we? Are we all hype train? The newest marketing program of someone else? Is our shit any good? Are we going to get smashed by the big dogs? Why haven’t you heard about us? We’ve been lively answering questions yesterday but we stand here looking into our newest pressie box and thought - there’s some of the answers right in front for you. Closest to the truth gets a one-off ‘MIL’ coded TSF X hub model when we launch in October to the people. Happy Hunting you good folk."  https://www.instagram.com/p/Cver6Z-McrV/ |

Current members wouldn’t touch it at all under any circumstance, not with a 20ft pole. |

I’m probably going to get called a shill or shadow marketer, but I’m only saying what I’ve seen proof of. CAT was one of the things he and I talked about the least overall during our range trip, but he said he should potentially be getting some of their stuff and he would let me try it out because they have cans I’m interested in. If I get to, I’ll throw my thoughts on their stuff in here. |

Honestly I don't really care who they are, or who they claim to be. I'm only 400 rounds into a WB 718, but so far I'm really digging it. I pay for my cans and no affiliation with them. I have close to 40 NFA items, so I have some experience with many different makes and models over the years. I have the HUB model, but I'm trying out their TSFX adapter on both CGS and CAT muzzle devices. So far not many complaints, but in full disclosure I haven't spent any time in low light with it yet. I'm not saying it is the latest greatest thing, but in my very early humble (not worth anything) opinion it has some good things going for it.

Tone I’m not the guy for that. I have permanent hearing loss and use atleast one form of ear pro when I shoot and sometimes two. Ops Core Amps and sometimes in the ear plugs too. Shooting indoors Sorry I can’t comment on that either. I have a range at my house so too spoiled to travel somewhere to shoot indoors. Gas blowback Haven’t experienced that with the hosts I’ve used. I don’t run adjustable gas blocks, but I also don’t shoot barrels with big gas ports either. I’m fairly sensitive to gas in the face and haven’t noticed it between Hodge and Noveske barrels I’ve used with this can. Other cans… Heard good things about Polo K but don’t have one. I’ve been on a 3D printed kick lately. Sig SLXC, Huxwrx 556k, CGS Sci Six, CGS Helios, Knights QDC-CRS-PRT. I do have some traditional cans like Surefire RC2, AAC M4-2000 and Ranger 5&7, Sig SRD556QD, Dead Air Sierra 5 and Sandman. All of those traditional cans have their share of backpressure for sure. I’m not chasing DBs with my 5.56 platforms, cause I know they will never be quiet. Length, weight, back pressure, and mounting system are higher on my list. The CAT WB checks those boxes pretty well for my needs, but again I’ve only got just over 400 rounds on it, so still way early to say how I will feel in 5-10,000 rounds. |

Picked up my CAT ODB Ti Monday. After a Feb sub date. Only have one other can (Ruger Mark II with Soundtech APR integral) so limited firsthand experience other than friends cans. Direct threaded it onto a BA 10.3” Hanson barreled upper with a Aero lower. 2 stamp gun. Gun would not lock back on empty mag unsuppressed, same suppressed. Indicates not much change in b/p to me. Ejects about 4 o’clock but wont strip next round. Trying lighter buffer tomorrow. I will say it’s quieter than I expected with SS rounds. Totally hearing safe. Mrs was like WOW, and she has bat ears. With supers and my range which is fairly “free” it seems totally hearing safe. I am kinda deaf though. Any help appreciated. Gun may need more break in. Maybe 200 rounds so far.

Agreed, decent indicator of relative b/p. What buffer and spring were you using? Hansons tend to be gassed pretty conservatively, in my experience with 2 different 5.56 lengths and an 8.3" BO, which the market was asking for from the more affordable barrels. What ammo? I would also start with the buffer, and possibly spring if you're running something fancy. Thanks for the report. |

Nothing fancy! H2 carbine buffer and spring combo from PWS IIRC. Tried a lot of flavors of subsonic all ejected ok ( except Hornady 190, they seemed really low power). Tried Hornady black 208, Remington 220, AAC 220, S&B, +++, none would lock mag back. Supers ran perfect. Seems under-gassed. Bought an adjustable weight buffer and will see what happens. I guess next step is low mass BCG if that doesn’t work or am I going wrong direction? Thanks for help!
Zero gas to face compared to my friends 14.5” AR15 with an RC2. Different animal I know but way different experience. If this thing will run like my other rifles it’ll be tits. |

The vague nature of the company behide the silencer is lame, but their stuff is top shelf. I've got like 15 Silencers I could use on 5.56 and even if the WB was 2 inches longer it'd still be the best performance to size ratio silencer that I've ever heard, it's really that good. Good to know, thanks. |

Just got my eForm 4 approved on one this morning. Probably won't get to pick it up until Saturday but with feedback like this I'm psyched. Don't be like me, though... I originally had a backorder for one on SS and got impatient. Bought a Polo-K at Capitol Armory and cancelled my backorder. Then a WB 718 popped up local to me and I couldn't resist... now both will be in hand this week and I feel silly dropping nearly $800 on the Polo-K but there's no turning back now. I'm sure I'll find a use for it but it's $800 I shouldn't have spent on something I didn't really need! |

You can shoot your Polonium while you are saving up for the $140 CAT White Bread Cleaner. |

I believe it comes with some of that cleaner? I only shoot like 1k rounds a year so I'm not too worried about the cleaning schedule... |

Ah, I guess it was the cleaning container that I saw. Oh well. I did read from some big name that they compared different cleaning solutions and the CAT one worked best, for whatever that's worth. In light of the 1k that much ammo will cost it's not a big deal. Edit: it's actually ridiculous but I'm coping lol
