I've got a bunch of old AAC cans I had HUB converted and two different Saker's... so I'm not new to cans. These are all long and heavy high backpressure suppressors with QD mount adapters (keymo)

Looking for a couple lightweight (Ti preferably) low backpressure cans that are direct thread, prefer HUB with a direct thread adapter.
I'd like one for my 6 ARC G$ 18" Stratomatch rifle and one for a lightweight 5.56 10" SBR.

What's the latest hotness boys?

Fox Creek Arms

Probably haven't heard that brand before, but previously he was JR Machine Pro with excellent KAC clone form 1 kits.

Hub with direct thread, titanium, lots of options.

I have one, excellent tone and not high backpressure

SAW Tisha is getting recommended a lot. I'm thinking about trying one of those along with one of the Griffin HRT cans.

Rhodie 6Ti for the 6 ARC is definitely the latest hotnesss. I wouldn’t really recommend a Ti can for an SBR.

Griffin Armament HRT-5K
Ridgeback Defense Rhodie 6K
Stealth Additive Works Tisha
Huxwrx Flow 556K

Are the 4 I'm looking at right now, kind of in that order.

Griffin HRT
CAT Johnny Law Ti or what ever the 6arc can is called
OCL Hydrogen 6.5 or L

All should work.
I don’t like making plans for the day. Because then the word "premeditated" gets thrown around in the courtroom.

On my 12.5" 6ARC so far I have tried the Echocore Sector 556 that is rated for 6ARC. I'll be trying the Huxwrx Ventum 762 on it soon. Ultimately I'll put a Surefire SOCOM6 Mini4 on it once the paperwork clears.

I'm waiting on a 22" MK12 that will wear the OCL OCM6.

Brand new just released Griffin Optimus 6 AM is the latest 6ARC hotness. Just so happens to kick ass for 556 as well.

Hrt 5k is wicked. Bought it and a polo k at the same time. Should have just got two of the hrt cans. Cheaper than my fancy B&t suppressors, smaller, sound better, and less gas to the face.

Any head to head comparisons of the HRT 5(k) AM against the Rhodies as to gas and suppression?

I’d skip the Hux 556K.  Low backpressure, but sound isn’t great.  The other cans listed are going to be a lot better on sound and almost as low on backpressure.

Sound alone, how would you compare the HRT 5k to the Polo k

Doesn't mean that much to me to mean that much to you.

I have been very happy with my CRS3 KAC suppressor. Objectively, the backpressure is much reduced, with FA fire rate being within 1.6% that of unsuppressed, the weight is a bit heavier but worth it for what you get, IMO (excellent QD, excellent performance). Mine weighs 15.9oz. The 3P mount is 2.3oz.

It absolutely smothers flash, showing less signature than a 3 prong KAC FH under NVG looking toward the muzzle, with no real meaningful FRF.

On my KS3, zero shift from suppressed to unsuppressed at 100 yards is about 0.3mrad. This is with a lightweight CHF CL barrel. I have 2 KS3's and matching CRS3's and the shift is similar between the two, and varies more between ammunition type than anything, as browntip shows a shift of 0.3mrad, while LE556T4 shows minimal to no shift.

Sound wise, it does very well, with Silencer Summit showing it to have a sound signature at the MIL 1m standard location averaged L/R, of 138.8dB, as compared to the RC2 at 137.8dB and the AAC M4-2000 18T at 137.5dB, on a 16" carbine. The Flow 556Ti had a signature of 140.1 dB, and the HRT5K, 140.7dB. The Polonium K registered 142.6dB.  It is in perfectly good company for sound attenuation.

Being fully honest, I haven’t even shot the polo yet. It will get used somewhere but I like everything about the hrt more.

Just cause
