Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CiggyTardust:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsCLnhutbxcGot to shoot the Inconel CAT WB over the weekend on a PWS MK111. First impressions: Doubled up on earpro in a very overcrowded indoor range it sounded a bit better than my Polo K for sure. Not as big a difference as I expected, but it was noticeable. Polo-K on a 14.5 I'd rank 80 if WB on an 11.8 were 100. Granted it was very loud that day at the range, obnoxiously so. But where I was truly astounded was the back pressure and complete lack of gas... that was astounding. Coming from mainly a Turbo-K, the lack of gas to face indoors was magical. PWS uppers have 3 gas settings: 1 - unsuppressed, 2 - mixed, 3 - suppressed. With a Turbo-K I'd always run setting 3 (with H3 buffer and Sprinco blue) and still get gassed out after a string of shots but with the WB I mostly had to run setting 2 as though it were unsuppressed. Setting 3 wouldn't work (not enough gas) until I switched to an A5 setup (BCM T2), after which setting 3 worked much better although I had one failure to feed which suggests there wasn't quite enough gas. I will say it was probably the softest, most pleasant-shooting setup I've ever shot though. Not sure if switching to a lighter buffer (BCM T1) will help me run on setting 3 but for duty/defensive use I'll likely crank up the gas to setting 2. Overall it was amazingly pleasant to shoot and really does seem to render other cans obsolete when weighing its performance and lack of gas. |

Well, after my screwing by Silencer shop, I ended up ordering two alleycat's in 5.56. One 718, and one titanium. That will cover both my main rifles, and I'll get to see how a Ti can holds up. Still considering switching my SS order to a Cobalt Kinetics Scrambler.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By eagarminuteman: A lot of what we discussed was who is involved and his experiences with them. I can tell yall, there’s some impressive resumes working with them and that they aren’t BSing when they say there are military units out there using their IP. 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. There’s nothing NDA about CAT. The owner of CGS has had open discussions and has made is clear he doesn’t care who knows what because they wouldn’t be able replicate their ideas. I’ve even been told the manufacturer of CGS/CAT. The DMLS OEM. Short story is there’s a big European Presence with “Specter Cat” in law enforcement and military units overseas. CAT is basically them bringing those designs to the US market (with very interesting marketing). Alley Cat is the same design with thicker walls in some areas and is marketed more for LE/MIL. There’s more detail in there but it’s not that important or secretive. I’ll keep the OEM unnamed. I will say it’s a company that does not work with the firearms industry outside CGS/CAT and they are European based. |

In a situation like this secrets are likely being kept because either they are full of shit about their pedigree or knowing CAT's real identity would cause the consumer base to leave (or both). For me, personally, I like to know whose pocket book I'm lining. For all we know 'European' is more 'East European' and these are some 3rd party Russian company designed cans. |

So besides slightly better durability, are the Alley Cat versions higher sound performing than the regular CAT cans? Theoretically a bit better but nothing you're going to notice I suspect. I have a WB 718 and opted for that because HUB is the only way to go for me as I'm running Rearden on everything. Proprietary mounts (as found on the Alleycat) are not something that interest me at all. |

Both of our rattlers are very low round counts, so they're still fresh. But we have issues with some factory subs cycling on regular mode. We have to switch to adverse to get 100% reliability |

I agree it's a shame CA isn't carrying them anymore. I would much prefer to have it sent directly to my home even aside from issues I've been hearing about with SS. from what I've seen CAT didn't seem to be mad about the decision (at least, not in a public way- also, I have not looked around for specific drama surrounding their departure so here may be more I'm unaware of). Thankfully I have some pretty solid LGSs around me so I'll probably just ask what their preferences are for efiling.

I did go back to the first thread from almost a year ago and saw "NaughtyKitty" was indeed here explaining who they were. When you mentioned CAT chasing clout, I took that to mean the company is actively/continuously doing things at present somewhere here to try and win favor. They might be really good… dunno. Because very little of their product even exists outside of youtube, and the 2 people in however many pages this is that actually have used their products. Probably. It's hard to know how much of their product exists. There are several user reviews posted outside of YouTube, I've posted a couple of the more comparitive examples as I've seen them.

Little personal WB 718 info:
It's been about a week and a half or so since I tossed a 718 WB on a 11.5 spear. I needed something cool for a suppressor event my shop and I were hosting. I have no idea when our SLX 556 is showing up and I had a couple of WBs hanging around so it seemed like an easy decision. It's done very well thus far. It survived the event and it's done well living it's life as a rental before and after the event. I think I'll give it a month or two and then take the can off and look at cleaning it. |

I just picked up my cat cans - 718 ODB, SR, Mob, and JL.
I’ve only had one 2 hour range day with them, but after shooting a couple hundred through the ODB on my 12.5 ar (77gr and 55 gr), I won’t be grabbing my polonium or enticer s again for use on any gas gun. Worked great on 300 bo as well - both subs and supers (spear lt). Overall and as a general first impression, I’m very impressed with all of them. For anyone potentially interested but skeptical of other first hand accounts, pew science testing/data, or their suppressors in general, try to find a way to shoot them (hopefully that gets easier as more of them get in people’s hands). |

Patiently waiting for a Dirty Dave. Probably my best bet since I can only afford 1 more can right now. Seems like it would work well on my Scar 17, short and long 556 ARs alike!

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Dr_Nimslow: The form 4's for my two Alley Cat's were approved today, hopefully I can find some time to go shoot next week. Congrats! Which alley cats did you pick up? I'd love some feedback on their AC 556 can if you grabbed it. Also, if you got ti - not a bad idea to run water through them, shake, drain, and follow it up with compressed air. I did that a few times for my ti cat cans as I didn't want any leftover print material making its way into my action/firearm. Most likely not necessary but worked well for me. To dry them (also not necessary as they'll naturally dry), I simply threw them in my FA brass dryer for a couple hours on 160. |

Has anyone seen any temperature testing to show how many rounds the Inconel CAT cans take to hit their temperature threshold? The only tests I have seen have been for the titanium versions.

Interesting that the Ti on the kitchen scale comes in almost two ounces under the listed weight. I'm getting 7.1oz, that's closer to WB weight, than AC. But it's marked Alley Cat. |

Awesome - can't wait for you to shoot them and report back. I noticed the same with weight - my ti cat cans were slightly lighter than originally listed; however, my 718 ODB was 1.2 oz heavier than the published weight.
The thought of their full size AC 556 ti can being that light makes me want one. I'd jump if they had a hub version. |
