If they engraved circumferentially near the base rather than axially along the length of the suppressor tube, it would be almost unimaginable to damage the SN. Even if the manufacturer went out of business, could someone like ECCO just cutoff the baffle stack and weld on a tubeless baffle stack if you somehow damaged your 3D printed can (assuming the SN were undamaged)? View Quote I had a Rex can get a baffle strike on my m11. Rex cut off the stack from the serialized portions and welded on a new stack. The EA ring is a great idea as well. I’d be fine with something like that on a 3D printed can. |

I was more familiar with understanding people bleed out really fast. When you're using tourniquets speed is really important. The cat tourniquet (ironic name in this thread) was designed to be fast and even it isn't super speedy when arteries are bleeding and people are understandably stressed out and afraid. The cat was a massive improvement on sticks and cravats used in Vietnam.

Either way, I bet Ecco could hack off the front of a Hux and weld on a new tube with baffles today. View Quote It's case by case, but we tend to shy away from 3D printed can alterations and repairs, especially those that would require welding. 3D printed/DMLS parts are structurally pretty much the same as cast or MIM, and that often means some voids, cracks or inclusions that you do not find in forged or billet parts. When you start welding on these things, it can get real interesting, and not in a good way. Trapped air, moisture, chemicals, binder will cause the welds to blow out, and the heat can cause cracks to form/grow. Cracking during weldment can happen with a number of alloys, forcing the use of fillers, preheating, controlled cooling, etc. Inconel is one of them (always fun when we have to put a dirty fractured AAC core back together). But with cast, MIM or 3D printed stuff, alloys that normally do not have those considerations suddenly do. There's also the way they're built that often complicates things. The "advantages" of being able to print features and geometry that cannot be machined often results in exterior designs having a "negative" on the inside, so with something like flutes that would be cut in a tube or billet blast chamber which is still round on the inside, 3D printed ones sometimes have the inside fluted as well, which can leave us with something that we can't thread and really can't weld properly either. Plus carbon and copper deposits in the rough texture that can't be easily cleaned out and require further material removal. I won't say that we can't or don't do work on 3D printed cans, but we go into it with great skepticism and err on the side of caution. |

The whole free stamp thing is a gimmick.
We are all adults here. I know I’m paying for the stamp in the purchase price. It’s not like the company or store front is taking $200 out of their own pocket to pay the stamp for me. This stunt isn’t regulated to this company alone. |

I haven't been able to find anything beyond Wain Research at this point other than a connection to Allied Operations Group, which again, I can't find anything about. The name is so generic that it makes searching it difficult. I too believe they started their marketing campaign too early. Leaving almost 2 months after hyping it up, people will forget about it or get tired of hearing about it by the Oct 2 release. If it turns out that they are not associated with a defense contractor at all, I'm sure they'll just say it was all a joke (and so truth did not matter). |

I hadn’t considered the void-heavy nature of 3DP. That said, I have to believe that the printers are running in an inert-gas environment (or else their original welds would be shit) so, if the voids were created in an inert atmosphere, and you welded to them in a good gas flow, I’d think it would be like welding really rough, but really clean, metal.

With the Pewscience data dropping this morning, this absolutely seems like the 30cal can to beat at the moment. I know the marketing turned a lot of people off but the performance seems to be extremely impressive. I would put this a notch above the Flow 762 because it’s available in inconel and comes with hub mount threads. If this company can maintain excellent QC and keep up with the demand, I think they have a serious hit on their hands.
Going back and reading this thread is honestly pretty hilarious in hindsight. The fact that CGS was willing to put their neck on the line for this company should have been a clue that this was legit. |

If you think Jay’s data is shit, then develop your own testing standard. I don’t see anyone else attempting it except for the companies themselves and honestly, that seems way way less trustworthy to me. Companies never ever publish bullshit, internally generated data to sell something to consumers who don’t know any better. The Huxwrx cans are very quiet when you understand what they were designed to accomplish. Everyone I know who owns one of their new DMLS cans is very happy with it. The Flow 556K was designed to have very little back pressure with a short length and excellent suppression at the shooters ear and that comes at the expense of industry leading suppression at the muzzle. It’s unreasonable to expect that a high flow K can will be as quiet as a long, low flow can like an OCL Polonium or a Maxim DSX. The SCI-SIX is a good can by the way. I thought it performed a little better than the SOCOM RC-2 I compared it to. This was purely subjective of course. They were close but I liked the tone of the SCI more. |
