Couldn't resist and I bought one from Tombstone Tactical. Should arrive tomorrow. I am going to try out the Shockwave before I make the decision to SBR.

Is this OK or what's the deal here? https://i.imgur.com/27Tttju.jpg I have the adapter for my octane. You would think they would have made an insert for the tab. My can started backing off after a mag. I decided to rethreading the barrel to 1/2 x 28 so I can use my QD yhm wraith XL can. I don't have to worry about it backing off. |

I just have used the same specs as Gemtech told me on my direct thread suppressors and adapters. And am sure my AAC are the same. I am not sure that it was worth yelling at me in blue  .

I'm buying the same adapter to use on an Omega 9k (when I can find one). My plan is to cut a small notch in the adapter so the tab will retain it. Why remove something rather than using it for its intended purpose?

Not enough information to say what the problem was because it was only 1 person's comment about their mount. Could've been the mount, the suppressor adapter, the poster who installed it etc. I've never run a 3 lug, which is why I ask the question. I wasn't sure how common a problem this is in 3 lug adapters. |

Could be any number of things. One of the issues with 3 lug setups is possible tolerance stacking issues. You have the factory threads on the gun, the 3 lug adapter, the 3 lug mount, and the can itself to contend with.
ETA- I have the TROS 3 lug adapter and it works fine. I also bought the manticore one but have not had a reason to change them out. |

I am doing my research but at this point I am planning on doing a direct thread Form 1 and I will set the can up for 18x1. Figure if I don't like it I can send barrel off to be rethreaded or get an 3 lug adapter and use one of my other pistol cans.

I'm buying the same adapter to use on an Omega 9k (when I can find one). My plan is to cut a small notch in the adapter so the tab will retain it. Why remove something rather than using it for its intended purpose? Here you go! Ordered one last week, it was $731.60 without the piston when you send a check our money order. The mount is like $90 tho. |

This is a tempting option. I have a Griffin Armament Optimus on the way. I will probably end up getting my barrel threaded instead of using the 3-lug adapter. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Neomonk21:

But if I were to form 1 a can, on a scale of "1" being assembling an AR to "10" manufacturing your own handgun. How difficult is it? There seems to be a lot of guys out there doing this now. |

For the right amount of money you can buy comes and end caps and tubes and then just drill yourself. $350 + stamp for a badass custom F1 |
