Anyone have one? I’m curious about suppression levels…zero loss…return to zero. I see it’s pretty modular how does that work long term? Are the flash suppressor caps worth getting?
Thanks for your time. |

I’ve used my Saker k on several rifles in the 13-16” range. I don’t need the flash suppressing end cap. An acquaintance has the Saker k on a 10.5” and it spits out absolute fireballs. The end cap was never in stock when he tried to order it last I spoke to him.

I'm pretty happy with my Saker 556k ASR. My zero does not change on my ADM 10.5 SBR with it on off. It's not something I'd want to shoot a magazine without hearing protection but it makes it much more pleasant to shoot. My 16" rifle is very quiet and no issues with POI shift .
I've been using the ASR system for many years and have several cans with no issues. It's not the lightest or the shortest, however. If I was starting from scratch it might not be my first choice. |

Yeah, this isn’t my first can…since it isn’t it brought to me where I’m looking at it. I won’t so much be looking at high volume of fire. I’m not worried about the blow back. Things like suppression, repeatability, I like that the flash suppressor mount isn’t a tuning fork. It seems like there’s been issues with the can shooting off from mount…but maybe that’s user error more than the mounts fault?

It seems like there’s been issues with the can shooting off from mount…but maybe that’s user error more than the mounts fault? The Saker K is one of my all-time favorites, but it doesn't sound like it's necessairly the can you're really after. Suppression, it's barely good enough. (I like the size vs. suppression aspect of it, and it's "good enough" for being that small.) There are no real issues with the can shooting off with the ASR system aside from user error and negligence. Where the Saker K really excels is being put on very hard use SBRs. The durability is absolutely exceptional... it's one of the toughest cans made. It's such a good hell-and-back little can. It's also one of the only suppressors I've seen stand up long term to hard use on a 7.5" barrel select fire LWRC we have. I may get some flak for the next statement, but I think the majority of the big players have it figured out with mounting options. The repeatability is pretty darn good with most of the modern cans and mounting systems. |

Thanks, but I’m looking at the full sized Saker and not the “K.”

So you’ll get good muzzle suppression but with high back pressure. Sturdy can that will shrug off the worst 10.5” use. On the heavier end. Which will give you more POI deflection between attached and no can.
If 16” is the primary host consider lighter options. |

I have the Saker and it's been a great can. I use it on multiple rifles and even my AKS-74U. It is probably just me, but I don't get gassed out by it. The ASR mount works fine although I did switch to Rearden Atlas to shorten things up.

My Saker556 sits in my safe with no host to use it anymore. While it is as close to bomb proof as possible, it’s heavy and extremely gassy. I’m not the biggest fan of adjustable gas blocks unless it’s absolutely required, so that became a problem.
All of my 5.56 hosts now wear Turbo K-RBs. Shorter and lighter, although I’m obviously giving up some suppression. More importantly, way less gassy. My SR15 CQB was near unshootably gassy running drills with the Saker. No longer a problem with YHM. In 2024, unless you need those “bomb proof” attributes, I’d look at something else. There are a ton of good options out there. In the “full size” can world, I’ve been impressed enough with my .30 Griffin Explorr that I’d say take a look at the .224 Explorr. Reasonably lightweight (something I’d pay attention to if this will see a lot of time on a 16” gun) and very manageable backpressure. |

OP, have you seen the silencerco veloso? It might be my next can since I'm all in on silencerco.

I’m not so worried about the gasses or overall weight. Suppression and flash signature is a concern. I have some TI cans for weight, but at the compromise of flash. The can will mostly see service on a 16” LaRue. |

I’d look hard at the SiCo Velos LBP K can.
