Mine was approved on 7/10. It was paper filed last year (either late Aug or early Sep) and went Pending 11/27. Had two error letters to deal with. Can is actually in a box heading to me today (along with a 45Osprey and a Spectre II).
I saw somebody else on another site post they got theirs almost two weeks ago, so I asked his impression. The response: I have been out a couple of times with it, and I must say I am VERY impressed. This is my first suppressor so I don't have much experience besides shooting a few demos at shoots. I've shot it on my 5.56, 6.8, and my 308 bolt gun. It literally just sounds like a .22 when shooting. It suppresses all three calibers extremely well, it actually exceeded my expectations for it. My father was so impressed he is having a trust made and is going to purchase one as soon as that is done, which he was a huge skeptic when I purchased it.
You won't be disappointed! I have 7 hosts sitting here waiting with QD mounts. A mix of SBR (10"-12") and full size (16"-20"), and a mix of 5.56/6.8/300BLK. |

Mine was approved about two weeks ago and I have had it out once so far with my 16" 300blk AR. It was comfortable shooting both subs and supersonic loads w/o earpro. It's quiet enough that I realized just how loud the AR action is.

Received mine a month or so ago. My first impression was" my TiRant is quieter than this" shooting 300 AAC subs
Granted i shot 220 grain subs with the TiRant and have only shot 187 gr Gemtech with the 30.LT

Didn't mount it to any of the other hosts, as the other mounts are all outside the rail, if just barely. |

I got mine a couple of months ago and only used it twice now. It's on a 20" MEGA 308 build. This is my first suppressor and I am VERY impressed with it. On my brothers 10.5" 5.56 it does an okay job at suppressing but not much.
I can;t afford a 5.56 YHM QD mount yet so I can use it on my 5.56 rifle yet. I'm still looking for one. |

The LT uses the Same mounts as the Classic/Non LT versions. I know there was a change with the mounts but can never remember what works with what.

As embarrassing as it is, I can't swing the $75 shipped for a new one. I have the 7.62 mount that it came with on my .308 gun but I am just finishing a 10.5 upper build for my SBR. When I can afford it, I want to get another stamp for a dedicated 5.56 suppressor as well. Edit: If you do find one in the $40 range PLEASE let me know or hell, buy it and I will buy it from you. If you're willing of course. |

Saw mine at the shop today for the first time. Still have around 3-4 weeks left before stamp approval. I'm at 4 months on Aug 2nd.
I was surprised at how light it felt in the hands. On my 10.5 I regularly carry a 556 YHM phantom for work and it a pig to have at the end of the barrel. I'm gonna love this can i think :)

Got mine out of jail two days ago. Two hundred and twenty three days after I sent the paperwork in. I like it. Very compact and it doesn't really feel like 20oz. Don't have a clue how it compares suppression wise to other models as I don't have any other ones to compare it to, but it seems to do a good job. It comes with one QD and I bought three more to use it on all my guns. (2) 300BLK, (1) 556, and (1) .22.
Probably would have went with the new Titanium version of the LT, but it came out like a week after I bought the SS. But now that I've handled the SS it really isn't that bad weight wise, again I think in part because it's so compact it doesn't SEEM heavy. Spare QD indicates the balance point with bipod attached: http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a590/steelbait/700_zpse0617115.jpg http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a590/steelbait/Bitsy2_zpsf50ee376.jpg |

Got to shoot mine today. Tried it out on both 10" 300BLK SBR using subsonic ammo, and 12" 6.8 using standard ammo.
Didn't think about try to capture any video until I was out of ammo for these two hosts.  (did get some of the Spectre II and 45Osprey).
The 6.8 was definitely nice, but with supersonic ammo still a little loud. The 300BLK however...was niiiiiiice. First time I've actually heard the buffer spring bouncing around.

Got mine about a month ago. I'd say its comparable to my .30 cal SS Phantom in performance on a 9" 300blk and 16" 5.56 but MUCH lighter. Also shorter and skinnier. Its gonna live on my 300 blk.

As info...
Although it would've been nice for YHM to ship the LT in a pouch instead of just a bubble-wrap pouch, they do offer pouches for sale separately. They offer an 8" and 10" version...and with the LT listed at 7.625", I assumed the shorter one would work. I did get YHM to confirm this before I ordered, and the pouch arrived today. It's a little oddly shaped, almost triangular, but it works. 
The YHM-TSP-10 is the 10", and the YHM-TSP-8 is the 8", both called Tactical Suppressor Pouch. The brief description of the TSP-8 from YHM: These nylon pouches use a heat resistant Basofil lining that won't melt or burn and feature a Velcro belt loop and a snap lid. These pouches adjust to fit a variety of sound suppressors as well as flashlights and other accessories. Accommodates Phantom 5.56, MITE and Wraith suppressors. For comparison, I'd say it's nicer than the pouch my Spectre II came in, but not as nice as the one the Osprey came in. |

For the record:
Steve @ Battlecloth is the go-to guy for custom suppressor pouches. [email protected] if I recall correctly... That said, the Osprey pouch is actually Maxpedition's MP-5 magazine pouch with the SilencerCo logo sewn on. I have my storage/transport pouch and I also throw a spare on my chest rig sometimes if I'm going to be running from a holster but might want to use the can at some point. I might have had to call them to order one, but I don't remember. I haven't used any of the YHM pouches mostly because I just don't really like the color black for any gear, but haven't heard anything bad about them. I will put my cans away when I can hold them with a glove on comfortably and no sooner, though, so if you're doing mag dumps and then need to put it away I can certainly see the utility of the pouches with a fireproof lining. |

Anybody here have both an LT and a YHM 5.56 QD can? If so, will you try something for me?
I know the LT and 5.56 cans won't fit on the .30 mounts made for the full size .30 cans that are longer. There are specific LT mounts that need to be used, but it also fits on the 5.56 mounts. I needed five mounts recently, and the place I ordered from only had four of the LT mounts, so I also ordered a regular 5.56 mount for the fifth. When I got them, they had different part numbers but looked identical. The LT mount appears to be the 5.56 mount drilled out and threaded to 5/8-24. If anybody has a 5.56 can and a mount specifically designed for the LT, will you see if it will attach? Wasn't sure if there was some slight machining difference that I didn't notice. |

An older YHM Phantom 223 (3100 series) AND my new 762LT DO both fit the old 556 FH mount (YHM-3102-28A) and brake mount (YHM-5M2-QD). I purchased several of these two mounts to mount my 762LT on my 5.56 rifles and they work fine.
The Phantom 223 can does NOT fit the 5/8-24 30cal LT mount (YHM-4302-24A)... well... it doesn't fit it properly/screw all the way down to the ratchet. It does partially thread on though. I hope this answers your question. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I don't have calipers to check any measurements Thanks for the reply. |

Finally put a few rounds through mine on Sunday and was pleasantly surprised at how quiet it is. While I was wearing ear plugs, I was expecting it to be much louder than it was because I was shooting full power .308 through a 16" barrel. Maybe this weekend I'll take a shot or two without ear pro to see what it sounds like. Gun is a RRA LAR-8 Mid Length. I was also surprised that there was no gas blow back in my face at all.
Only noteworthy issue is the mount. The threaded section of the RRA barrel is about .05" longer than the mating end of the mount. A spacer is needed. |
