Thanks very much for that! Is that tool included with the silencer? We don't include a tool with the Obsidian. The tool is for our assembly guys that are putting together several hundred of them at a time. How about making them available for purchase? possibly a front cap tool on one side/Endcap on the other. Potentially made of glass filled nylon or some synthetic. Also, in regards to fixed barrel spacers, will there be a Rugged version? |

I have a prototype version 3-lug, it's done they are just waiting on custom springs for it. They should be releasing it asap! Most of you know I provide photos Rugged and other companies out there so I'll share these here to give you a better look at the 3-lug.
I will say this is the most solid 3 lug mount I've ever used. I don't know if this is a internal vs external thing but there is ZERO wobble. I've had issues with Gemtech and Silencerco (both external) 3-lug wobbling on my 9mm Glock mag SBR's barrel. The Obsidian mount is SOLID. If I had to guess, this has to do with the way the piston inside is machined. It seems the internal type 3-lugs have more surface area surrounding the 3-lug barrel once inside. 
I like the 9mm endcap. The Obsidian didn't exhibit any increased port pop and shooting the full length setup on a G17 wet with the 9mm endcap was a religious experience lol. I shoot cans every other day and I was taken aback. That being said.... don't forget to swap the endcap back when moving to a 45 host! DOH! |

I need to figure out where I can get a 3 port break for my 300 blackout barrel. I'm still waiting on my can but in the mean time I have a 308 birdcage on there with a single shim washer that's all wavy from screwing it on there and it looks ridiculous and it only hand tight.

Wild (and probably stupid) idea in my head....
Obsidian is rated for 300blk subs. Maximum pressure I can find for 300blk subs is 37,882 psi. http://www.accuratepowder.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/300_ACC_Blackout_Data.pdf 450 Bushmaster is SAAMI Max of 40,000 psi and uses a 45 ACP bullet... Is it even worthwhile to contact Rugged to see if the Obsidian would handle the 450 bushmaster? |

and "We do not recommend GA products for use in the Obsidian as they have stated that the Revolution is built to different specs. We have not tested them in the Obsidian, so I cannot say whether they will work or not."
So these will work with full Rugged warranty: https://www.store.silencerco.com/collections/silencer-accessories/products/thread-mount?variant=221764050 and for a more flushed/shorter mount, the Harvester(non Big Bore) will also work: https://www.store.silencerco.com/collections/silencer-accessories/products/harvester-thread-mount?variant=908092593 |
