any chance of some sort of arfcom discount code or otherwise?
REALLY wanna buy a barrel for my new glock, shipped from AAC its 285.77, from silencerco shipped its 252.22, and from midway for a storm lake its $230 shipped. This is for a metric G19. Shameless inquiry. 
Seriously though, I've got 3 of your cans and like 9 of your muzzle devices, quite happy with my purchases and y'all did a very fast latch replacement for me recently. Glad y'all are on the site now. |

Not enough demand for a "mini7" We get this all the time "you should build this xxx I'd buy one" in all reality if we can't make runs of 1000 we can't justify it. If we did small runs no one would pay the high price. It's a balancing act. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I think the term would more appropriately be there isn't enough demand at the price point AAC would establish to earn X margin. I'm sure AAC knows thing or two about economies of scale as well It blows my mind to think you couldn't sell 1k mini 7s in the Sandman/Recce 7 price bracket of under $750 with a mount |

Just seems logical that if the Mini4 (esp considering 556 doesn't suppress all that well to begin with) can make it, which by all accounts it has, the 7 could too. Wishful thinking I guess. |

I just did a Google search for the mini 7. It's obvious that a ton of people really want it (or wantED it). I think the whole thing now Is that AAC knows they missed their window. I don't think it'd be a good idea at this point IMO.

And just so my question doesnt get burried again. Eta on that mini 4 batch? |

Not necessarily dealers removing the mounts. AAC didn't start including mounts until last year. Anyone one with old stock may not have mounts included. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Short cans are loud and especially a 30 cal coupled with a SBR... not fun. Sorry to be Debbie Downer but sometimes a dose or reality is needed. |

Sorry nothing in the works for 18x1 right now not enough demand at this time. You guys seen the 250+ page CZ Scorpion Evo thread in the PCC section? There's a lot of suppressors in there. I went with an Omega 9K specifically because I liked how low profile and simple the direct thread 18mm mount offering they had was. Curious as to what lead to that decision. |
