Quoted: Looking at buying an Acc Sr 7 for a pretty good price. Slightly used. Comes with 3 mounts; One for the 308 and two for 223s. I've been trying to do some research on these and can find very little review information on the Internet. Any one own one and what are your thoughts? I've read some info on their 90 tooth quick detach system. I would think if a lot of people were running these cans there would be some review information out there. Thanks  |

The SR (SR-5 & SR-7) series are one of the most under rated cans out there. Not much exposure on these as it was during the "transition" but the taper mount system is outstanding and the construction of the can is overbuilt to say the least. We should have some advertising and reviews coming over the next several months.

I have both the SR5 and SR7...love them both. Not sure why the market has gone quiet on AAC because both of these cans are awesome. There was a lot of push back from the AAC crowd regarding the move from the 51T to the new 90T and the SilencerShop video comparing the new SR5 to the old M4-2000 probably didn't help (note: I have shot both and prefer the tone on the new SR5 over the old M4-2000. Plus, the lock up on the new 90T mount is better).

Thanks everyone for all the great input. Gonna pull the trigger on the Sr-7. All I will need is another mount for the other 308. I have an ar10 and a scout I want to set up. Don't really need the two 223 mounts that come with the package deal and and I will figure something out.

Actually the SR series was initially announced at SHOT in 2012. But they didn't ship until the middle of 2014 due to design issues and let's face it here- the Remington machine. So the Specwars and Sakers were all shipping WAY before the first SR-5/7's. So the whole latest and greatest doesn't hold water. People want what is marketed towards them. Just look at cell phones. 
My honest opinion, and I saw it firsthand, was that the market turned against a product with a 30+ month delay in introduction. Only Larue customers would tolerate a wait like that. 
When they were finally released it was a soft release with no marketing backbone behind it. So it's not entirely uncommon for a consumer or dealer to say "I've never heard of that silencer ()SR-5/7 before" when all they have had SilencerCo's marketing machine beat the Specwar/Saker/Omega into their heads with a sledge hammer for the past couple years. As far as the can goes it serves well, with a better mount than the 51T. I have one of the first 200 made on a dedicated 12.5 .300BLK MPW. OP if you can get one on a bargain go right at it. |

I've had a SR7 for about a year and a half. No complaints from me. Lock up on the 90T mount is tight. Suppression is good. Back pressure is not excessive. The "good silencer" market is crowded these days. What does it do better than it's competitors? I don't know. But there also isn't really any area which it lags either. |

I'm happy with my M42K and my ARs all wear 51T mounts, so not in a hurry to switch. But interesting looking can nonetheless. |

No SR5, but I do have an SR7 and an M4-2K. And another SR7 on the way theoretically, I won another one last year, but the match director has dropped the ball in a big way and I don't know if I'll ever see it. As stated above, the 90T taper mount is a big improvement, and it's a pretty good can IMO.

I used my SR7 in a night match this past weekend. Here's some video of it.

Nicely done. Smooth and fast...
On the reload, was the pistol barrel orientation intentional? |

Yes, that's intentional. Rotate hand clockwise, barrel is pointing about 10:30 so I can see the magwell opening and watch the mag start inside the frame.

Here's a video of my 6 year old shooting a DoubleStar ARC with the SR7. Steel target is about 85 yards. He was aiming for the hostage taker.

I had both the SR5 and SR7 on order, but after an absolutely ridiculous year long wait before the dealer even got the cans, I bought surefire instead. I still got the surefire cans before the aac cans made it to market. |
