Looking to pick up a PS90. Not sure if I will stick with 16" barrel or SBR it. The plan is to have a dedicate can for the PS90. What are my best options for both SBR route and 16" barrel? |

Pretty good timing all things considered! I'm waiting for AU to ship my B&T P90/PS90 can so I can do some reviewing. It's a new dedicated can that uses the factory/clone muzzle devices similar to the Gemtech Halo design from the 2000s. I've always been pretty meh on the suppressor options for the PS90 and sat on my SBR stamp for a long time until this dropped like two weeks ago.  Failed To Load Title |

I’ve since bought centering rods and a spacer but haven’t tried either out yet. |

The best can for the PS90 is NO can! FN never designed the P90 / PS90 to be suppressed. Suppressed PS90 will enviably crack the stock where the takedown button is. Maybe @Buffman_LT1 has photos |

From reading various forums and what not I've gathered a good route to go is SBR the gun first then add a .30 cal or 9mm can to tame the initial blast at the muzzle and keep backpressure down. After that its more about keeping the recoil from beating the stock to death or popping the magazine out. You can swap out the 1.5oz rate reducer for a 3.0oz full tungsten block (pricey @ $192) or go ghetto style with lead golfers tape (like $10) applied all over the bolt carrier. You can get stronger magazine release springs as well but that seems more like a bandaid solution than a real fix. There is also a stock repair/preventative measure you can install as last resort. |

Really pleased so far but need to put more miles on it |

I used my Silencerco Omega 300 and it worked great, but I wanted a dedicated suppressor. I bought the GSL P-90 for it and I am waiting (I hope not much longer) for it to be approved. My dealer who is a good friend let me have the flash hider to put on the SBR. I am just now in the waiting game. I have heard that these are made by the same guy who designed the Gemtech SAR57. We will see how it performs. |

How well does this can work for the 5.7? |

We run a YHM turbo K on our post sample PS90 and really like it. You can get the super compact mounts and really get the length down, plus the QD mount means you can shrink it even more for storage or transport Sven Manticore Arms |

| I ordered the HUXWRX FLOW 556K for one of mine. Hopefully it will be easy on the stock. I’m waiting on the tungsten rate reducers to get back in stock. I can use it on my AR’s too. |

With so many suggesting the YHM Turbo K what are the thoughts on using a newer Turbo K-RB (reduced back pressure) or similar reduced back pressure suppressor? I haven’t been happy with using any rimfire suppressors on my PS90 SBR and with the pending release of the FRT’s for the PS90 I have renewed interest in one that works and is safe to shoot on this platform. |
Rex Low back pressure 224 can works nicely: X-PRT 90; This is Insane! #FNP90 #fn57 #shorts #xprt90 #frt #57x28mm #fnfirearms |
YHM T3 works nice too: FRT on FN PS90: X-PRT90 #fnp90 #fn57 #shorts #57x28mm |

The YHMs are popular because they are inexpensive. A lower back pressure/flow can is ideal for the blowback platform. If you're in need of a 556 can that might jump around to different platforms a HUXWRX 556 flow would be a great option. Reducing bolt carrier group velocity in any gas gun/blow back weapon is going to increase reliability, longevity and reduce maintenance. Gemtech just released their Nebula dedicated 5.7 can with plan B mounts that might be a good option as well. |

I had been using a Gemtech G5 with mine for years because the Gemtech, now GSL, flash hider is the one correct looking one. It looks like the P90 flash hider. The back pressure from the G5 has caused occasional malfunctions. GSL has come out with a Bi-lock hub adapter, I'm using that with a B&T XH-SC now. The lower back pressure helps prevent malfunctions. The GSL hub adapter is heavy though. |
