I want to get a suppressor for my X95 Tavor. I decided on a flow through design due too the rifle being so overgased. My local shop sells the wit machine tu tu three. I was told it is a flow through but I am concered about how efective this small of a suppressor will work.  Anyone use these or any other flow let me know what you think. All information  will be helpful.

That does not look flow-through IMHO.

HUXWRX 556K Flow.  Thank me later.

This.

Last year I bought an OSS/HuxWrx HX-QD 556 Ti specifically for my X95.

If I were to buy it now, I'd get the 556k Flow.

This should be a drinking game for this subforum. Take a drink every time someone says... I bought a "X" but if I were to buy today I would buy "Y" lol

Seriously.

Every time I buy a suppressor, it seems a few month into my wait, another one comes out that I wish got instead.

But for suppressors that are on my wish list for a long time, it seems nothing comes out that would replace them.

Isn't it the truth.  You hit the nail on the head.

You look at everything and compare price vs features, then make a decision.  Two months in (maybe less), some big improvement comes out and makes you wish you had that.  Then you get to wait 6+ more months for what you spent all that money on but aren't quite as excited about anymore.  The NFA process stinks.

ETA: But it's also true that the older design that you want for clone or whatever purposes never change and never come down in price, no matter how out of date the design.  Oh, and they're not easy to find, even though they're supposedly still in production.

That doesn't look very flow through to me. Also, I don't think I've ever seen that company name before. I would stick to an established manufacturer.

That's true, there are a lot of options here in the US right now. But better and interesting are very subjective. A good example is when Griffin released the Explorr 224/300 with the 1.375x24 mounting.  I had just ordered a YHM Res2 and thought it was sufficient. But I liked how light the new can is, along with the lower back pressure Eco Flow baffles.  Going back and doing it over again, I'd have skipped the Res2.

Light weight and low back pressure seem to be making strides through the industry. Now the new thing is 3d printing. Next will be something else. For the money and long wait, we obsess over the slightest percieved benefits and advantages for our next purchase.


Yeah, sometimes I wonder about some of the new stuff coming out. A lot of hype and little apparent substance.  Most civilian customers probably have little opportunity or experience to evaluate what's real and what's not (like Hearing Safe ). So a lot of companies can get away with alternative facts.  It makes me jaded about anything new and far from the norm, or from new companies in the market (like Aero Precision).

I'm starting to assume all suppressors are going to sound pretty much the same except for back pressure, gas in the face, size, weight and adaptability or modularity.

Witt Machine? They’ve been around a while, but aren’t very popular. They’re known for making outrageous claims about performance and durability that the form factor and materials can’t possibly provide.



Every year or three a company makes an announcement, usually at SHOT, that they’re getting into cans, and this one will be much better than all the others, and oh, yeah, its 119 dB on a 10.5” .338 Lapua. And the announcement reads as if I’m going to suddenly make the best engine piston in all of NASCAR, and that car will be unbeatable. I’ve only changed oil and light bulbs a few times, but its obvious to me that I’m ready to take that leap and I’ll be uber successful in the first season.

We never hear from most of them again.

OSS (HUXWRX) is always good on backpressure.  Griffin has some very low backpressure models, too.  The recent thread about low backpressure cans has responses from Griffin in it.  KGM has some relatively low backpressure cans, too.  There are several models to choose from these days.

3 models of the 556 Flow, K is smaller, Ti is lighter.  Any difference in performance?  K the loudest as it is smallest?

My x95 was painful to shoot with a regular baffled can like the sandman S. I switched to an oss and it was amazing. Big difference. I would recommend.

The 556k flow is the newest one and the only one that’s 3D printed

Thanks, trying to decide between it and the Explorr

Maybe the future is now, and I'm an old man. But, not being able to repair the 3D printed stuff scares me. If you have a bunch of cans, sure. The wait for a new stamp isn't bad. But, I would want it to be my only can.

How often do cans need repaired?

Yeah, that gave me pause. I'm OK with the "so last year" HX-QD 556 Ti I have now.

Every time you have a bullet go through an endcap and/or baffle/internal parts. HuxWrx/OSS said their Flow556K can not be repaired. You will need to write it off and Form 4 a new one.

Maybe that will never happen. Maybe something will loosen without you noticing next time you are at the range.  

Was that the old OSS Helix (the one that unscrewed and came apart) or the sealed one that they are still selling now?

Either way, it's impressive if you are beating OSS at the back pressure game with a baffled can. I really need to compare my Recce 5 to my 5.56 OSS on the same host.

What do people think about the B&T RBS line of suppressors? I think it's cool that they use Surefire mounts, since I already have some from my RC2. I am considering another 7.62 can that is flow-through.

Thanks for the clarification. I definitely had that confused.

Good luck with the testing for the contract.

I recently got my Huxwrx HX-QD 556 approved. I chose it because as a lefty, shooting pretty much anything is a miserable experience with standard cans. I run it on various semiautos with barrels ranging from 10.3" up to 18", including my Tavor SAR. Very pleasant to shoot on everything.

The FlowK came out about a month after I certified my HX-QD, and initially I was pissed that I missed out, but then I found out that the FlowK has about half the service life of the HX-QD and am glad with my choice.
