Nomad TI, run it direct thread

Quote HistoryQuoted: Nomad TI, run it direct thread That has been on the short list. I should add that my primary issue with direct thread is that in my experience suppressors want to walk off, and I don't want to get baffle strikes. |

I have a Specwar 762(similar to saker)and a Nomad, specwar sounds noticeably better, Nomad is better in every other way and still sounds pretty good. Definitely more compact and lighter. I have been chasing something that’s sounds better than my specwar in a smaller package, haven’t found it. Resonator is close, but not as short or light as Nomad. Resonator K looks and feels the best but not even in the same league as the others sound wise. All observations were made on an 8 inch 300blk.

Omega-300 is also close by ear audition. Specwar sound holds up pretty well but back pressure needs to be tuned for on semis. The best part about a Specwar is you can beat an elephant to death with it if you run out of ammo.

See if Griffin Armament can give it the Eco-flow treatment
Or Ecco Machine might be able modify it somehow. |

I've been impressed by the Griffin Armament Paladin .300. I'm using on a bolt action and AR platform and sounds comparable or better than my other .30 cans. It can also be easily cleaned (a plus for me as I primarily shoot subsonic ammo).

Local dealer is really pushing the Resonator K, but doesn't seem to be in the same league as a can from DA or Surefire. What mounting system are you running on the Nomad? |

It's a well built can but the back pressure is horrible, and I ended up switching to a CGS on the carbine it was on. I appreciate the advice but have zero interest in getting a can and having it modified or getting some kind of one off thing done to it to improve the performance. I want to get something that performs reasonably well stock. |

The paladin is even larger than my already pretty good sized Saker with the Plan A mount on it so this doesn't seem to solve any of my issues. |

My EA Vox goes between a 9" mcx and a 7" phoney badger.
It's light and plenty quiet. Bravo thread pattern on both ends, so many mounting options available. Not my video |

I’m running the xeno on it currently, I have also run it direct and with asr, I’m pretty heavily invested in ASR and xeno is my first adventure with something new, I do like the xeno, it is simple. Resonator K sounds better than sandman K and is a really nice little can and does a good job, but is nothing like it’s bigger brother sound wise, not even close. |

Haven’t looked into Xeno but my understanding is it solves some of the weight/size issues with Keymo. I’ve been pretty happy with taper and Griffin Plan A on the suppressors I’ve used them on. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Wait is this a thing? @Green0 I'm sorry but no we don't have any experience with the Saker. With our tube over cans we can upgrade them for a fee but a Saker would be kind of wild. That would be a very custom service. |

Does anyone have thoughts on SilencerCo 36M?
It seems that it might actually check most of my boxes. In the short configuration it only weighs about 12 ounces with the QD adapter and would be at least an inch shorter than the Saker. And if I want to run it quieter on the same 300BLK host or other firearms I can run it in the long configuration. About the only thing I don't dig about it is the mounting system... but I might even consider going direct thread on it. Surprised there's not much discussion of this silencer in the forum. |

I have several 30 cal cans and my favorite is my Nomad Ti. It weighs noting and is ridiculously quiet on my Remington model 7 with 300 Blk subs.

Dead Air Nomad is an excellent can, but even in direct thread configuration it would be longer than 36M and probably won't suppress subsonic 300BLK any better since it's a pretty easy round to suppress. |

I like my saker 7.62 but as you point out the weight and length is a bit excessive compared to modern cans. I still use it as a hard use suppressor on my short barreled FAL. But I prefer the omega 300 on everything else. There are newer cans and better mounts, but I haven’t had any issues with ASR and use it with my 556 suppressors as well.
I would look at an Omega 300 for a second rifle suppressor. -Mike |

I would say this is going to be a dedicated can for 300BLK sub and supers but there's maybe a 10% use case where I might put it on something else. The saker would end up getting moved to my .308 and 6.5CM guns since it's more than up to the task for those guns. |

I am in general not a big fan of ‘k’ 30 cal suppressors (i prefer them in 556). Maybe for that specific use a sandman ‘k’ might be a good fit. -Mike |

I can tell you that a resonator K is loud compared to a resonator on 300 blk sub. You do have to take into consideration that the Resonator sounds amazing. To my untrained ear it sounds noticeably better than my Nomad. I also found it quieter than omega 300 and omega 36n. All of those listed are in a different league than the K cans I have heard.

An Omega-300 with a Plan A mount and flat front cap is almost a k-can. Same with a Vox-S.

Concur. The R2 sounds ridiculous especially on my 300 blk bolt gun. Both my Sandman K and S are meh at best. The Wolfman in long config also sounds good in that role. It also has the wipe endcap. Not the best accessory for accuracy but damn is it nice for sound reduction. Touching off a sub and watching friends reactions is worth every penny when you see their face afterwards. |

Well I made my decision today and ordered a Nomad Ti. I will likely run it direct threaded but Plan A is also an option. I chose it based on weight but also the low blowback due to it being a large volume advanced baffle design can.

Good call.
As long as your not going hog wild and doing mag dump after mag dump through it that will give you excellent service. |

Good choice, you can run your Saker on anything with abusive firing rates, and you'll probably wind up using the Nomad TI for everything else, it's really a standout can. My Saker 762 pretty much sits in the safe these days in favor of my lighter cans my favorite of which is my Nomad TI. |
