I have several rifle cans that I'm thinking about moving to plan B.  I currently have a Turbo T3, YHM R2 and Aero Lahar30k, all with YHM's phantom QD system.

I'm thinking about movning to Plan B due to greater availability of muzzle devices and I like that they're a bit lighter.  I'm mostly running them on 11.5-12.5" SBRs, but also some 16" guns as well as a few bolt guns.  

I'll need three hub mounts and several muzzle devices.  (I've favored flash hiders in the past so they don't need to be timed)

If you had to start over, what would you buy?  Am I making a mistake?  Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks!

I personally like the Zilch mount for plan B stuff.
https://diligentdefense.com/product/zilch-hub-adapter/

Or the Ecco machine Titanium ones are good also.
https://www.eccomachine.net/product/cherry-bomb-adapter/

The wrench flats on the Zilch adapter are a lot nicer for install than the spanner wrench ones in my opinion but either adapter is nice.
Here's another link with a ton of options if you have time to look through it all.

Just made a video and thread about this. You’re on the right track, Plan B is my recommendation for people who want to swap cans around.

I think your on the right track. I'm starting to really like the Comstock Armory stuff for plan B.  Has hub adapters ranging from extended to recessed. As well as recessed muzzle devices. Also has a fitment tool.

He doesn't sell direct from his site, but has links to retailers who have the device your looking at on that product page.

I'm currently switching to plan b from Keymo, its lighter, more straightforward, and a wider variety of hubs and muzzle devices.
Been getting Rearden Manufacturing and Comstock armory for parts and they've been solid so far

A shop near me stocks KVP muzzle devices and hub adapters.  Are those ok?

Hansohn Brothers sells some comstock armory parts and has a few plan-b parts they make.  I have a few Hansohn and a few Comstock armory full size A1 flash suppressors for plan-b.  Both are fine.  They also have muzzle brakes, full and K.

Yeah, KVP should be good to go and very reasonably priced.

If I was starting over, Plan B.  I have so many different ones now that it would cost a couple grand to swap them all, but I am slowly doing Plan B on new purchases.

I tried to use a similar mount to the Zilch, the Rearden Mini , to keep weight down and be as minimal as possible. Honestly...I think those mount types just look imcomplete on the muzzle. It looks like unfinished plumbing on the front of the gun.

At some point for me, aesthetics matter. I much prefer the look of a small birdcage or brake even if it does add a minimal amount of weight. Just FYI for anyone thinking they want the smallest mount possible. That tend to look a bit funky in some cases (IMO).

Hopefully you weren’t done mounting the scope…

My first can was a YHM Resonator R2 that came with the Phantom muzzle device.    I've just stayed with YHM because it works, even if it's a little ugly and heavy.

Let me know if you want to get rid of your YHM stuff at a reasonably low price.

I use the Wolfpack Amory low profile HUB adapter with their recessed flash hider comp on my cans and love it

Just got my first Plan B stuff. Ordered the Zilch and some Comstock muzzle devices from Hansohn Bros to move an Omega 300 around.

Now I want to replace all my old heavy Trifecta mounts and convert my Saker to Plan B.  I should probably resist the urge and just get more cans.
Get both is the answer.

I have stuck with YHM and use their sRx system. Very light and the cans stay put. My 1 experience with Plan B was not the same. It constantly loosened up. However, tons of people use it without issue so I may have had bad parts.

I have a bunch of plan B muzzle devices and mounts. I have one specific combination that won't stay put and always backs out. I fixed it with some of the yellow Teflon tape. No issues now. My suspicion is that it's a tolerance stacking issue. You may have had the same problem.
Your boos mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer

This, I’m a big fan of the YHM SRX mounts.
