Interesting, it's titanium and the SCAR 17 wasn't one of the debut reviews. Also surprised how well it did on the bolt gun, second only to the Nomad by 0.04 (EDIT) at the ear and besting it at the muzzle:

Yeah looks like they have really stepped up their game the last few years. Light weight low backpressure is intriguing.

I wonder if they would stack up similarly or if they would compare very differently? |

Does better on 556 then the 556flow. And my 556 flow just got approved last week.

This is the first time I've actually considered buying one of their cans. On paper, it all looks good but I'm still going to wait to see what other shooters subjectively say about its performance compared to gold standard centerfire cans. I like that they don't look like heavy polygonal turds anymore and that the muzzle devices aren't ugly as shit
I don't like that they supposedly can't be repaired, but time will tell if that turns out to be an issue. c

Hey guys! Thanks for sharing my data and analysis! I worked really hard on this.
Really big thanks to HUXWRX for trusting me to perform this work to validate the performance of their silencer. This was a busy month... and it was really a joy to do! Jay PEW Science Edit: I have just received the following information from HUXWRX regarding warranty repair of the FLOW series: ...we surgically cut off the end caps, and bore out the cores, then insert a special 3D part that we can insert that is attached to the cap. Then we weld them shut. Doesn't change anything on the performance or sound of them, or tolerances. Pretty amazing stuff. I am highlighting this due to the significant discussion of this topic I have seen online. Hope this helps! |

The big question is how it does on subs, seeing as it appears to trap more gas, or slow it down more, than previous designs. If it is even somewhat comparable to some of the traditional designs then they've fully cracked the code and solved the gas variability issue with 300Blk.

I do like how you can get a hefty wrench on them though. They are certainly about function over form. And I can respect that. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Wow, that's huge! That was my only reservation about these new 3D printed cans. Thanks for sharing that Jay! You are most welcome, sir. That actually kind of blew my mind. I mean, in theory, I see it. I did not know they would do it! Hahaha Also something that blew my mind - they commented to a guy on social media that HUXWRX stands for "Human Exposure Workshop." I did not know that. Based on their product performance traits, again, makes sense, but how did I not know that before? Hahaha When I visited them in Utah a few years back (before they were a testing client) we exchanged technical data from our own respective research for review, and I got to tour their lab. They do a lot of neat stuff! That was before the "HUXWRX" rebrand. Jay PEW Science |

Keep in mind that this is much smaller and lighter than a lot of the category leaders. It is about the size of a nomad. Compare it to suppressors in that size category it does great. |

I'd really love to know how these cans stack with 30 cal semi-auto data. what im getting at is this is far more impressive to me on a mk18 host being such a short barrel and a semi (AKA not a great host to suppress). its a 30 cal can, so its bread and butter should be on a bolt action 308 (like jay tested); but that particular host and setup is not impressive to me. filtering the 762 flow on the 308 bolt gun via shooters ear nets it 16th place. IMO, that is embarrassing for a company that makes cans catered towards keeping crap away from the shooter (espcially when you consider how well the flow 556k ranked when it was released). |

A 16th place ordinal ranking could be relatively meaningless. It could be suppressors within a range of scores are audibly barely distinguishable. The test data is still very sparse. I don’t think a single suppressor has been fully characterized yet. The hosts chosen aren’t even well suited for that.

I’m interested in it because it can double on a bolt action and a 6.5 creedmoor semi, which would be terrible with a high back pressure can.
