It would be for 556 11.5 inch and also have an 18 inch. I have not seen too much on it either

My buddy has a Turbo K in jail and I have an MG7 in jail, both with the same dealer who is a friend of ours. I’m hoping to get to the range with both of them sometime in the next month to do a comparison of the two, plus the SAS Eadrom I already have.

Does the mg7 come with mounts to be able to use qd mount muzzle brake systems that work with other manufacturers muzzle brakes? I thought I heard that they had this but have not seen anything on their website or any other places.

Quote HistoryQuoted: My only other dedicated 9mm can is a form 1 SS and Ti can that has DHC baffle clips and is 1.35 diameter and 8” long. I would say that if this can has less back pressure because of the larger volume. The MG7 also uses any common threaded mounting system. I bought the MG7 for my M11 because the warranty and it is rated full auto. MG7 is best on a sub gun or rifle... wouldn’t use it on a pistol. To add to this it is extremely well built and I will be buying more!

Anyone get their MG7 K out of jail yet? Or any other first hand feedback? |

I've got several 10.5",11.5", & 12.5" setups with various manufacturers qd's. I don't have a turbo k, but I can test my newly approved mg7 .358 against a yhm turbo, specwar k, saker k. I'm also interested to see how it fairs as my hybrid sounds pretty good on short host.

I can’t wait either. I pulled the trigger this last weekend and went with the mg7 .224. Now just the waiting game. Every person that has shot one has not had anything bad to say about it so I figured I couldn’t go wrong. I wish Rex Silentium would put out some decibel testing videos

Quote HistoryQuoted: Looks great! Cant wait for your review! You all are lucky I had to bribe my son by 3d printing lego power armor  and the wife by cooking supper  ...
To save time, and not have to change rocksett’ed qd mounts, I only shot 2 almost identical 10.5” 5.56 setups. Saker k vs the MG7 .358. I had my wife and son shot into dirt alternating shots. I stood to the side about 25-30ft away without ears. The MG7 is louder but not by much. The tone is slightly lower but if the bore was .224 I think it might be pretty even. I might try it again on something longer 14.5” or 16” later. As 10.5” is still fairly loud suppressed with k size cans. For 5.56 if the bore was .224. I think it would be good. But the turbo k might be hard to beat for a dedicated short 5.56 host. Yhm being a bigger company, including more mounts/shims, having a thicker blast baffle, etc. I bought all my 5.56 k cans at good prices so I can’t say buy a MG7 cause it’s cheaper. My .358 is good but won’t be replacing my 5.56k cans, and I didn’t intend for it too. But I think you should be happy buying a MG7 in .224. Overall I’m pleased. |

I’ve got both but haven’t really compared them side to side since Turbo K is only 223 and my MG7 is 30 cal. I havent measured but the Turbo seems noticeably smaller so I would think it would be louder as it is pretty loud on 10.5 223 which is to be expected. It’s does however tame it down a bunch. The Rex is about one notch down from Nomad in my opinion on 30 cal hosts but once again it is a little smaller so maybe to be expected.
I’ll try and get another cherry bomb for 223 see how Rex does on short 223 and update. |

Both cans will serve you well.
If this is a dedicated .223 build the only real difference that is tangible will be the size of the can itself and its weight. The Rex can is a light weight can BUT once you add a mount, its going to be much heavier than the Turbo K. That right there is really the only difference to the naked ear. Metering means dick all to me provided the can falls in line with other's in its class. One decibel here or there means nothing to me as an end user. Tone, mounts, weight, construction, price are all of the defining features that I'm looking for in a can. Not necessarily listed in order of importance. The only other difference would be the inconel blast baffle in the YHM. That right there is worth something to me as it is arguably more durable at least on paper than the MG7. I dont really perceive this as ever being an issue but I dont know what your firing schedule is like. I have an MG7 with a .358 bore and a YHM turbo. Between the two, the Rex can looks cooler to me as its PVD finish is friggin awesome. I also personally like the larger diameter as I think it looks cool. I have yet to fire the Rex can on a centerfire rifle caliber and probably wont for some time as its in jail and my range is shut down. |

Not sure what I want to go with or just do direct thread. I like having the flexibility of qd. I would probably do yhm but saw they also had Kurz mount that is lighter and shorter overall length. I’m not real familiar with all the qd mounting options out there other than yhm, SilencerCo, dead air. Does anyone have a list of all the well known and/or non mainstream qd options? |

Mounting options that thread into 1.375” x 24tpi tubes (Omega/Hybrid) include SiCo direct thread and ASR Bravo Mount, Hansohn Brothers titanium direct thread, Griffin Plan A and Plan A XL, Q Plan B, Dead Air KeyMo for Omega, Area 419, YHM for Omega. Rex Silentium had direct thread and muzzle brakes previously. Diversified Machine used to have some mounts.
It’s a good idea to source the muzzle devices when you source the mounts. The availability of these items goes in and out of stock fluidly. |
