It's a commercial can. Don't know the brand.
I think the rifle is a older bushmaster or colt. |

If it's keyholing at 7 yards, the bullets are touching the baffles. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Way more info is needed before anyone can accurately diagnose this.
Actual manufacturer of gun AND can Ammo Barrel length and twist Factory thread job or gunsmith? This would be a good start. |

My fluted barrel DPMS .308 was a nail-driver - until I'd put on my can. Then, it'd just go crazy.
Had to install a custom heavy barrel to fix the problem. Barrel doesn't flex even a little bit now. I suspect that's the problem, but hey! It could be any number of factors. |

If he left a crush washer on the barrel, or the shoulder of the threads were dirty you'll get this issue.
There's also the possibility of non-concentric threads, but honestly that is so rare on AR's, doubly so for well known manufacturers. Either way: STOP shooting the gun and take it to a smith! |

It is a baffle or endcap strike and is due to misalignment. The commonest cause is the use of a crush washer or lockwasher. Second commonest cause is bad threading of the muzzle.
