I am saving up to get a 7.62 can and am looking at what is available and I noticed that there are some interesting and innovative (at least in appearance if not function) options out there.
I also noticed that the two that are on top of my list, AAC and SureFire, are not user serviceable. I would venture to guess that they are such because those companies are marketing to M&P who would not want something that even can be serviced as they would not want additional workload for their armorers and would not want their users to fiddle with things and fug them up. (just my best guess) Does anyone know why these companies have gone with their design and not a User Serviceable design? Would User Serviceable be a primary requirement to those here who own or are thinking of owning in the future? |

If you are going to shoot a lot of cast lead reloads, it becomes a bigger issue. |

Does anyone know why these companies have gone with their design and not a User Serviceable design? Because it is entirely unnecessary for rifle suppressors and, additionally, would either sacrifice the strength required to withstand te high pressures of a full power center fire rifle load or inordinately increase the weight. |

I know what you were trying to say, but I think you just said that to make a durable can you sacrifice durability. |

Meant to say that long-term durability or what abuse the can is rated for would suffer as materials/thicknesses would be chosen to get the weight down at the cost of how much you can put through it. |

user serviceable is overrated. for the cans that take apart, I have to clean them all the time to ensure they don't get locked up. I much more like the sealed cans, fire and forget I say...
Just to deal with the upgrades on my Octane to ensure it can be user cleaned, I will have sent it back to the mfg. twice in less than two years. I could just have sent my can for cleaning every 5 years and I still wouldn't have had to return it yet. |
