My latch on my 762SD was worn, which caused a subsequent end cap strike.



I contacted AAC about a repair. They got right back to me, sent and RMA tag and off the suppressor went.




Fast forward two weeks. Repaired (new latch, new end cap and refinished) and at my door via UPS . Very pleased with the customer service.  +1 AAC.




Kinda strange having a suppressor delivered to your front door

They are a great company to work with.  Glad things worked out for you.

Yes, they rock.  I had a bulge in my old 18t 762SD from a possible overpressure and they replaced the can outright for a new 51t.  Just cost me the $200 and some time, but I got a new and better can.  I will continue to buy their products.  Was yours a 51t?

It is a 51t

Have you considered removing a little off the back of the 51t so that the can makes that last ratchet.

I have heard of such things, but am not really familiar with the process.

Really easy to do.  Sharpie, smooth stone for a Dremel, and go really slow.

My SDN-6 was almost a full tooth loose on my 10.5" rifle, and TIGHT on all my other mounts. After just shy of 2 years of ownership, my can popped over that last tooth just a few days ago on its own. I see no reason to modify the mounts; just use the can and it'll get there.

Sounds like great customer service from AAC once again, but I'm starting to wish that the latch wasn't so prone to wearing out. Something like the Osprey, where you screw it on and then tighten the latch down, seems ideal.

I am very pleased with them as well.  I also received the same letter from Cade along with 2 stickers

Yep! Im way too scared I would modify the shelf too much on one side or another. Either carbon built up or it finally snapped over like you are saying. Its got the smallest amount of play now, which I prefer because it effects nothing and makes sure the can doesnt lock on the mount

If you hold the button down while you tighten it, to avoid the clicking sound as much as possible, you would think that your saving lots of wear on the teeth.

I haven't had a strike yet. Was it instantly noticeable? Did you hear the round hit it or did the can get a noticeably louder? .... or just saw it later ?

Well, in that case, I suppose I'll see my strike later too
Great to know they don't leave you hanging or bust your head if you have a strike and the can isn't completely fubar. I have a M42K and it fits somewhat loose at the last click, but no strikes and I have used it enough for it to have very little finish left. It was my first centerfire can.

My 18T 762SD had a strike on a M1A Scout. Ran 20 rounds without the can and 20 with and set it down for a bit to let the kids shoot., When I went to to pick it up I saw the muzzle of the can was slightly pressed out, just enough of a strike in the opening to give a pimple apprearance on the muzzle. Contacted AAC and they asked for pics and promptly sent a call tag. I only got 1 sticker though with my fancy thank you card.  They put a new muzzle cap and replaced the latch spring etc. Im fairly confident there was no internal damage at the time but didnt see the point in blowing out the end of my can on a hunch.
