| Can someone explain to me what the big deal is about this can over the specwar? Its over 200 bucks more expensive and only 4 ounces lighter. Sure its got the interchangeable mount but 95% of the guns out there use 1/2 or 5/8 thread which their mounts are nicer than any other qd mount on the market. Why would you saddle a nice can with the shitty mounts of other manufacturers? Surefire would be the only one I can see being worth it and they dont make surefire adapters. |

Nope, "(available on Saker556 model only)" The big deal over the Specwar is 1. No external teeth on the mount. While the silencer is off, the saker mount can not be damaged (relative to the ASR/Specwar mount) 2. The Saker mount like the surefire mounts lock up as tight as possible. They both appear to use a backwards force to lock the can in with indexing tabs on the mount only provided for indexing. The Specware uses the teeth as the lock surface, it's the difference in locking rotationally vs locking backwards, I think backwards is the better option as seen on the latest generation of cans. 3. 4oz on the can, unknown delta on the mounts themselves. Most mounts are approx 4oz themselves 4. It's all about commonality. The Saker series allows for thread mount options, and Silencerco says they plan on 51T, YHM, and Surefire adapters. That is, you can buy all SWR/AAC/YHM/SF and also a Saker and use the non-saker mount, negating a couple of advantages above. Likewise if you have a Saker556 and want to use the Saker mount, a Specwar makes no sense. 5. Uses the Saker style end caps on the muzzle end |

I forgot about the direct thread mount and also didnt notice its only 7.5". I believe this might be the can for my 12.5" 6.8SPC SBR. This would be the perfect can for someone who was only going to have one can although I dont know very many people who were able to stop at one.

I really would like to, but I'm in the middle of a couple other builds too. I'm going to be broke for the next three years. |
| Looks pretty cool. I had been waiting for this to come out so I could make my 7.62 can purchase. That being said I think I'm going to go with the Thunderbeast 30BAS. Street price will be the same and it's quieter and shorter. Sure it won't handle multiple mag dumps but that won't be a problem for me. |
|
Ditto, started with a 5.56 saker last year (got it last month) a sparrow sitting in jail and eyeing the 7.62 Saker or Harvester to round out the family before the June NFA changes.
I really like the future-proofing of the MAAD Mount. Who knows what will come out next year, 5 years from now etc. |
|
Quoted:
I'm kinda glad I went ahead with the Specwar. I have no use for the MAAD mount so it makes more sense for me. Same here. I really have no use for multiple hider/brake mounts. I've been buying cans now for future builds, so I won't be moving them around too much. Plus I really like the plain smooth look of the specwars. |
| I bought a Sparrow this last August and was going to buy an ACC 762SDN-6, but after hearing my concerns about wobbly mount issues, my dealer suggested I wait till SHOT because "I think Silencerco is going to release their 762Saker", he was right on the money =-) |

So, at 20.7oz what does this offer that I can't get elsewhere (mount system I'd think)? I was really hoping for a little less weight or significantly shorter length or something. I think this is showing that we are at the end of a cycle of innovation in this technology and there isn't really going to be anything earth-shattering happening moving forward in the silencer world.
I'd love to see some independant testing of this moving forward, but I've gotta get a can in the system just in case 41P goes forward. I am heavily invested in YHM mounts, so this was the only other option I was waiting for other than the LT or Ti LT. I hate feeling like I am in a rush with something I'll ostensibly own for the rest of my life. |

I really like Silencerco as a company, I have been very pleased with their customer service. I think I am going to stick with the SpecWar 762. I am glad they are making the Saker in 762 for people that are invested in multiple mounts, but I am not one of those.
I would be really interested to see side-by-side testing. From the data it looks like the SpecWar is 2db quieter on 308, but there wasn't enough listed to say for sure. |

My impression from their data sheet on the website is .308 for the 762 Saker.
Don't get me wrong - I wasn't "expecting" anything spectacular, I was just using this to illustrate that there isn't much more to do with silencer technology until we get into things like destructive interference or something similar. If you look at almost all the modern designs, they are within a few decibels of each other, which is well within the human ear's ability to discern a difference at 120dB+. Honestly, if I can find one so I could get Form 4 e-file on the books before 41P is scheduled to have activity on it (June/July?) I think I would go with a Saker. I really like Josh et. al. and I LOVE my 45Osprey. I guess I am impressed by this offering, but not awestruck? Yeah, that's what I'm trying to say. |

The mounting system is pretty impressive. I ordered the 556 can and am considering getting the 762 one also. I have the SDN6 in jail now but I would rather have the Saker.
Being able to change out the end cap is pretty cool too. You wouldn't have to send in your can if you mess it up with a baffle strike. You can also put a 556 end cap on the 762 can when shooting it out of a 556 that is supposed to cut down on gasses and make it a little quieter. $925 is what I was told |

Maybe not an endcap strike, but definitely for a baffle strike. |

I am expecting SCo to be shipping them to distributors in about a month. I will know for sure during the AcuSport show this week. Damn I hope I can wait! As long as it can beat the trust rule change, I'll be happy.
Any idea of the barrel length rating for 556 SBRs? |

Any idea of the barrel length rating for 556 SBRs? I would imagine 10.5 with it not having the hoplon baffles. I believe it have the same material as the specwar so what ever it it rated to Eta: when are the changes suppose to happen? |

...before 41P is scheduled to have activity on it (June/July?) ...before 41P is scheduled to have activity on it (June/July?) Eta: when are the changes suppose to happen? This summer. It's been noted by the American Silencer Association that it will likely be at least a year before 41P can reasonably go into effect, if it does at all. Why you ask? Because by law the ATF must generate a reply to all qualified comments (of which there were approximately 8,500) posted during the comment period and it's been estimated that it will take at least a year to do so. See this post: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_6_17/415811_EDIT___Something_interesting_RE_41p__previously___Anything_interesting_from_the_SHOT_show_.html&page=1#i3922410 |

Have any dealers had their Form 3's approved yet? I see Silencer Shop doesn't have it listed on their site, and West Fork Armory has it listed as backorderable. So I'm guessing not?
I'm waiting for M3 to get their form 3 approved, so they can then send it to my dealer on a form 3, and then I get to wait for an E-file form 4. I'm figuring probably close to a year, if I'm lucky. So 41p may or may not make life interesting. I guess that depends on whether or not it happens THIS summer, or next spring. I've already paid for it, with the MAAD mount, $1020 plus sales tax, so not too bad, from what I've been seeing. From what I've seen on here, there's some doubt as to whether Major Malfunction actually does E-file their Form 3's, so it could ba another month, could be longer. At least I've got my Sparrow currently in Jail, as the dealer had one left in stock. |
