| I am on what seems to be an endless search for a 556 can to go on a 10.3" & maybe 18". Started looking at the G5-T and looks like it has been out a few years but no solid or minimally informative reviews. Anyone know about the construction and preformance? |
|
I have a gemtech trek and love it. Runs great. I'd love to have a G5-T.
They make good stuff, I can't complain. I saw all their new stuff at shot show this year and it was pretty impressive. Did you look at the 556LE? That's their new model and looks pretty sweet too. But you really can't go wrong and you are going to love how light weight it is, it's scary light. |

GoLoud & Alabama I have a Saker 762 that went pending on paper in May and I planned to use that for Blackout, 308 and 556 at first. I did have the thought that the Saker 762 will do what any other dedicated 556 can would do DB wise but weight is the diffrence. I saw no point in getting a Saker 556 or Specwar 556 as the Saker 762 will perform just as the Saker 556 and The Specwar seemed to have the better DB preformance but was going to be longer and heavier which seemed counter productive. I started looking at the Gemtech G5-T and on paper it seems to surpress quite well and the weight is also light but did not see much info on quality control or preformance review. I even considered the direct thread Trek-T and newer Extreme Duty LE. I do not mind spending in the NFA game but I want what I pay for and I do not see much on Gemtech as far as their centerfire cans go and what I have found was mostly related to their G5 and its quality issue which seemed to have been addressed.

Same as you guys, Saker 7.62 in jail, and from all reports (see what I did there) it's quiet with 5.56.
But I'm interested in how it will feel on the end of my MK18 10.3". It's not a light can, and the OAL will brush up to 18". So we shall see. If I remember correctly, there was a heated debate a few weeks ago about the use of titanium alloys in centerfire cans. I believe the G5T was discussed and PHD from Gemtech participated. I'll go look. EDIT: Disregard. The thread is too annoying to suggest you read it. And light on the tech info. |

I'm rather new to the game, and like you, wanting to learn as much as possible. I'll be interested to see what further commentary comes from this thread. I have a SKR762 in jail also, as well as a Spectre II, and trying to decide between a 45 or 9mm can for a 9mm build. My thought process, at this point, is to get the most versatile can possible unless one has a specific need that can't otherwise be fulfilled... Quoted:

I was on that same 45 vs 9 can thought process and have came down to either the Octane 9 or Tirant 9. Will likely grab the Octane 9 as it breaks down serviceable and can shoot 22LR out it if I ever get into that. I would host it on my M&P and maybe down the line a 9MM SBR. I have a Colt 1911 because well MERICA!!! but do not see nor feel the need to get into 45ACP so that eliminated the 45 can need. |

Do you notice what some claim as far as Titanium cans shooting sparks which i was a bit thrown off on or may not be understanding completely as I awesomed on short SBR's and short cans some kind of flash would occur? Great looking SBR |

Most of the current 5.56 cans have similar performance. That is, one is not going to blow the others out of the water. A G5, an M42K, a Saker and a current YHM will be closer than anyone likes to admit. The difference is in features and mounts. I have a G5 that I use on 5.56, but I mainly bought it for use on a PS90. Its overkill for 5.7 and its a heavy can, but I think the Gemtech bi lock is the best mount solution for the PS90. Having said that... Sakers have the best mounts, IMHO. Better than Surefires even, but thats just what I think. Speaking of Surefires, they are great as well, but they arent quieter than the competition. AAC cans have the most plentiful mounts and great market saturation. In the NFA world, this is important, IMHO. YHM's are usually more cost effective. The Gemtech G5T is a good can, and the mount is very good. The Gemtech doesnt really excel at anything, but it doesnt really fall behind anywhere either. Ive seen on other boards where people say that the M42k is quieter than the G5's, but that has not been my experience and I own both of them now. I really think there is a lot of Koolaid in the suppressor world. The fact is that 5.56 is loud as fuck, and a silencer can only do so much. Ive honestly gotten to the point where I feel that whatever manufacturer has the best mount will have the best can for my needs. |

I originally bought a G5 and HVT. After the titanium cans were released I picked up a Quicksand and G5-T. They are a lot lighter and suppress better. I like that they all use the same mounts, and the bi-lock is by far my favorite mount type offered on the market.
I have 10.5, 11.5, 16 and 18 in 5.56. The G5 I have is the older, heavier model. Once I picked up the G5-T, the G5 only saw use on the 10.5 and 11.5. The G5-T pretty much lives on the SPR 18". Balance is great and even better on the 10.5 and 11.5. Both the G5 and G5-T have been used in full auto and rapid successive semi auto. Haven't seen any signs of appreciable wear. G5 is around 15k fired and the G5-T is around 5k (80/20 semi/full auto) |

For one person its a couple bursts, for another its a dozen 100rd beta mags lines up on a tabled fired back to back while holding the rifle with oven mittens. Plus ever titanium suppressor is different, the wall thickness can vary, grade of metal, welds, baffles design or materials, etc...so to general and say that ALL titanium suppressors are not rated for Full Auto is rather ignorant. At the end of the day I trust what the manufacturer tells me, not the random person on a internet forum proclaiming to be a expert in suppressor design and metallurgy. Having spoke with a Gemtech sales rep i was told that their Trek-T suppressor was designed, tested and rated for Full Auto but should be allowed to cool in between mags. Their new GMT series of titanium suppressors are however rated for PROLONGED Full Auto fire, meaning its good for consecutive mag dumps, belt fed weapons, etc... I originally planned to get the Trek-T but as i have plans for a m16 in the future i decided to go with the GMT-556LE instead. http://www.gem-tech.com/store/pc/GMT-556LE-p978.htm |

Thanks, Sent from my iPhone Subject: RE: Trek-T vs GMT Extreme Duty To: NikolaFermi Date: Thursday, July 10, 2014, 1:30 PM The outside is the same as the Trek-T & G5-T, but the inner material & cores are a different design and thickness - once fully constructed and welded it adds 2 oz. of weight to the same length and tube diameter suppressor. They are all tested to the SOCOM standard, Full Auto rated, and are both extremely durable suppressors Thanks!

I originally planned to get the Trek-T but as i have plans for a m16 in the future i decided to go with the GMT-556LE instead. At issue with the 5.56 doing beta mag dumps is one of ammunition. After somewhere between 120 and 150 rounds full auto, the barrel is hot enough that the bullet core starts to melt and the bullet destabilizes. The only way a 5.56mm can of any material will hold up to abusive firing schedules is if the bore aperture is opened up to .340" or larger, and then reduction suffers. The bullet issue is not present in other calibers, and in the 5.56 it is due to the small mass of lead in the core and the large surface area of copper, which conducts heat rapidly. For those who asked, the G5-T and TREK-T use the same baffle stack. In the suppressor classes I teach, when we go to the range, we do sound measurements on a G5, an AAC M4-2000, a KAC M4-QD and a Surefire FA556K. All have similar sound levels with the SF being only slightly louder than the others. |

I thought I'd read that no 5.56 can is going to be hearing safe. I run a Trek-T on a 10.5" 5.56mm rifle, and I get a very slight ringing in my ears if I fire it (even once) in an open area outdoors without hearing protection. I'm not an audiologist, but I don't consider it hearing safe for routine and repeated use based on that experience. It's an acceptable sound level if I have to fire it without hearing protection, and it will certainly mean the difference between significant and permanent hearing damage versus minimal hearing damage. ETA: To be clear, I am not in any way criticizing Gemtech or the Trek-T. I simply do not think that getting a truly "hearing safe" 5.56mm rifle is realistic. |

On a 16" barrel it sounds like a .22 lr being shot out of a pistol unsuppressed, and with a 10.5" its louder than that. it might technically be hearing safe but for a lot of people including myself its still a bit uncomfortable to shoot a lot high volume of shots. |

ETA: To be clear, I am not in any way criticizing Gemtech or the Trek-T. I simply do not think that getting a truly "hearing safe" 5.56mm rifle is realistic. By "hearing safe," what is meant is the requirement in both MIL-STD 1474D and OSHA regulations that state that peak sound levels over 140 dB mandate hearing protection. We measure at the industry standard of 1 meter to the side of the muzzle. Our experience has been that at the general (and somewhat ill-defined) location of the "shooter's ear," the sound level is generally 3-4 dB lower than it is at the reference location of 1 meter left of the muzzle. All of our suppressors reduce the sound to the point where the sound pressure level at the reference location is lower than 140 dB with all warranted barrel lengths. With most of our .223 suppressors, this is in the vicinity of 135-137 dB, depending on the barrel length. Please remember that the bullet flight noise ballistic crack) for the .223 is around 148 dB, but this is a shock wave being generated down range and what we hear is reflected back toward the shooter. When you consider the attenuation due to the inverse square law, the ballistic crack is almost never an issue for hearing damage to the shooter. Hope this helps. |

| The new AAC Ranger 3 looks like a nice option for a thread on 5.56 can. I haven't seen any numbers or videos on its suppression capability, but the size is fairly compact and lighter at 13.8 oz. Not as light as some titanium cans, but considerably lighter than Saker 5.56, Specwar or M42K. |

Started looking at the G5-T and looks like it has been out a few years but no solid or minimally informative reviews. Anyone know about the construction and preformance? Pulled the trigger on a Gemtech GMT-556QM Nice, you'll love it!!! Joey |
