Good to hear they are taking care of you. I just ordered a 556 Saker today which will be my 5th SiCo can.

Nope, I have a Saker brake for a 5.56 and it didn't come with shims.  I don' think they include shims with their brakes for whatever odd reason.  It's the only issue I have ever had with SilencerCo, seems like it would be normal to include shims with a muzzle brake.

I didn't get shims w/ my Saker FH's but I did get them with my Saker brakes...funny thing is I didn't even notice that it was in the packaging and my buddy told me about it and dug it out of my trash can.

They don't come with the flash hiders as there is no need to time it, though I'm going to time mine so that my brake and flash hider's back notches are in the same place (Me = OCD).

Supposedly they ARE shipping shims with the brakes now.

Don't think so. Did you guys get wrenches?

Damn...I got no wrenches or mitt. And I ordered 3 suppressors at the same time from Silencershop.

Just email SiCo.  You'll need the wrenches at the very least.  I emailed, and supposedly, the shim kit is on the way...

I'd take that up with SS, not SiCo. The wrenches should be in the box. The mitt would've been an SS add-on, not anything from SiCo.

I'll talk to my dealer first and then go to silencershop if he doesn't know anything.

Reading is fundamental...I got the fladh hider with my Saker556 so that's why the lack of shims. But I'm looking at the 762, does it only come with a brake? Aren't the mounts interchangeable between the two?

The 762 comes with a brake. The 556 and 762 mounts are the same except for the threads.

And I think I've read where Silencer Shop will swap your brake for a FH if you order the Saker 7.62 from them. Not sure if SiCo will do that, or how many other dealers will.

I just thought that it was kind of odd that you don't have the option to order a FH with the 762 from SS.
