Anyone know what the minimum barrel length is?

Edit:

http://www.deadairsilencers.com/products.html

The products page doesn't show any minimum. Was trying to decide between this and a Saker K 556 for 7.5/10.5/16in 5.56mm rifles.

I didn't ask when I met mike at shot show range day but I would imagine 7.5 would be fine.  Should be all stellite baffles like saker with  a stainless tube and a better mount.  He said 5.56 endcap would be available some time after the launch.

I sent them an email. We will see if I get a reply.

*Edit* Keep in mind...I just asked about barrel lengths in general


Thanks for the email and interest in our products.

On 5.56 and BLK we'll go down to 7.5". 308 is little more pressure, so that'll be longer. 12.5" should cover the average extreme shortest barrel for that caliber. 300 WM should be good to 18".

Bottom line is we'll cover pretty much anything. Even if you go shorter than recommended length and something were to happen, we'll figure out a solution and make sure you're happy with the outcome.

Hope that helps and let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.

Thanks again,
Cade

Cade was busy last night. I got the same email. Nice to get a quick reply. I figured these ratings were the case but it's nice to hear it straight from the source.

Glad to see this. My buddy is building a 12.5" mega .308 and wants a sandma-s pretty bad

Ordered mine this morning. Will be my first centerfire can. I hope I made a good decision. Looks like a quality product backed by some good industry guys.

As a note, I just bought a Sandman-S and was told that the 1/2-28 QD mounts are currently not available -- but should be by the time the Form 4 is approved.

Good info. They've got some time to get that squared away.

SS also announced on FB that the Sandman will be coming with a Simpson high heat pouch for removal and transportation of a hot can.

The one thing about the Sandman looking at them, it makes me think of the Kestrels from HTA with the fluting on them that seems to be weak points on the Kestrels.  Could that be an issue with these?

Exactly.  Those are very shallow flats that are cut into pretty thick material.  The flutes that HTA does are much deeper and narrow and localize stress much more.  The Sandman also has a welded core underneath that tube.
