Say the aperture on your .22 can is .27... you've shot it so much that the blast baffle is paper thin and the aperture is now something extreme like .35.

I'm guessing this isn't even a legitimate concern based on the thought process of service life and "you spent $10k on ammo, buy a new $600 can". Which I generally agree with that sentiment.

Surely someone around here has shot a suppressor out, along with a barrel or 2 along the way. At what point did they call it quits and decide the can is done and rebuild the baffle stack or have to destroy the item? What criteria did they use to determine it was at the end of its service life?

What I'm asking is how do you know it's worn out?

E.g. so far with my M4SD, it has about 2,500 rounds through it (99% SA, 200rds FA) . It appears to have zero erosion, but a good bit of junk caked on the inside. I can knock the junk off by gently scraping with a tool. A lot of it is soluble with CLP or motor oil. Even then, the layer of crud is nothing. It still sounds great. Obviously this can is still good to go and has thousands of rounds left in its service life.

Maybe @green0 can chime in and divulge the expected round count? Or how eroded the baffles can get before they'd no longer consider it safe to shoot?

I think you would need to severely erode more than one baffle before you notice a significant change in performance, but I am not an expert by any means.

Logical. I'm kind of a numbers guy. Maybe one can judge it to some degree if their group sizes open up.

That or a change in POI shift, but just as with a can 'filling up' and eventually getting louder, the change would be gradual and imperceptible.

Since over bored suppressors work OK on 556, a worn out 556 suppressor is most likely due to a mount wearing out, a baffle strike, or a tube failure due to corrosion or a 'oh shit' event.

One way to justify a new suppressor is that having one in the pipeline that covers capability should an 'oh shit' happen.

Updated Griffin Optimus numbers.

About 2.5k 9mm via pistol
About 500 5.56 from a 10.5" in long configuration with a taper mount comp
About 1,448 5.56 from a 10.5" in mid configuration with micro 3 prong flash hider taper mount.
About 100 6.5 creedmoor
150 7.62x51 from 18" with paladin taper mount mid configuration

Rifle blast baffle pretty worn down, any further wear and I can not remove it with the push rod... without replacement of this part I have to decide either 9mm can or rifle can.







This is the part that concerned me the most. At some point the first baffle (after the rifle baffle) started to deform, I don't think this was a baffle strike as I never heard anything strange... but know knows.

What worries me about this is it got caught on the push rod ever so slightely and I actually had to hammer the push rod out... so it looks like no more shooting 9mm until I either drill it or get it repaired. I need this for a course in Feb so I will most likely just keep as is until after that. Would take better pics but first end cap is stuck on pretty good.

I doubt that peeled over second baffle is flame erosion. My guess is under mag dumps you had a projectile melt and go off course in the can.

The blast baffle shows wear consistent with 3-prong FH use on your 10.5.  Rate of fire/duty cycle is a big factor in thermal metal fatigue and flame erosion.

You might want to consider a can with inconel or stellite internals, or switch to a muzzle brake mount on the shorties for some sacrificial blast baffle effect and more even gas jetting into the blast baffle.

Griffin should be able to turn that around before your class. I'd get an RA going on that, signature required and full insurance in both shipment directions.

The red portion must be positively BRUTAL, wow.  My two year old Optimus still looks new, but it really only gets used on a PS90 SBR.  That wear is absolutely incredible, I'm guessing a lot of rapid shooting was involved.  Cans, like barrels, are wear items, and it looks like you are enjoying the shit out of yours

The paladin brake would be optimal for this

I switched from a FH to a brake on my 10.5" that I use my Sig 556ti-qd on. Between when I bought the can and actually received my form 4, Sig started recommending minimum 16" barrel for the ti model

I'd also agree about the 2nd baffle. With the amount of wear for the round count I'm guessing things got hot enough to melt some lead

Eta: I noticed the difference between the last pics and these pics is 448 rounds. To get that much additional wear in under 500 rounds you must have had that thing smokin'

I did get the can pretty hot. Maybe 20-30 minutes to fire 448 rounds. But the day started out with some creedmoor. The days prior were mostly 9mm, Creedmoor and a touch of 5.56. There is also some 7.62x39 in there which is probably the main source of the carbon buildup aside from the 9mm.

We know of one user who on video ran 500rds in 5 minutes on a 10.5 5.56 gun, and hes still running his today (years later).

Obviously the harder you push cans the shorter life will be, but we havent had any users wear them out.  It makes more sense to use the product like you would normally use the rifle without the can.

There are several (known to us) swat teams and a foreign military customer for the product currently, and we sell most probably (~95%) of cans through dealer and distributor customers so thats all Im aware of.

Thanks for the input. Sounds like it will outlast me. Well, maybe not. Probably 10-15 years at my rate. When I got to play with it on a MG the other day I remembered the booklet saying 2 mag dumps then SA, so for fun's sake it would get 2 mags then about 10 minutes rest.

Should I expect better service life from the m4sdII? One of these days I'll actually get one on order...

I got the paperwork for the Optimus repair. Not too expensive per baffle, can't recall off the top of my head but the rifle baffle is more than the 9mm, just under. The shipping will cost more probably.

I gotta say I'm pretty happy with it.  I've been using only flash hiders because muzzle brakes are too obnoxious when shooting unsuppressed.  Also, even though most of the rounds are from 10.5" barrels, I've also used it on my 8.5" 5.45 Krink and my 8.75" B&T APC223.  Fingers crossed it continues to hold up in the future...

NFA process throws a huge wrench in that.   Doesn't matter if you have the cash for another $600 can if you don't have a stable address due to work, or the FBI has you on their fuck-your-background-check list, or ATF isn't processing, etc.

Considered like that, wanting something with a long service life is reasonable.  Get a poor match of materials and design for your intended purpose and you can wreck a can with $150 in ammo instead of $10k.   Use one as intended and they should outlast you.

Sure, they can rebuild them with the appropriate materials, skills, and equipment.   And currently you may have them rebuilt by someone who has those things.

But if you lack the former and no longer have permission to do the latter, you're sort of hosed.

Open tine flash hiders focus the erosion, so just use a closed tine hider instead.

This.  It’s erosion of the metal baffles caused by blast damage.  About the only way to stop or reduce it is to use a muzzle device that acts as a sacrificial baffle.

Not a picture, but a short video.

Just because it's cool, this is a ~5.5" x 1.75" prototype CGS silencer which was 3D printed (DMSLS) out of 718 Inconel. This silencer has had 600rds of continuous full auto 5.56 ran through it on an M249, and has had around 2,000rds of 5.56 through it on a 10.5” AR15 and around 1,000rds of 5.56 through it on a 16” AR15, along with other misc round counts on other hosts.

Thats a cast stellite baffle so the final EDM should create a path true to the centerline.  On the Omega the front cap exit aperture is bigger than the final baffle cone ID so when I see any concentricity issues with a gauge rod on the front cap I always remove it and look to see where the rod passes that last baffle.  The Omega is fairly tightly bored for a .30 can, approx. 0.360" at the last baffle IIRC.

Looking at those two round casting marks as reference points, one side is clearly thinner and one side is clearly thicker than the other....that’s not the angle or a camera trick.  Even if it’s EDM’d to true center, something doesn’t seem right.  I don’t know enough about the entire production process but the thinner side will definitely wear faster (something stellite is resistant but not immune to).

OP’s Omega blast baffle in the thread below doesn’t look remotely like the BH Faux-mega in this one. The other baffles though

Wear will definitely not be a concern, if anything it will go on a 16 or 18 inch Grendel or creedmoor barrel.  I run brakes on most things too.
