Other than guys loading cast subs for 300 Blk, what's the purpose of a silencer that can be taken apart? Seems like unnecessary engineering.
What am I missing here? |

I think you may have nailed it with the cast subs. However, you can just run some high pressure rounds through it and clean it right out. I asked YHM about shooting 22lr through my SS 7.62QD and they said do what ever you want, if it clears the bore they will warranty it. He did say that if you run a lot of 22lr through it he would recommend about 2-3 hardcore 30 round mag dumps to clean it out.

| While generally not a required feature it has two advantages, one is obviously the ability to clean the suppressor if you are shooting subsonic cast lead bullets, and you cannot shoot a suppressor clean either. Doing so is dangerous and can lead to baffle strikes. The second is the ability of the suppressor to be upgraded in the future. Sealed up suppressors like 95% of most rifle suppressors are not upgradable and all baffles eventually wear out from the extreme heat and pressure (the sandblasting effect). |

I personally don't see any value in a take down rifle can. I don't either, other than the ones that are multi-caliber like the MysticX and Cosmic. so again, don't buy one

Your argument is invalid. I am actually considering buying a Cosmic, not because it is serviceable but because it is modular.

Cast subs, as mentioned. Also, even though it would be longer and heavier than needed, the ability to use it on 22LR if you didn't have a dedicated rimfire can.
And not necessarily a user-serviceable issue, but any of the one with interchangeable mounting adapters allow me to have an adapter made so I can use it in YHM muzzle devices. My Omega with a Ti YHM adapter and Ti end cap is light and short. |

I guess none of you guys saying that you don't need to clean them saw the thread about cleaning a M42K, it had a lot of build up in the can. If you shoot FMJ, the base is exposed lead and that is vaporized and deposited along with copper into your can. I've seen it. Sure, the can had a good amount of baked on stuff inside of it. But to what extent does that matter? 1.Is it self-limiting? 2. If it isn't self-limiting, how many rounds would it take before the can gives up a substantial amount of suppression? 50,000 or 500,000? 3. If that's even possible, would the baffles themselves be completely eroded first? In other words, yes, he cleaned it - but did he need to clean it? Chase45 was having issues when switching back and forth between the FH and MB, because they divert gas to different areas and that was knocking chunks of baked on stuff loose. Having that rattle around in the can was an issue, and if I remember right he got a baffle strike from it. That's a far different issue than filling up the can. I haven't seen anyone "fill up" a rifle silencer to the point that it wasn't useful. That doesn't mean it can't be done, and if someone has done it, I would love to see it. |
