Are you guys getting vibes that the company may no longer be in business? The fact that they are owned by Remington should be a big plus for being able to withstand the sales slump that the HPA bill accidentally set into motion.   I also have been seriously thinking about placing an order for the Element 2 through the SS. Hopefully the HPA will pass someday and we can all get past this nonsense.

I find it odd their presence started to pick up- answering questions, the halycon came out. Then they're gone. Just weird. I like being able to hop in here and ask a question about a product I own or just purchased.

Odd, couldn't find them in industry forum, did a search and this thread came up about them being gone.

Thanks Mike - How much DB reduction is achieved with your testing of the Halcyon in the short vs. long configurations and how does it compare to the Element 2?
5/5/2017 11:52:58 PM EDT
[#19]
In the full sized configuration, the Halcyon is essentially an Element 2 performance-wise. The design of the shielded K of the Halcyon started with the Element 2 baffle. We added the shielding spacer, and the alignment design, and that was pretty much it for the baffle design.

In the short configuration on a Ruger 22/45 Mk3 with standard velocity ammo, the Halcyon registers 135-137 dB on our B&K Pulse System when shot dry. With a little light oil in the same setup, the Halcyon will dip down in the high teens to low twenties for a mag or so.

Where the short config really shines is on a 22 rifle with subsonic ammo. On a Ruger 10/22 with subsonic ammo, the Halcyon is in the high teens on the Pulse System. Plenty quiet for backyard plinking. The 3.4" OAL and 4.5 ounce weight disappears on the end of a 22 rifle.

The shielded K's and the tool-less design of the Halcyon make it one of the easiest smallbore cans to take apart for cleaning or configuration change. Cleaning interval is 1,000-2,000 rounds. The shielded K's also provide the hands-down most important aspect of the Halcyon - 5.7 capability!

Nope. Just a comment. The M4-2000 is still one of the very best suppressors ever designed. I own 7 in the 6.8 chambering and a few in 5.56. I beat the living hell out of them and they enjoy it. I understand times and personnel have/are changing, but please don't ignore proven past success ILO the urge to feel revelent with the new crowd.

We have re-rated the Ti-Rant 45 for standard power 44 Mag on a 16" gun (We didn't try anything crazy, like some of the Buffalo Bore stuff).

Light cowboy action loads through a 16" lever gun with a Ti-Rant 45 are just silly quiet.

Bob,

Glad you are satisfied with your M4-2000's. I'll see if we have any more of the 6.8's in stock and let you know.

Although there are a lot of new mounting systems on the market, I believe the 51T fast-attach system is still among the best out there for non-precision rifle applications. Latch issues notwithstanding, the 51T system is fast, intuitive, and does not lend itself to mis-installation (AKA: silencer blown downrange). A 51T silencer can be installed in seconds, with gross motor skills using an intuitive motion.

Time marches on. We listened to customer feedback and designed the 90T Ratchet Taper mount SR-5 and SR-7. They both install with the same fast, intuitive motion, but have the added advantage of the low-angle taper's rock-solid engagement between the flash hider/muzzle brake/brakeout, and the silencer. Truly the best of both worlds.

Every. Single. Time.

Every time a silencer manufacturer's industry forum disappears, people lose their minds.

I wouldn't recommend it for a couple of reasons. First, the Ti-Rant 9S was really designed for lower pressure ammo than 5.7. Second, I imagine it will not sound that great, given the short OAL of the 9S and oversized bore aperture..

I just wanted to publicly thank AAC for working with me on my 18T 762SD.  I got it back the other day and am very happy with it now after having it converted to the 51T mount and new baffle stack.

It seems much quieter now even with supers and I can shoot it without my right ear ring now without earpro.

I have 2 non usable 18t 762 SD's right now. Can't shoot them on anything even 300 BLK subs without it backing off the mount.
I would like to have them upgraded but but don't think it is fair for me to pay $500 to have it done.
The mount design is flawed.

I do have 15 AAC suppressors so I hope they will work with me on this problem.

FYI I have not contacted AAC as of yet so this is not a bash AAC post.

I honestly didn't even think to ask about 90T but I am happy with the 51T as it stands.  I didn't shoot a lot of groups but the 5-shot group I shot was sub-MOA at 100yds with the 9" AAC upper and Remington 120gr OTM load which is plenty accurate to me.  The POI shift was only 1 MOA straight up too I believe.

It has maybe 1-2 degrees of rotation but my M4SDII has more and it is repeatable and accurate too.

ETA: I asked them if they could shorten it to the N6 spec but they said that would be frowned upon if it wasn't the result of damage which I completely understand.  I figured it never hurts to ask and that was the time to ask.  I had it back in under 5 weeks and am very happy with the results.

Today I answered another question from the vendor that is running a quantity of SPR-M4 Blackout Flash Hiders and is getting down to the final inspection steps prior to shipping them our way. So for all those interested in getting additional SPR-M4 flash hiders, there are some in the pipeline.

Since this seems to be the temporary "Industry" page for AAC I've got a question regarding the 5.56 51T Blackout FH in M15X1. Why does that choice in the drop down menu state HK G36C only?
Will these mounts not work on 53's or 93's?
