Apologize if this has already been asked, but didn’t see it. Will the plan b work on the standard harvester, or big bore only? Anybody have first hand knowledge? Thanks

Got myself a plan b from Silencershop, I need Cherry bombs now though.
Anybody have any suggestions on using them on lightweight barrels? I think q recommends a .720 shoulder  I have a faxon Gunner and BCM elw that I want to put them on. Is there an adaptor solution or do I need to look into having them tapered? |

ETA: From left to right:
1) DD MK18 10.3 upper. 2) Noveske/VLTOR MUR 8.5 BLK upper. 3) Noveske 10.5 NSR MLOK upper. The Cherry Bomb is also going on my Sig Virtus and possibly Rattler when they are out of jail. Not sure I want a brake on the Rattler. The Sig barrels are already tappered for the Cherry Bomb.

I just tried putting a cherry bomb on a bcm 300blk barrel and the shoulder just doesn’t seem big enough to me. There is very little material it actually seats on. Like thickness of a hair. I honestly think it would be ok but I’d rather not risk it. Seems to me that the shoulder on the bcm doesn’t go back far enough to machine the taper onto it either unfortunately but I’m not an expert and maybe it could be done.
I ended up buying a different barrel that is thicker and am gonna have it machined just to do it right. Tried a cherry bomb on a few 5.56 barrels and it has plenty of shoulder on all of them. |

I currently have an SBR with a Ballistic Advantage 11.3 Hanson barrel. I measured the barrel shoulder at the muzzle device and it is .62. Is there any way that a cherry bomb would work on this shoulder? I would love to use the cherry bomb and the plan B ln this rifle. If the barrel shoulder is too small would it work to put a .80 washer between the shoulder and the cherry bomb? (I know, its tolerance stacking, but I would really like to find a way to make it work). Thanks in advance for your input
There is the question I asked. Here is the response. The shoulder is too small but let the shoulder run into the taper or use the spacer. I would definitely run a rod down the bore to make sure it is concentric before shooting. If you have any other questions please let us know. I guess I am a little confused. So it will work or it won't? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I take that to mean that the corner of the barrel shoulder will index inside the female taper of the Cherry Bomb. This is less than ideal both for maintaining torque with the mating surfaces, and for coaxial alignment. It could work for alignment, thus the advice to use a gauge rod through the mount and can. If it aligns then Rockset or high temp thread locker can maintain torque. Rockset being preferred for the heat that an 11.3" dumps unless it's just .300BO subs. If a spacer works that's a better mechanical mating surface arrangement but you want a thick enough spacer to act well as a partially supported thrust washer because of the funnel on one side and the overhang past the shoulder. What is a thrust washer? |

[#21]
That over stop washer looks beefy enough.
A thrust washer transfers load from one part to another. Shims can act as a thrust washer or bushing if they are adequately supported or mated on both bearing surfaces. It seems pretty obvious, but I've seen people deform a shim stack with similar mismatches on muzzle devices. |

Posted: 10/23/2018 5:41:55 PM EDT

That overtravel stop and shim set also are pretty cost effective. I'll probably try that when I get around to swapping my mounts.

Is there saker plan b version available yet and if so where? I found a few sites with some inventory but i don't think it was the saker version.
I'm mostly interested in shortening the suppressor and and the weight reduction at the end of the gun will be nice to. L |

I've been using MAAD since it came out, I've had and seen a few failures and a handful of stuck mounts. The Cherry Bomb is the perfect mount as far as I can tell. The only possible negative is the fact that there's no accessible wrench flats when the can is mounted. Only reason you would need those is if the mount got stuck inside the can, which hasn't been an issue for me. The can has never been tighter than it was when I put it on, stays very consistent. |

Y'all need to be more specific when you talk about these issues. There's no such thing as just a "MAAD mount". All the adapters the first Saker used were called MAAD mounts. I've never had any issues with my Y-mount MAAD mount. I don't believe I've heard of any with the 51T MAAD Mount. And I'm pretty sure nobody has launched a can equipped with the Direct Thread MAAD mount. I'm assuming you're talking about the Trifecta MAAD Mount, but rarely does anybody specify.
You could even use "Saker Trifecta" mount and it would narrow it down...but MAAD = Multiple Accessory Attachment Device. Heck, there's even an ASR MAAD Mount, so telling people to swap from MAAD to ASR makes zero sense.
