All I want for Xmas…is a lighter (and possibly 1” shorter) AAC Cyclone via a new core upgrade program…but I’m told it simply isn’t possible due to the thin tube on the original…
Curious if anyone else has found a solution to the can’s weight… Dh |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By towerofpower94: Don’t be tempted. Do it! I don’t actually have any issues with either the 51T system or the suppressor itself; I just don’t use it as much as the YHM Phantom ULT or the Resonator because it’s noticeably heavier and more unwieldy. If I get it done it’ll probably continue to live on the 51T hosts with the proper adapter. |

With the sale I might just do this, so let me see if I've got this correct. I have an old SDN-6 and several hosts with 51t mounts. There are 3 options for me:
get the upgrade and a STAMP, which means the upgraded can with the STAMP will be qd with my current mounts, but be the longest and heaviest of the three options; get the upgrade and the direct thread adapter, which will be lighter, shorter, and cheaper, but will require removal of my 51 t mounts, and I will lose the qd ability; and just get the upgrade, in which case I have to remove my 51t devices and replace them with some flavor of new "industry standard" muzzle devices, which will be about the same length and weight as the setup with the direct thread adapter, and will have the qd function. is that about correct? Or is it possible to just have it direct threaded during the upgrade for the shortest, lightest, least expensive option, but that also means basically a dedicated, leave on one gun all the time can? |

But AAC isn't offering you any "free" Stamp mount, which cost about $250 a pop, depending on how many you need for attaching on 51t FHs or MBs. So in my case, to get the benefits of a "short/lighter" suppressed set-up than using Stamp mounts would yield, I'll need at least 4 adapters to install on my 30-cal rifles in order to run my 762-SDN-6 - that's the "free" one, plus 3 more to buy at $120 a pop. |

Perhaps I am not understand either...if you have two cans (M4-2K and SDN-6), you only need two STAMP mounts (one for each suppressor). The cans will then fit all of your existing 51T muzzle devices.

I'm looking to change my 762-SDN into a Ranger 7. What do I need to tell them to be able to use a Silencerco Bravo mount? I have the ASR flash hider on most of my rifles. The 51T mount is only on some old uppers and want to use just one standard. |

The Black Friday deal hooked me so I’ll be sending my SDN-6 in for the restomod. Really looking forward to the improved characteristics.
Found the STAMP mount on sale a little while ago so I’m ready on that front too. Old AAC was so happy to make 51T mounts in weird thread pitches that I haven’t seen any of the other players mess with yet.

Old AAC was so happy to make 51T mounts in weird thread pitches that I haven’t seen any of the other players mess with yet. Dead Air has I think just about everything that AAC used to put out covered - 9/16x24 LH (FAL) and RH, m13x1, 14x1 and 15x1 (LH, though I don't know if the 15x1 is LH as well), 1/2x28 in normal and SCAR flavors, 5/8x24 in normal and SCAR flavors...I think the only thing they're not making is one in the native M1A/M14 threads I think, which AAH used to make apparently. Of course if you're not into KeyMo then that's probably of no real help to you, and it doesn't look like they're doing near that many thread pitches in Xeno yet... |

For some reason I was under the impression it was $600 per upgrade.
It is $700 per upgrade less the 25% = $525. Add either a STAMP mount or a Dead Air setup to keep me from accidentally putting a 5.56 on a 308 - not sure if the money works. |

No need for a special tool with their new direct thread mount. I also can't remember if the STAMP came with any specialty tools or I'm just using ones that came with my Saker 556K. I have all my suppressor wrenches and whatnot in a bag near the bench. I also have a bag with my SiCo pistons, Bravo and Charlie direct thread adapters, etc near the bench. As I have many cans from different companies that use the same mount and piston interfaces, I don't need to keep all the accessories and tools segregated for a specific can. I just grab one of the goofy shaped multitool/wrench things and keep trying different cutouts and prongy bits until I find the thing that helps me tighten or loosen the thing I'm trying to tighten or loosen

I know I'll lose some dB with the shorter can, but it will be nice to have it as an option. https://silencerco.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/asr-mount-bravo-optimized.jpg I believe you'll have to have that modified, unless the "Mini" conversion doesn't include the raised taper ring just forward of the threads. |

I just saw your thread with the Griffin mount. I sent an email to AAC to see if they can confirm whether or not there is a fit issue with the Silencerco Bravo. The last thing I want to do is to take a Dremel to it and do a Mickey Mouse job on it. Figures it happens right after I buy some mounts in Silencerco's Black Friday sale. |

I agree, I could probably find a way to do an OK job, maybe, but for this I want it to be done right the first time. It is going to be $50 plus shipping both ways, so basically just under the cost of another muzzle device. |

You have to remove the lip from in front of the threads for the Bravo mount. I may just wait and see what I want to do. Because I don't want to pay almost the price of a new suppressor on this. |

It’ll be louder obviously but gives me a nice compact K can that I don’t have. I have a phantom and a resonator that work great for full size .30 cans, the SDN-6 has been sitting in the safe unused for a while. |

I was all wound up about the mounting options, but seeing this put it in perspective for me. I'm not worried about back pressure, and one inch and three ounces aren't worth it to me. the mini would be if it had similar performance, but I gather it would be noticeably louder. |

I weighed my two 762-SDN-6 to see if there was a difference. One weighed in at 21.5 oz. and the other was 20.4 oz. The one that weighed more was the one I shoot a lot more. |

Sent my old 762SD in for R7 upgrade. I rarely use it due to the length so I'm looking forward to getting it back in a more compact form.
Curious to compare it to my SDN6. |

How much length does the stamp add to the length of a ranger 5 vs the DT mount? I thought it was covered but can't find it. Thanks
ETA: better question would be what is the over all length of a Ranger 5 with stamp mount ? |

51T Stamp mount is 1.77″. I'm sure someone can confirm how much it adds in length.
