B&T's Rotex cans have had the A2 mount option for a while. It's pretty slick if you have a lot of firearms you want to swap the can between.

There are a couple of issues with that. Crush washers and A2s aren't necessarily going to have perfect coalignment nor necessarily be a sturdy enough mounting solution to keep the suppressor firmly affixed to the rifle. While it *can* be a sufficient solution, you do have to design the suppressor around the potential issues A2's may present, which likely means making sacrifices somewhere along the line compared to just designing it to work with a muzzle device you can guarantee is properly machined and firmly mounted.

@@KeterMalkuth You don't use crush washers to mount A2 flash hiders acting as suppressor mounts, you use shims just like any other suppressor mount.

There are already hub adapters available for A2 devices. I know that Griffin Armament makes 2 hub adapters that I know of for sure.

They’d be $300-$500 for titanium and superalloy models with stainless versions at $100-$200

I’d like to see Mar-M or Inconel or Monel used. These metals are used in exhaust housings in jet turbines along with inside rocket parts specifically the combustion and post combustion chambers.

The chinese "oil filters" that may or may not be ATF traps are $50. Those would be simple consumables. Anything above would be a premium can.

​@RadDadisRad have you seen the energetic armament vox? It's C300 Maraging nickel cobalt superalloy. Stronger at 1000°F than titanium is at room temperature

I could see prices dropping dramatically even if just the waiting period goes away

PewScience. Ultimately though, the big innovation recently has been making flow through suppressors that perform similarly to traditional baffle cans.

You picked a good time to get into cans approvals are good times

Guy said it's more expensive than the rotax (s/c) suppressor so good luck with lowering the price. Companies have to pay for the equipment cost before the price will ever drop.

>no jokes You sure you're watching the same channel as us? lol

Pretty much anything seems to perform better than the RC3. (I don't have one, but not impressed with the reviews and neither are the non-paid reviewers)

B&T has had suppressors that mount to the A2 flash hider for years.

@@Echo_Charlie I did not know they did was news to me...

@@acgrand2553 Yeah, the Rotex series for sure has a few that mount to the A2 flash hider. Rotex X with the A2 flash hider mount is a good can for like $650 (not the lightest can though at like 24 oz).

@@Echo_Charlie thanks for the info...

Doesn’t Griffin make one that is A2 compatible too? I don’t think hub compatible though

$1350 for titanium and $1k for inconel

@@soda-king 🤔🤔 inconel might be the same price as a RC2 after paperwork & stamp

Yes

Hi so yeah. I am not smort or nothing but each manufacturer has its own mount. I love my rearden stuff for cost and weight savings, (it is a simple taper mount with the threads behind the taper) and sure fire is another titan in the industry as well as keymo. But when they say hub it just means that the back of the can has 1.375x24 threads so you can adapt it to whatever you want to use. Meaning that my DD upper with a pinned and welded rearden flash hider can use a B&T can. Three lug is a mostly pistol caliber carbine thing, and the click connect I dunno. But back to the hub thing. IT is cool because I own aero, otter creek and dead air cans, but all of them are on rearden mounts. Another Apple vs android war that is currently going on is the flow through (Huxwurx and similar) VS traditional baffle stack cans and the host for them. Flow cans are less gas, but they light up like a spot light on thermal and IR vs traditional cans but traditional cans are generally speaking slightly quieter and also less likely to flash. I hope this helps!
