@ktc9639 2 жыл бұрын

Great video! Thanks for your constantly awesome contents. Unless multiple guns/suppressors are being switched frequently, I'm not sure how the Xeno is advantageous over a direct thread. Unless I'm misunderstanding, it seems like the Xeno brake can walk off the barrel (unless rocksett'd), and the Xeno adapter can loosen off the can during shooting, no different than how a direct thread adapter can loosen. Is there a reason to add one more thread that can potentially loosen with the Xeno when direct thread can be used?

Great video. All of your videos are great. I went with the Griffin Plan A. It adds no length, looks great, and has numerous muzzle devices. The plan b isn’t flush, has that crappy cherry bomb and the company has zero support. Sure you can get an aftermarket muzzle device but then it adds extra length. The Xeno is just unnecessarily long, sorry they screwed up.

I have a Sandman S in jail (I go to visit it at least once a month) that’s going to be run 1/2x28, so the included muzzle brake will not be used... while paying my $200 through Silencer Shop I ordered the flash hider style mount... it came without shims... Quick email to dead air confirmed that they don’t recommend using them anymore on the flash hider. While looking in the Sandman S box the other day I saw a note that said they did not have any shims available at the time of shipping, and to notify them when you were ready to mount a muzzle device. Cool enough. Thinking this new system is what I need. A big fan of the birdcage as it is.

@jjsemperfi 2 жыл бұрын

Maybe I just need to work my Keymo’s a ton but mine are so tight. I’ve spun my Keymo adapter off my can multiple times. I use Rocksett on all my muzzle devices but I don’t like doing it to adapters because I like to swap them around. The Xeno looks really great though. Might have to try it on my Rex can when it’s out of jail…in 5 years 🤦‍♂️

I've never had a problem with my ASR mounts through thousands and thousands of rounds. I think it's important to move parts that get hot carbon every 500 rounds or so. For example, remove the suppressor at that round count, or switch the setting on an adjustable gas system. Then these high carbon areas stay freely moving.

What was the issue with the ASR for you,

@mr.gadgetfishing2134 2 жыл бұрын

I'm with you, can't stand to time all the brakes. It is a PITA to do them and using more than one shim I think is a problem. At 2:50 you show a line of muzzle devices and in there is a Keymo that looks like it was cut off? Thinking about cutting off a few ASR brakes I have. Ever seen that done with an ASR? want to use the mount in a few applications but not the brake, I have them so why not cut them off and use them... Thoughts on that? I do plan on trying a few Xeno flash hiders and a mount. They look great. Thanks for the review.
