Can't decide if I just want to keep buying 762 cans.. or actually get some 5.56 cans...both mount on the 51t... hmm..

I picked up a 556-SD (the cheap one) on the cheap during Damn the man.

Now I can rotate it on the 5.56 and use the 762-SDN-6 on the .308 and 300BLK.

I don't have your kind of money so the next one up for me is gonna be a DIY .30CAL for dedicated 300BLK SBR duty.

[Edit] FYI, the 5.56 can shouldn't mount on the 5/8" 51T...

since were on the subject and it's way to n00b of a question to open up to the boards....


Is there a can I can buy that I can mount on my .308 bolt gun AND my 6.8 SPC II, AND my 5.56? or will I need to get different sizes for different cal?

Sure, lots of them. Pretty common to run a 30 cal can on smaller cals. (IE. AAC SDN6 on 5.56 AR's) The only real issues are to make sure your bore is big enough for your largest size caliber, and that you can is rated for the highest pressure round you're looking to shoot. Mounting can all be accomplished by either using thread adapters, or finding a can that takes a universal (for lack of better term) mounting system. (IE, Yankee hill 30 cal and 5.56 cans can all fit on a YHM 30 cal QD brake,) Silencerco even has QD mount adapters to run their cans on AAC and YHM mounts.

Cool, so find one for my .308 shooting hot rounds, and if the suppressor can take the pressure I can put it on the lesser 5.56... got it. Thanks!!

Many of the form 1 freeze plug/ valve retainer builders out there are using Griffin Arm adapters to run their cans on Griffins hiders/ brakes. I've even done that myself on my latest form1. The taper mount is a pretty good system for retention and alignment of a can. My latest is a Titanium can with stainless cone baffles. Made it for my Scar 17 and put an adapter on one of my 5.56 ARs to try it out as well. Usually I'm into direct thread, but figured it would be fun to try a flashhider mounted can on the Heavy.

Yep, you get a different tone running the larger bore can with a smaller caliber projectile, but the result is usually still pretty good.

You sure about that? Seems awful dangerous. The AAC .30cal cans attach to all the mounts, the 556 cans will not attach to the 30cal mount...

You're right. I have that reversed. It should say

(IE, Yankee hill 30 cal and 5.56 cans can all fit on a YHM 5.56 QD brakes,)

AAC is the same way. 30 cal cans fit on 5.56 brakes. At least for the 51T models. Not sure on the newer 91T mounts.
