I see they're in stock at MHS. Haven't seen anybody talking about them yet. I'm honestly tempted, but I just can't choke down $6000 for a can.

Interested to see if anybody has bought/used one yet, tho! Convince me it's worth it!

you're such a tease

And I'm honestly interested in how you justified the cost? You got money to burn, you're a competitor, somebody else paid for it, it's just your jam?

Looks like the one I've got on order isn't due for a serial number assignment until the 2nd week of August.

Any range reports yet?

I'm increasingly drawn to this as a solution for my 375CT (need more recoil reduction than the EI can gives, and not sold on the Asset with anchor brake - too many materials, too complicated dis/assembly, direct thread only).

Would probably use on my 50 BMG too, but it has a 40" barrel. will be looooooooooong....

I forgot to get back with you.

Noise wise it sounds like a suppressed 308, but different. Not louder, just different. To my ears anyway.

I have had about a dozen people put a few rounds through it and everyone is amazed by the lack of recoil and noise. There is still recoil, you cant get away from starting to move a 700-800 gn bullet, but it is night and day compared to any other suppressed 50 that I have shot.

Mine is mounted on an AI boltgun. It looks long, but doesnt feel long.

Thank you very much for this.

Have you shot it with the 4" modular section removed?

I know it will be louder, I'm wondering about recoil.
