Is anyone making a Ti TBAC CB mount? I’m using an ultra 5 on a lightweight backcountry rig and it seems silly that the mount alone weighs half as much as the can. I’d gladly buy a Ti mount to shave off another ounce or so.

View thread Contact supportGhey.If I were concerned about weight in a back country hunting rig, I’d pack a pair of molded ear plugs and leave the supressor and muzzle device at home. In fact, that’s what I do.
Most of the time when I’m hunting, things happen fast enough that I don’t have time to put in ear pro. As this can is on a 9# .300 PRC I also wanted some recoil reduction.If I were concerned about weight in a back country hunting rig, I’d pack a pair of molded ear plugs and leave the supressor and muzzle device at home.

It’s awesome that you guys chime in about requests like this! Which is part of what I love about the hide. That being said, I totally understand use at your own risk. This can is dedicated to this rifle so if it welds itself to the muzzle device then I guess I have a direct thread can now and I can live with that.We would not necessarily recommend doing that due to issues with galling and thermal expansion rates. That’s why we don’t make them. Proceed at your own risk.
These only take about a sec to put on. Just hang them around your neck until you need them. I’ve never missed a shot because I was putting in ear pro. Put a Ti brake on your rifle for recoil reduction…Most of the time when I’m hunting, things happen fast enough that I don’t have time to put in ear pro.

No, besides that the retention between a DT can and a threaded barrel is worse than the retention between a CB brake and a CB can.I've often thought about just using red locktite on a cb brake in my cans. I've bought enough brakes that I could've bought another can if my cans were direct thread lol. Is there any reason, for a dedicated hunting can, why it would be a bad idea to just red locktite a titanium brake in a suppressor?

ETA- I missed the part about a "titanium brake". When we used to make titanium-threaded direct thread cans (e.g. 30P-1, etc), we had cans get stuck all the time due to galling between stainless and ti. Not a good combination. We have never-- never-- seen a DLC coated 17-4 CB brake gall and seized on SS muzzle threads.
I gotcha, thanks for the info Zak!No, besides that the retention between a DT can and a threaded barrel is worse than the retention between a CB brake and a CB can.
