I bought 2 of the 51T mounts after thinking my element was the hot sheet. After a while of researching I sold those mounts and decided aac was not going to be my choice for another can. </div></div>
The sheeple comment was for this guy, not you, at4rxj. Your question is legit, and I did my best to answer it. Basically, it boils down to whether you want to run the can hard on short barrels OR like the idea of a short can (N6) or if you just want a multi-caliber suppressor - in which case you would be just fine with the SD. Your mounts will work for either can.
My facts aren't wrong, the 51 Tooth mount was made for Fast Attach, but can be USED on precision rifles. No matter how hard you wish for it, or how many of us buy the 51-tooth series cans with precision rifles in mind for them, it will not change the fact that their primary design was to allow the end-user (which was probably the military, as far as AAC was concerned - if you recall, the entire first run of the N6 can itself went to a military order) to quickly and positively attach a can to a carbine. However, as I stated SEVERAL times FROM THE BEGINNING, it can be made to work just fine for precision rifles (and I will be using mine for that application) by either selecting a tight mount or by tuning a mount that started with a bit of tolerance. It really is that simple. The difference is that I knew what I was buying and what it would take to use it for my various applications when I slapped my money down, and Pete obviously did not. The 51 tooth mount predates the SD and N6 by several years. The 5.56 M4-2000 was the original 51 tooth ratchet mount, and the SPR-M4 with it's MITER mount or direct thread-on cans were the accepted Precision Rifle suppressors in 5.56 at that time - which is why I bought the SPR-M4 back then. The reason AAC went to the 51-tooth for the SD and N6 is that it is better/more positive than the 18 tooth, not because it was designed for precision rifles. The fact remains that any of them were capable of precision use, then and now.

Are you actually trying to argue the point that the 51t model of the 762SD was not intended for precision rifles?! If you are..... That might be the craziest shit I have ever heard.
The first run of the 762SD with 51t system was featured on the Sniper's Hide Valkyrie rifles, which were precision bolt action rifles. and Mike Mers himself told me over the phone the 762SD cans were built as a "QD precision rifle can".
The N6 is a different animal, as it was described from day one. Stop lumping the 3 together in the same class. </div></div>
IMO, aac and "precision" are not two words that go together. </div></div>
You want to put money down on that statement? It's more to do with the rifle then the can. But if you want to put that to the test you can meet me on the range where my Valkyrie shoots dimes at 100 with the 18t can and my 260 will do the same with the 51t 762SD. I can also break out the Titan SS and Cyclops and we give that a whirl.
