Best flow through suppressor

[zekers7]

CAT

 

[WeThePeople1776]

Perhaps towards August or so, I'll be looking to purchase a flow through suppressor for my DD AR-15. I know Huxworks makes a great suppressor, but I was wondering if anyone has tried the CAT line of suppressors?

Specifically I'm looking at either the HUXWRX FLOW 556K or the CAT WB 718.

I bought three Silencerco Velos LBP, I started out wanting to buy one 7.62 Caliber can. At the time Silencer Central had a Bogo deal. Spend $1,100 dollar can and get the Silencerco Omega 300 for free. At the time the Velos had just came out. So bought that and got The other at the time $999 Omega 300 for free which is strictly used for hunting rifles. Once I shot the Velos I wont shoot any other can on a AR platform. Then they came out with the Velos K which I ordered for my 10.3" Mark 18. Then I had to buy the velos in 7.62 for my 6.5 Grendal and 6 Arc. The Velos Suppresors are full auto rated, no min barrel length and are bomb proof. Shot a huxwork and Surfire RC3. Better sound and flash suppression then Huxwork with same flow so almost no blow back. RC3 had allot more blow back then other two with minium sound difference plus much more money. For testing and wealth of knowledge on almost all supressors watch The Jay Situation At Pew Science. Here is link for Velos, hope it helps other people looking for I think best Flow Through can. At the time of this post they are out of stock for 7.62 Velos and 5.56 Velos K everywhere.

At this point I am a suppressor addict. So just so flow through feed back, my personal opinion with no data of any sort.

Of the cans I own, the ones that do the best with pushing gas forward.

1) Hux 556
2) Surefire Socom rc3
3) Deadair Sandman with Ebrake

Behind the gun perceived noise by me from quietest to loudest

1) Deadair Sandman with Ebrake
2) Surefire Socom rc3
3) Hux 556

Sturdiest feeling can for heavy use

1) Surefire Socom rc3
2) Deadair Sandman
3) Huxwurx

Flash suppression
1) Surefire = Sandman
3) Hux 556 - it burbs fire every 6 or 7 shots

Cost from most to least
1) Surefire 1700
2) Hux 1100
3) Sandman 800

The easiest to take off after a day of use has been the Sandman, but barely over the Surefire. I have had to take a wrench to the Hux twice.

Honorable mention that I did not include because it is new to me, CGS Helios. It has an attachment like the Ebrake for the Sandman that lets it become a quasi flow through. It reminds me of the SOCOM 2 in its base configuration but better because of the ability to vent more gas forward versus a standard baffle design.

Just to say it, the most versatile is the Sandman because it is a 30 caliber can and I can put it on more rifles vs the 556 specific cans. For 1800 you can effectively have a Hux and Sandman and for 1700 you can have the RC3.

I ended up buying a cobalt scrambler QD and I am very impressed with it

Anyone tested multiple flow through designs under NODs? What I have heard is that a bunch of them cause a lot of flash compared to traditional baffle stacks.

The new Knights PRG cans have incredibly low flash- the lowest I've seen in a suppressor

The HuxWrx Flow sparked pretty good under nods the one time I used it, I can't speak to others.

Did you test it as a rental before your purchase? What convinced you to buy it?

I would think about it as a type of suppressor. If you buy a 3D printed titanium can, it has been our experience that they spark or burp flash every couple of rounds initially. The one that immediately jumps out was our first Huxwrx flow. Having said that, we had shot it and after maybe a couple of hundred rounds it dropped off quite a bit. After the first cleaning (soak in clp) it went away completely.

This may be just me but if you start shooting under nods, the can will glow to the point you can see it with both nods and thermals. The glow is much more noticeable then the sparking.
