Anyone have any experience/thoughts on this? TIA.

I have fired a few mags through one on a 10.2" Noveske. Really nice can. Fit inside my buddies handguard too. Came apart very easily for cleaning. The new G-Core is really a cool design: light weight, easy to clean, Ti, and good dB reduction. Worth looking at if wanting a dedicated 300 can. I have heard that it can be used for some 9mm as well.

Thanks for the info Ctown, I can see running it on a 9mm, how about 5.56?

 

[CTown137]

It is not rated for 5.56.

It is not rated for 5.56.

That kinda blows

 

[wfjames22]

doubt you are going to run 9mm throught it either

9mm=.355 projectiles 300blk=.308 projectilies

•Caliber: 300 Blackout Supersonic and subsonic only

....from your original post...

I talked to my friend at Gem Tech and he confirmed that it is a 300 blackout only can.

It's a very close design to the Liberty Suppressors monocore. Be wary of anyone who tells you that a single core design will provide optimal suppression on everything from rimfire to centerfire pistol to centerfire rifle. Not sure why it would be rated for .300 supers and not 5.56 as they are similar in energy.

Conquerer, the muzzle PSI in a 300BLK is significantly less than a 5.56 with barrel length being equal.

 

[Conqueror]

That's a fair point for a given barrel length and cartridge but how does an 8" .300 supersonic compare to a 16" 5.56? Also, given the firing schedule of many AR-type weapons, it seems foolish to build and sell a can that has a narrow safety margin. If they were saying "this is for subsonics only, like running a 9mm pistol can on a .338 Spectre" I could understand it. But it is rated for use on a full-auto short-barreled .300 using supersonic ammo. Why can it not handle 5.56? Further, at $995 MSRP, why would anyone buy one when there are similarly-priced cans that perform as well and are rated for many more calibers?
