Howdy friends,

I have a mk13 mod 5 currently being built at RBA. Don't plan on buying an OG KAC can for the prices they're worth. Other option is the GA MGL-11, which is currently out of production, but they said they're doing another run.

Curious to hear from guys who got one of the MGL-11s during the first run. Or just thoughts/opinions from anyone.

I know I'll be able to shoot the gun w/o a can, but where's the fun in that. It'll be close enough to clone correct for my happiness.

Thanks!

I saw. I got my name on the list too.

Still curious for any feedback from the guys who got cans during the first run.

I picked up an MG11 (MK11 MOD 0 clone) for SR-25s - got #19. They seem to shoot comparably to the other suppressors that people often put on AR10s and the like - certainly not hearing safe, but great for the recoil and concussion (especially on the MK11/13, with no muzzle device it's brutal raw).

Compared to the KAC cans, they are considerably lower pressure (great for gas guns) and the locking feature on the latch is a tremendous improvement over the original.

On an SR25, it's no contest. The GA's improvements make a big difference over the og. On a MK13? I don't think the reduced pressure or locking collar matter as much. The only reason to get the KAC oem is for the authentic look, but the only reason to get the GA is the price.

Great info! Appreciate it.
I feel bad because I ducked GA's emails and calls for the round 2 preorder =/.
I decided to gamble on trying to get the Tyr1 for the looks tbh. Need that dumb dimple vibe on my mk13.

I snagged the MGL11 on this pre order round. I was also tied on going for it or trying for the Tyr1, ultimately decided to ensure I get one. Might try for the Tyr1 down the road.

Right. That was the calculus made. I was going to order a guaranteed GA and then let it sit on my FFL's books. But he didn't want to hold onto it for me :cautious:. I'm sure I'll be sad when I don't get the T1 either, and have no can at all. Had to go for the gold though!

Well initially Tyr1 said they were doing a preorder. But then further discussion with them showed a cap of 50 on a “preorder” which isn’t the same thing obviously lol. Once I saw that I made the choice on GA. Also, GA does a fat discount for Mil/Le, so that made it even easier of a choice.

I talked to the owner a few times. Originally originally he said no preorders. Then I guess he changed it. The 50 cap is rough. I'm sure there's going to be a second run, but idk, we'll see.
I didn't know GA did a fat MIL discount. Dang. Whoops.

I need one for my Mk13 mod 5 but I'm on the fence. 2k is better than 8k for a knights...but there is no feedback on them. I asked griffin if they had ever tried the mgl-11 on said rifle and they said no and they would have someone testing soon. I offered myself and no response besides "it should work". I get that it depends on your smith and his accuracy to barrel profile (mine is RWS), but if the uncertainty on their end made me pass. They're making some more so maybe just go for it?? I'm on the email list...

That's kinda why I was digging for info too. The only video with review info is the Mullets guy. Kinda weird they said "should work". Don't like that.
They called people on the wait list the week of 3Feb. Did they not get you?
 
#13
No calls for me, they said the waitlist was closed when I emailed them in December. I was advised maybe some would be available through an instagram message. Also, I'm sitting on a little nest egg with a full built badass deployment kit super clone. If I buy the can...selling this for my future skiff boat is going to be a bit complicated if I decide to do so. If I get the can, might as well keep it. I'm really surprised no testing was done. Thoroughbred must have sold a hundred kits back in the day so I'm sure there is a market for our rifle.
 
#14
They should go live on their website soon. I prob shoulda bought one as a backup, but whatever.
My gun is off being built right now anyway. So, I've got time to try for the Tyr1, and then the (hopeful) second run of them.
I'd say there's a market. None of us want to spend 8k on a KAC and wanna suppress the guns. I think this second run of Griffins proves that.

Griffin makes a great product, I have zero concerns it’ll be up to par.
