Suppressors Is this affecting accuracy

[mheimer_45]

Does this affect accuracy? All other baffles look good. Can is an AEM5. Only been on two barrels. A CLE kreiger and a CLE criterion. Do not know when it happened. Just noticed it today. Maybe 200 rnds through the can.

unlikely

Ok thanks @Zak Smith. Going forward what do I need to watch out for? Can has never been loose when I’ve went to remove it.

figure out if it was a mounting problem and fix it

it could have also been a bullet that blew itself up but that is a lot more rare than a mounting issue

Both barrels run the aem collar and brake. As of right now both shoot factory ammo. Either 55 grain blitzking or 69 smk’s.

I ran a .223 diameter rod down both before shooting. Rod came out center of both barrels with the can.

Both barrels are a 1-8” twist.

It happens unfortunately.

Double check your mounts & make sure the can is always locked down completely.

It’s happened here also.

It's the Ops Inc kiss. Your can ain't broken in until it has one. Welcome to the club. Never seen a Mk12 that didn't eventually get one.

My $0.02…. If you don’t know when it happened, and you haven’t noticed any detrimental effects that could have given you any idea as to when it happened, I’d say it’s not really worth losing any sleep over.

Here is a possibility barrel harmonics.

Well I missed two coyotes back to back with no background splash. So after the second miss I unloaded and cleared the gun and started looking things over. That’s when I noticed it.

Went out to the prairie dog pasture the next day and hit four prairie dogs in a row so I dunno.

Shoot at a paper target

Only you can confirm this.

2 of the 3 of my AEM5 have baffle end strikes on them. No effects on accuracy.
