We are sponsors for Pew Science. Jay has a great review. If you have any questions, I spent the better part of this weekend in briefings about the product, ask. If I cannot answer, others can.

Also have in-stock, if interested: https://charliescustomclones.com/huxwrx-flow-7-62-ti-suppressor-in-black/

Also have FDE. If interested, ask. We have not published that yet. For 'hide programs, message me.

Did they give any more specific data on durability, in terms of Ti being able to withstand blast chamber and baffle erosion? I see they are showing it "passes" 6 SURGE cycles which is great, but does that mean it showed no visible signs of baffle wear, or it was totally beat to hell, etc?

I think lots of people are excited about this can, and for good reason, but the Flow 556K is all 17-4 which is more appealing to me for a 7.62 can on a SBR, even at the expense of additional weight.

Jay normally does not comment on durability, just sound suppression and back pressure. Clearly, durability is also an important factor to consider.

My perspective is that you need to scope your use case when picking a can. But, there have been a number of suppressors made with titanium in the last two years to know that the metal holds up well in precision shooting, and general use. Yes, there is a place for Inconel and stainless as well. Most of us are not shooting full auto, but some alloys are better suited for heavy-duty use than titanium, for sure.

Maybe, guess it will be another 8 months or so before we see end user reports. KGM claimed to use some kind of coating to reduce flash in their Ti cans. No idea if it helps.

I might have a group approval in the coming month or two if I get lucky. I'll be able to check then providing I get lucky.

Ordered mine mid Aug. and have it in hand now. Will shoot it this weekend and report back.

Was told sparking/flash is very minimal after coated with carbon.

I think this is most titanium cans, at least in my experience. Perfectly clean? Sure it's the 4th of July. Once you coat everything in some carbon though this seems to go away.

Very impressed with this can in a piston PWS 7.62x39 with an M16 lower. Required no change to gas and it sounds fantastic. Overall execution is 5 out of 5 stars. compared to the Surefire socom that was on it previously, it’s leaps ahead.

Durability is tbd but I run it full auto and it works.

Mine is officially out of jail but I won't have it for about a week. I'll be able to test it vs. the older HX-QD762Ti and a traditional baffle can, the Enticer S Ti. If you look at PEW data, the Enticer S and the Flow 762 put out similar numbers. Given my experience with the Enticer S thus far on a bolt action rifle and 300 blackout gas gun, I'm expecting big things.

Looking forward to your review. I've been looking at the Enticer Line of cans as well.

Can arrived today, will hopefully be "testing" it this weekend against the HX-QD762Ti and the Diligent Defense on a number of hosts. The Flow weighs about 4oz. less than the older Hux can and is a smidge shorter although I have the non-flash hider version. You can definitely feel the weight difference between them. I did clean the old one recently but it's still coming in a bit heavier than what I remember when it was brand spanking new. Huxwrx is now apparently including the wrench which is fantastic. Checked concentricity on the Sig and it was spot-on.

Worth mentioning...Huxwrx now has their own HUB mount so you're able to run Hux muzzle devices with other suppressor brands. I have two in-hand. Doesn't work with the "Flow" line but does work with their new Ventum. I have one installed on my Diligent Defense suppressor now and I have a Dead Air I'll be converting once I get it back from being serviced yet again.

I had mine at the range tonight and it's definitely still sparking a bit but I don't have a large number of rounds though it yet. My older HXQD762Ti doesn't spark any longer and it doesn't have the flash hider feature like the latest version of that can. Definitely noticed the Flow sparking initially but now it's not every round, just now and again so I'm hoping at some point, it stops completely. I mostly use it on a 308 or 300 Blackout gas guns and not as much on 5.56 although it suppresses that caliber pretty damn well.

So I have a large frame AR that I and my buddy that is a professional gunsmith put together. I run it suppressed a lot and it does ok with good ammo. It does however stove pipe here and there even with good ammo.

If I run cheap ball ammo, I get maybe 2 rounds and it stovepipes.
I realize AR 308’s are finicky, but id love to trust this rifle as my go to gun, but I don’t currently.


My question is, would the Flow solve this hiccup?

I’d love to have just 1 setting for the AR308 whether it’s suppressed or not.
Anyone have input on this? I’ve never gotten to see a Flow actually run, so I’ve got nothing to go on. And $1300 is a lot to spend on something that I don’t know will actually work.
Thanks guys

I can't say yes to your issue but I can say that I've run mine on a .300BLK, .308, and a 5.56 with no real increase in back pressure and no need to change the gas setting. It is awesome.

Agreed. I've become more and more impressed with it as I compare it to other cans. It's not #1 in sound suppression but it's exceptional in every criteria and the gun just runs so much cleaner. Kicking45, if the AR runs fine without the suppressor, then it'll run pretty much the same with the Huxwrx.

My .02 is, don't put a band-aid on it. Get your gunsmith friend to figure why its not reliable at low gas setting, or with low power ammo. Then, sure put a flow Silencer on it. Don't use backpressure from a can to fix a problem being caused by something else. Stay in touch, let us know how it goes for you.

HUXWRX makes finicky guns acting more finicky. Take gun to professional and fix issues first.​

I am running one on my .308 AR-10. The rifle ran great unsupressed but the minute I put my Rugged Radient or Dead Air Nomad LTi it would damage casings, stove pipe, or FTE. I put a SA adjustable gas block and that helped some but didn't completely solve the gas issues when running suppressed. I bought the 7.62 Flow on a black Friday sale at Silencer Shop last year. Once I got it approved, I set the rifle back up to run without a suppressor then screwed on the flow. It runs perfectly now. I have a 1/2" poi shift at the 6 o'clock position that is repeatable at 100 yards every time. I keep looking for the inconel version of the 5.56 Flow now for my work rifle.

Large frames are different than AR15s.

There's so much gas cycling the action that you're going to have a ton of carbon and blowback with high back pressure cans. if you don't overgas the hell out of it it's not gonna run once it's dirty and beyond sucking to shoot that creates new problems. It's just how it works. Smooth ejection settings won't have enough steam to cycle it once the action is filled with a couple hundred rounds of crap.

This is why companies like GAP and JP don't even recommend silencers on a large frame.

Flow cans 100% fix the issue. Large frame gas guns are the most legitimate use cases for flow cans. The factory cans from KAC and LMT are essentially flow through cans. There's a reason they didn't make a copy of a traditional baffle can like a harvester or whatever and that's because they don't work on large frames for high round counts in dirty conditions.

Also take note, there's an enormous amount of difference between some milsurp 7.62 ball ammo and actual good 308 ammo in the 168-190 grain range. The high end guns like seekins or whatever are optimized for a single load. You can't have it all. If you time the gun for super low powered crap ammo it's going to run rough with the hot stuff. That's just how this works.

I have similar experience till I ran 1000 rd though it. After “jet” ports getting clog up by carbon buildup fun begins. Cleaning doesn’t solve it cause not all carbon removed. Big frame ar really finicky regarding gad setting. I moved my Huxwrx to ar15 and that’s where it lives now. Reliable back pressure and tune gas system only the answer.

I've had very good results with the Flow 556K and the 7.62 Flow on my gas guns. Run them all on the unsuppressed gas block settings Run great, much cleaner magazines and chambers. Trade off is a touch louder to my unscientific ear than non flow cans but I am also comparing to non K cans on 5.56 and a 10 stack AB Raptor on 7.62, so expected. I am happy with them for my use.
