Ordered an Arbiter from Mile High they had to wait a while for it to be built. Now with the .gov shutdown I'll have to wait longer to give a first hand review. : (
Decent can, but for the money you simply cannot beat TBAC 30P-1. I have a Ti Arbiter and I would not buy another. Just my 2 cents.
When purchasing a suppressor don't just buy it because "it sounds good". Buy it for overall quality of craftsmanship, materials used, baffle design = suppression, and Customer SERVICE.

i bought a TBAC 30 P-1 on their group buy and am waiting for it to go to my dealer. Was curious about the SAS due to Mile High carrying them.
Agreed. I wanted the SAS Arbiter for a few years...and I used to actually get a hold of Tim. Last year, I was trying to get the Arbiter...couldn't get a hold of him since he was moving to NV...Mile High strung me along said they would contact me once the Arbiters were in stock...never got a call.
Which is fine with me...that 10% from TBAC pushed me over the fence on which 30cal suppressor to purchase. I like that Zak and company are here to help if anyone needs it. TBAC will actually support their customers instead of having to go through Mile High or any other vendor.
I hear great things about SAS suppressors, but CS is not one of those things.

I own an Arbiter and have a Reaper on the way, both Ti. I bought the Arbiter strictly on reputation and valued opinions of people I respect and price (before they increased). I've had a great experience using the Arbiter, but it is the only experience with a suppressor I have. I've never heard another suppressor to compare. It's been a solid performer, but I can definitely understand people's distaste for customer service. The Reaper took a LOOOOOOOONG time to get to my dealer (most of which was because of BATFE and the move to NV). I got in on both before price increases, so I feel I got a good deal. Hopefully, I won't regret my decision to get the Reaper. That Arbiter has been a great performer on my .308 AR, the .308 bolt action and a 6.8 SPC AR as well. Looking forward to putting the Reaper through its paces.
i bought one about a year ago. I have had no need for customer service and the can has served me very well. I only have about 1000 rounds through it of 6.5 creedmoor and .300 blackout. When shooting this can side by side with a tbac the sas was slightly quieter through my gun and through my ears. My Carl Bernosky built creedmoor is just as accurate with or without the can. The remington barreled blackout shoots a little better with the can on than without.
I have an Arbiter and love it. My dentist (and part-time gunsmith, this is South Carolina after all) ordered one over 6 months ago and it still hasn't come in stock. He's about to cancel his order and go to a different brand.
Been pleased with my Arbiter bought from Mile High. No troubles for me with Mile High or SAS but I have had mine for over a year. I use it on .308 and 300BLK with good results although i have not tested it side-by-side with another can.
Love my arbiter. It has around 2000 rounds thru it and works great. It has been shot next to many other cans and always is commented by others as being really quite. I also have a ss 338 sas can and same deal, great can. I have some aac cans and really like the sas better
Another fan here. I've had mine for about 6 months and love it. I got the Ti Arbiter and am using it on a 6.5 Creed. I am using the TOMB version. It's a really well built suppressor, light-weight and very quiet. Accuracy and repeatability of POI is superb. The more I use it the better it gets, and I had no problems with availability or CS at the time of purchase. I got it from Mile High and with the stamp, was out the door for less than $1k...So far I'm very happy with it.
Here's some vids I made from my iPhone. The first two are out of a buddy's truck at his farm in Ohio. The next two are near Buena Vista, CO. When I'm not under cover, I shoot w/o hearing pro...it's quiet enough. I had it on in the truck cuz they were shooting guns w/o suppressors, and I was under a roof in the last two.

I have a question for anyone that has one of these...have you cleaned yours yet, and what did you use? When do you need to clean a suppressor? I have about 450 rounds through mine so far. All Hornady factory ammo.

I have a Reaper and an Arbiter, both Ti, both TOMB mount. Happy as can be with both. Owned them both for over a year without any issues. I use the Reaper more than the Arbiter, have about 2000 rounds through the Reaper. Have never cleaned either, other than the mounting threads once in a while.
Hope I never need the customer service because I have never been able to get ahold of Tim at SAS when I had questions.
Although I am very happy with SAS, and I believe you would be as well if that's what you chose to buy, I think you would be just as well served with a Thunderbeast and Zak & co are outstanding at customer service. Service matters alot.

I have a ti arbiter that i run on my armalite sas.it's amazing.the only suppressor i've been able to compare it to was my buddies aac.that was'nt even fair.after side by side comparison(both .308) acc needs to continue to put their name on cartridges,not suppressors.

That's odd considering my Cyclone, 300SD, and Titan Ti are all more quiet then the Arbiter Ti.
I've had a ti Arbiter for several years and thousands of rounds. 308, 260, 223 and 300 blackout. This year I weighed it and it had put on over 1/4 pound. I tried ultrasonic cleaning with and without vinegar. I managed to take most of the moly resin coating off but it hardly lost any weight. I read about "the dip" at silencer tests. It's 50-50 white vinegar and hydrogen peroxide. Real nasty toxic combination. I plugged one end and filled it up. I let it bubble for about an hour, saved the mixture, then back in the ultra sonic for a final cleaning. Chunks of carbon fell out and it was clean as new inside.
Caution: Only use this mixture on stainless and titanium.
