I hate to do this but I gain allot of good information from this site so I feel obligated to share my experience.
About 2 months ago I got my YHM Phantom .308 steel suppressor with the quick attach mount after the usual 4 month wait for the ATF. I jumped up and headed to the range after mounting the adapter on my custom built Rem 700 in .300 Win Mag. (Suppressor is rated for .300 Win Mag) I should say that the first thing I found was that the wrench flats on the suppressor mount were so thin that I had grind a flat wrench much thinner so that it would fit between the locking ring and the muzzle shoulder of the barrel. REALLY DUMB design!(YHM later told me they thought it was a dumb design as well so why didn't they fix it?) So, I head to the range and I notice that the suppressor won't screw all the way flush to the locking ring leaving about 1/8" gap. I fire a shot or two as I can't stand the anticipation any longer and all is well.
The next day I call YHM and they have me send the mount and the suppressor back to them at a cost of about $25 for second day shipping that I pay. I tell them I need the suppressor back asap as I am attending a long range class 9 days from the return date. They assure me it will be inspected and returned and 4 days later I find that the suppressor was machined incorrectly and did not have enough clearance for the QD mount. WOW! How does that get past QC? By now I need the suppressor second day air to make sure it arrives for my class and they agree to only pay what UPS ground would cost. I have to pay the rest which is $12 so now I am up to $37 in shipping but I do get the suppressor for the long range class.
Fast forward 8 weeks and 500 rounds later through the bolt action Rem 700 and I am at another long range class. I notice the second morning that my 100 yard cold bore shot has shifted to the right 2 moa. The third morning it has shifted 4 moa total! I finally remove the suppressor at the end of the day and notice that the QD mount is literally disentegrating. It looks like a 5 year old barbeque grill. Keep in mind that I have a very nice Broughton barrel and I keep my strings to 7 or so shots maximum between cool downs so it isn't like this thing has been run on a full auto AR10. Now of course YHM is apparently snowed in and no one is answering the phones. I am sure they will offer to replace the QD mount after I pay more shipping to send the can and mount back because I definitely want the can checked for damage. In all fairness the can shoots fine when all the parts are the right size and overall I am happy with the accuracy but I think YHM has jumped into bed with a suppressor company without keeping an eye on quality!!! I will try to follow up on this and let you know how they handle it but I won't be buying anymore of their products, period.....
