I’m looking to buy my first suppressor. I understand that the jack of all trades is the master of none however I would like to be able to swap one can between my two daily shooters. the rifles i want to fit are my rem 700 .308 and my overpriced ACR (5.56). this leads me to thinking about the YHM phantom with it thread on mounts. problem solved right? not quite as I’m a fool and believe the hype that bushmaster squats over me and releases. I want to use this can on 6.5/6.8 kits to are “soon” to come out what is my best bet?

i've done a .30cal can on an AR....works plenty good .....and seems to not have too much blowback....
YMMV

Re: All in one super can
I have experience with the AAC 762SD for this application. I love it, but I wish I had the new 51T mounting system. Since you are buying now you will have the choice.

Nope. I only run my 762SD with .308 and .223. It does really well for those two calibers and I have READ good reports for the can on 6.8 and 6.5, but I have no first hand experience.

Yes, both in 6.5/260 and 6.8 and .223 and in FA.
The very best is a deep penetration welded can out of a solid block of titanium. FA rated, precision made on brand new 7-axis. Quiet as it gets, as tough as it gets, as precise as it gets. But, one has to honestly ask themselves if they want to spend more than a grand on a can. Thread on only. I have the same can in .30 and I will tell you that, while the extra internal volume helps (especially in gas op blow back), no well made can that is overbore can match acoustically a can made exactly for a given caliber. .223 to 6.5 to 6.8? Yes to .30 no, its good but not excellent.
When you see the cans together, well it becomes pretty damn clear. When one fashions the exterior envelope (tube) out of solid, one gets to make the wall thickness anything one wants.
End caps become works of art in strength and protection and baffles can be welded deeply for the full 360. Surfaces get worked for thermal radiation, especially at the diffuser and primary.
6.8
If you do your work you will not be buying YHM and a whole host of others. There are great cans out there, hear them all, shoot as many as you can and understand the basics and you will not be disappointed. If the issue is precision shooting, you will be threading on. Good luck.

Just see if you can shoot as many brands as you can. If not shoot them, then hear them. dB readings are only part of the process. Just don't buy a damn thing until you have heard the cans out there. There are some great companies doing excellent work, in many ways this is the golden age of suppression.

You can get a brake that has a clamp-screw type set on it so that it's easy to get on and off. Or you can just run knurled thread protectors and forget the brakes.

If your going to be switching a lot then go with a QD system. I recall David @ Shark saying he has a QD system coming out.

Re: All in one super can
Hopefully next month if you have a 5/8 x 24 and 1/2 x 28 the existing cans I have made will be able to use quick detatch and modular thread adapters
A flash hider will stay on the gun

Re: All in one super can
Another option is to buy a 5/8-24 threaded 308 can and one of these adapters for 1/2-28

Re: All in one super can
The AAC 7.62SD with the new 51t quick detach is a good can and resonably priced. I have an older one with the 18 tooth and it works well on my 308's and 5.56 AR. If your going to be switching back and forth I would defenitely go with something that is quick detach. I have non QD cans and I dont like threading them on and off. the QD is way easier and its made for just that.

Re: All in one super can
I don't think I'd buy can "A" over can "B or C" just because of the QD availability. I'd buy because it's quieter or lighter or smaller. It takes all of 2-3 minutes to take off the threaded can, swap out the thread adapter to another size and reinstall on a different rifle. Good quality cans are costly items and I wouldn't settle for anything that didn't meet my expectations listed above first. If it were possible to have the QD after those things, that would be icing on the cake. Buy quality stuff if you're going to buy it, pay for $200 stamp and wait 3-4 months, you don't want to be disappointed with it. If QD is 1 of your requirements, you might have to sacrafise something else in your expectations.
