Going Away from 6 ARC Suppressed?

80gr VT's grouped better than expected once suppressed and the rifle ran like a top, no feed or FTE issues, very happy.

Is this with factory ammo or handloads? If I get a 6 arc barrel I’d like to run the factory 80 grain stuff. Did you happen to chrono it? Thanks.

Factory loaded Hornady 80 grain ELD-VT. I left the chrono at home, I’ll bring it on the next range outing.

Nice! I see you’re running the proof barrel. Which buffer system are you running and how’s the ejection pattern look?

I just got one of the new Geissele GFR’s with 18” barrel. Unsupressed, it shoots pretty soft and ejection is 4:00 or so. I haven’t shot it suppressed yet. It has a chrome lined barrel and I was pleasantly surprised I was getting just under sub MOA with 108 gr. ELD-M’s. I’m going to try the 105 gr. Black’s next time.

I’d also like to try those VT’s

Get the flow 6k from huxworks
I’m debating between this can or their 762 ti. I don’t have any cans yet, so that’s why I am considering the 762.

I haven’t seen any reviews on the 6K yet. I like that it’s more compact though. I’m having a hard time deciding.

Carbine buffer, tube and spring with a SA carrier and JP bolt. I am trying to keep it as light as possible for the 80's as they didn't want to cycle without a can. Ejection pattern suppressed with the 80's was a consistent 4 o'clock so that's a win and the recoil was extremely light. The 108's shot sub moa as well but I haven't worked with them since the initial sight-in in order to see what they can really do. I don't have any plans to shoot the 103's or 105's unless the 108's aren't cutting it.

If it's your first can then most definitely go with the 762, it's a no brainer. The only reason to get a 6K is if you don't plan to ever shoot or own anything larger than 556/6ARC or if you already have multiple 762 cans like myself.

Currently have the 762 TI in jail 👍🏻
