Re: How is the Aries Suppressor System?
Alder,
Now I am not defending this can, see above. But having said that. This system cleans out faster and more completely than any other. Any other. The full exterior envelope can be accessed, the full stack can be dipped, scrubbed, etc. The full length of barrel can be cleaned and prepped. Whereas one would not want to take this system out and use it as a cane, it is not "weak." You read enough of my stuff to know I am not a fan of reflex, covering any barrel in high volume fire leads to deterioration and stringing. But...
Sunlight and carbon Fiber. Ultraviolet light and condensation have been shown to degrade some forms of epoxy used in bonding carbon fiber, some forms, not all. The largest mass of carbon fiber ever assembled has zero deterioration and it is in both sun and salt 24/7.

80 times stronger than steel,40 times stronger than titanium,
Half the weight of aluminum, the fastest dissipation of heat.
<span style="text-decoration: underline">NOT</span> as a high pressure envelope (as in the stack ends, and so does the CF!) But as a high volume, low pressure <span style="text-decoration: underline">full</span> RIFLE length barrel wrap. no problem.
Traditional roles for cans are best served exactly as you stated. But, for those that need absolute quiet in large centerfire, low thermal, tightest OAL, there is a strong following.
DDavis, what went wrong with your suppressor? What did he fix? I would appreciate as much detail as you can muster, thanks.
