Took the HTG Aris to the range on New Years.

HTG, a company that used to owned by a brilliant, but eccentric Greek man was recenty sold to new owners last year. They took some time getting it set up in a new shop.

The HTG Aris is a can that meters extremely well. i.e. on the meter, it is QUIET, Quiet as the tier 1 QD cans. Now the meter, as we well know, does not tell the whole story. The can can also be quiet due to other factors. In this case, the ARIS is competitive with the Teir 1 cans in sound performance on teh 20" barrel that we tested it on.

We shot it next to my SPR/M4 on my 18" SPR profile rifle and it was comparable. This is what the meter results led us to expect.

The can comes apart for cleaning.

One thing, the baffles are compressed the endcap with bellville springs made of inconel. There was a question as to whether the springs would survive in the environment of a 556 suppressor.

Thanks for the report & video. I have one of these waiting for FORM 4 to clear in Tucson,been pending about 4 months. Mike from HTG has been great to deal with. Your report is encouraging, please let me know what you find with the springs.

I picked up an ARIS on demo from Mike and I am very impressed with its performance. For the money it is a tough can to beat if you want something that will hold up to FA or SBR.
