Came across these yesterday online and was wondering if anyone has tried these? Watched a few videos and they seem to have good dB reductions. They look interesting with such a modular design. And the price point seems good. But as I don’t own a suppressor yet and still reaserching just trying to get info. Thanks!
 
I have a 5.56 Rebel can with an over the barrel feature and direct thread. Just got the tax stamp 2 weeks ago. It is reasonably quiet for 5.56 and i think I paid $220 including sales tax for the thing. The first rifle I used it on was a Tavor and it was so gassy it brought tears to my eyes after about 5 shots. The Tavor is probably not a good judge of overall performance in this area as they are known to be pretty gassy. There was a bluish paste inside the can that appeared to be some type of lubricant which exuded great amounts of blue smoke when firing. That did subside when I moved it over to a Sig556 and it was much better. Due to the modular stacked design, it is easy to disassemble. The direct thread is aluminum so only time will tell how well that will hold up. I would say that it is pretty decent for a low cost silencer, just not too sure about the aluminum.
 
If your goal is to mag dump until the Can is chery red then the Rebel silencers aren’t for you. If your goal is to make a hunting rifle more pleasant to shoot then it will probably fit the bill. Their advertised warrant sounds pretty good from what I remember. But, you’re in for $200 and a several month wait for ANY suppressor, and a suppressor is a lifetime purchase because there really isn’t a used market to speak of. I think they would be a good economical can for an occasional shooter, but will let someone else be the tester for a match environment.
