Re: YHM 7.62 Phantom Owners
I love mine. Makes shooting all day very pleasant. My POI shifts high about 1/2" at 100 yards. I haven't found any decrease in accuracy out to 600 yards.

Re: YHM 7.62 Phantom Owners
Good to hear, have you shot with any other 308 guys with other brand suppressors to compare the sound reduction?

Re: YHM 7.62 Phantom Owners
I run one on a Rem LTR. With 175s there is a 3 MOA shift at 100 yds. (I have to crank in 3 MOA of elevation. Windage is good to go.

Re: YHM 7.62 Phantom Owners
My QD model only shifts .3 MOA to the left on my 06 AI. Will be checking the 308 soon.

Re: YHM 7.62 Phantom Owners
Russ, do you notice any accuracy issues with the QD model? The guy I bought mine from said he uses both the thread on and QD on his 700 and noticed quite a bit of accuracy increase going from the QD to the threaded model.
He also said hes been using a YHM 5.56 on one of his AR's for something like 40,000 rounds with no problems whatsoever. It sold it for me that he has access to any suppressor brand available and he uses YHM exclusively.

Re: YHM 7.62 Phantom Owners
I have 2 and working on my 3rd YHM phantom 7.62 you cant go wrong with the thread on or QD. All of mine are QD and I barely have to adjust my elevation at 100 windage im good.
I really dig their cans for the money. SWR also makes a badass can for the 308
The Omega 30. I love that can on my GAP Hospitaller

Re: YHM 7.62 Phantom Owners
Well Im glad to hear everyone likes theirs, very good news. The cost was what first turned me onto them, and then I had heard very good things about them 2nd hand, now you guys confirm it first hand.
Cant wait to get mine (in July probly, dammit!)

Re: YHM 7.62 Phantom Owners
only had the can on paper to 300 and it shoots 1.5 inch groups in the wind.... It'll do better than me.
I did put 3 shots inside of 10 inches at 1010 yards, but that was no test, just playing.

Re: YHM 7.62 Phantom Owners
Mine seemed to tighten groups by about 30-50% on my primary rifle (QD setup) My POA/POI changed pretty significantly, probably because of a relatively long, light barrel (I'm guessing) but after after dialing it in and re-zeroing... it kicks ass!!!
I'm still playing around with the second .308, the .300WM and the 5.56mm (using the same Phantom Suppressor).
Overal, very happy that I got the YHM with QD!

Re: YHM 7.62 Phantom Owners

Re: YHM 7.62 Phantom Owners
Just sent them out today.
I didnt realize each Class 3 dealer has a designated examiner at the BATFE. And Scott informed me that his guy is usually very quick, so I could very well see it back in 6-8 weeks!
I sure hope so, but wont hold my breath just incase.
If the company I bought the can from sent out the form 3 the day I bought it (not sure if they did), the form 3 took 15 days.

My examiner is Andrew Ashton, he rocks, problem is the slowdown appears to be the data entry people who handle the forms before they get to the examiner, but the form 3 for Jon's YHM was pretty quick, so hopefully they hired some more data entry people and they will be kicking ass on transfers again.

Re: YHM 7.62 Phantom Owners
Remember approved doesn't mean thats the day it ends up in your hands. There is still the lag of them sending it to the mailroom to get sent out.

Re: YHM 7.62 Phantom Owners
Oh, well I'm probably in better shape than you are then. My dealer already had my cans.
I sent my form 4's on feb 4th. Check was cashed within 2 weeks. Who knows when I'll actually get my stamps.
Some people are waiting 6 months... while others are getting them back in 6 weeks. Crazy time right now.

Re: YHM 7.62 Phantom Owners
tighten against the barrel itself.
Instructions state a torque spec, but I can't remember it off the top of my head.

Re: YHM 7.62 Phantom Owners
Sure wish they were as quick to approve the form 4 as they are to steal your money! I just mailed mine out last tuesday the 24th and they already cashed my check at the latest yesterday the 30th! May have been earlier because it showed up on my online banking yesterday.
They must have someone there that their sole job description is to open these envelopes, and as soon as they do take the check directly to the bank...or however it is the government cashes a check.
What would happen if you werent even approved? You would think they could wait until you are approved to cash the check.

Im assuming you ordered it through your class 3 from YHM direct?
When I bought mine Scott said YHM was 5-6 weeks backed up on making them, plus 2 weeks for Form 3. That could be your problem. Luckily I found one in stock and only had to wait 10 days for the Form 3.

I ordered it from my dealer, he said he would order it from YHM and it would be about 8 weeks. But when I called YHM, they said they were out of stock on the 7.62 QD. It would be 14 weeks on the suppressor and 8 weeks for ATF.
Still waiting patiently on that call.

Re: YHM 7.62 Phantom Owners
Got to shoot my can yesterday and last night (Thanks Scott!).
Other manufacturers shooting were:
Thunderbeast
SRT Arms XL
Shark Tigershark
If you never picked up the cans you wouldve never been able to tell the difference between them. One guy watching actually commented to me that mine appeared to be the quietest and had the least muzzle flash of the bunch...although it should be noted that we were all shooting different loads and some were hotter than mine.
I am very happy with the YHM, I just cant wait to "possess" it now. Definitely need to order my TAB cover for it, mirage was killing me, especially during the night shoot.
My POI shifted 1.5" down, but accuracy was perfect.

Re: YHM 7.62 Phantom Owners
I just wanted to say that I am officially part of the phantom club.. I found one in stock and bought it last tuesday. Just waiting on my form 3 for the transfer to scott and then will need to wait on my form 4 paperwork. I already have my trust and everything set up and form 4 downloaded and filled out ready to send to Scott.
And as an fyi.. I officially hate jonaddis84 for convincing me to get a can but happy that I will be part of the Class 3 club.
