    With all the coin I have tied up in suppressors $50 for an alignment rod didn’t bankrupt me. Invest in them, they are worth the insurance.

    I agree. Also, I’ve had the range I’m a member of check it with their rod for free as well. The same place I purchased the suppressor and shoot. Nice service giving the $$ we spend shooting.

    I agree and I should probably get at least one for my 5.56 guns, since I'll be moving that suppressor around on multiple firearms.

    I use ASR and love it, Most of my rifles have the Lantac Dragon ASR which performs great and looks awesome. I also have the SiCo ASR muzzle break and the SiCo ASR closed tine flash hider which are pretty awesome too. 😎

    Q plan B is shorter than rearden. Also Q plan B is shorter and lighter than ASR. Direct thread should basically only be used on bolt guns, as they will come loose with semi auto fire.

    In the opening scene, you're wearing hearing protection. I was wondering if that suppressor lowered the noise enough to shoot without hearing protection? My next suppressor will be a QD.

  • @msquared9605

    In my opinion, no matter the caliber you’re shooting suppressed, they’re only hearing safe for a few shots at most. The sonic crack of the bullet starts to really mess with you, along with the suppressor to cartridge/barrel length combo making it not quite hearing safe. The only sustained fire that’s truly hearing safe is subsonic suppressed. And even that’s still pretty loud. I mean rack the hell out of your ar while shouldered. The bolt cycling is still fairly loud
