That's great to know. I remember reading it in there and thought that it was pretty sneaky how they just mentioned it in that one spot but don't say anything about it on the website or anywhere else that I had seen. Thanks for calling and reporting back. Every time I call them I'm impressed with their customer service which is another reason I'm glad I went out on a limb a couple years back and got one when no one knew anything about them.
I don't give a damn about what it looks like as long as it performs which is a good thing in this case!
Not sure but it makes sense. I've ran it flush mounted on my 9" 300blk and the backpressure is unreal with a 10 stack. I called them because I was thinking about getting a warthog 5.56 to slap on an AR and told then my experience. They said the sweet spot is between 4 and 6 baffles on gas guns in relation to backpressure. The warthog or a-10 is a 5 baffle can. Obviously with no reflex.
Didn't sig design some cans specifically to minimalize blow back?
No clue but there are plenty of cans out there that are flow through style meant for gas guns.
They didn't mention if the extra volume would hurt or help. I can only imagine it would help though.
What diameter are the barrels it'd be going on?
Barrels will be Tikka light or similar. Mostly just debating what length to get. I'm a fan of short, light, minimal recoil and noise. I know there are trade offs. I'll probably go with a 3" and just leave it on whatever gun I'm going to elk hunt with, but interested in thoughts of experienced folks. Thanks!
Doesn't seem too worth the $50 in my mind to swap it and then never be able to use it on a larger barrel diameter, just my $0.02. If you want light you'll go direct thread, if you want max volume then get a 5" standard one, otherwise just save your money and run the 3" bull barrel imho.
I'm considering going with max volume 5" and then being able to direct thread for hunting but that goes against my goal of getting away from swapping stuff around.Doesn't seem too worth the $50 in my mind to swap it and then never be able to use it on a larger barrel diameter, just my $0.02.

I believe the standard can go over a 0.75" barrel and the bull is 1" but I'd confirm with AB if its not on their site. That's why I asked, just make sure whatever you're putting it on can fit the standard and you'll be fine
You've already said you're swapping the can around, what's the difference unscrewing the suppressor from the reflex compared to spinning it off a barrel? Basically nothing.
Seems like maybe an 1/8" of radius difference on the inside so minimal. Here's another consideration, are you ever gonna use a threaded adapter? Cause if you are the larger diameter bull barrel can fit a socket into it if the adapter decides to spin off in the reflex rather than stay with the barrel.
OK. Thanks for saving me $50.
^ for clarity here IF you use a reflex larger magnum calibers require a min 2” reflex. You can run flush mount or reflex >2” (not the 1”).
When I read it I took it as any magnum needs a 2" reflex or larger but you're saying that you can run it flush?
I read it the same as you. Running 7.62 or smaller diameter, you can run flush. But if running magnum calibers it requires a minimum 2” reflex. If you use between 7.62 and .338 with a magnum caliber, a minimum 3” reflex is required.
