Dedicated 6mm ARC AR can?

[PaulC92]

Recently wrapped up my 6mm arc build. Looking to get a dedicated 6mm arc can.


Breakdown of build ( BCM upper/HG, proof carbon fiber 18" barrel, odin agb, odin bcg, rise charging handle) (aero lower, rise trigger, radian ambi safety, cmmg parts kit, geiselle h2 buffer setup *this might be changing* magpul prs gen3. NF NX8 and ultramount.

Shooting factory Hornadys for the time being 108gr match, and 103gr precision hunter.

Thanks in advance for recommendations.

If you’re willing to tune your rifle to the increased back pressure I would check out the diligent defense wolf hunter. For a less budget friendly can, thunder beast is always a quality option.

definitely don't mind tuning the rifle at all, I have my dead air sandman X to use for the time being, plan on taking it to the range this weekend to break in the barrel and try to get used to the gun.

I assume you all are using adjustable gas blocks to Tune the ARs to a suppressor?
Just curious as ill have to do this on 3 ARs that my Ti XC will be going back and forth between.

CAT Noah always seemed like a nice option for an application like that to me.

My sample of one, I kept the factory fixed gas block and got a custom smaller diameter gas tube and put a heavier JP SCS spring with heavier buffer. Without that it was miserable with gas with both a tbac u7 and OCL polo k.

Couple questions, What buffer did you go with the A5 buffer vs rifle buffer system?
Also how much does it weigh without the suppressor?
I have an 18” Shaw coming with a PRI upper and Superlative AGB. Parts come Friday so I’m excited. Not sure which buffer tube and stock I’m going with yet.

I am using adjustable gas block on a few of my recent builds to fine tune to the cans.

I dont know an exact weight, i need to get it on the scale and check it. I had no frame of reference other than online post about the 6mm arc, so i found alot of people start with the H2 setup and work around from there. I found a decent deal on the Geiselle kit, so i bought it. After my first range day i am sure ill be changing some components. I went with the Odin Works AGB, because i have used it with good results on some .308 builds, but id really like to try the suplerlative AGB soon.

I’ve never built an AR that will be 99% suppressed so the gas system thing is new to me. Final decision is what buffer length and what stock. Thanks for the info.

I use B&T 7.62 on my 6arc. They reduce back pressure, so I can go back and forth without any tuning.

I haven't, can has stayed on it, but now I'm thinking of cutting a BOSS break off a BAR and starting to use that gun again.

I don't want to really have cans dedicated to a certain gun, because I change my mind. If you are really just always going to use that can with that gun then tune the gas block and get whatever. I like being able to move stuff around a bit if I want.

Whats currently interesting me the most are the Airlock, where I'd look for 6 or 6.5mm cans.

@PaulC92
Which Adj gas block are you using?
I need to get a couple as my new to me suppressor I am picking up today will end up on multiple ARs I have at one point or another.

I have the odin works adjustable gas blocks on 4 builds, with no issues. Alot of folks say good things about the superlative units as well though.

Any carbon locking on your adjustable gas blocks? I am trying to avoid using one on my current 11.5 by tuning the buffer and spring. If I need to go further, I will replace the gas tube.

Also on the 6 mm cans, I don’t own one but Silencer Analytics says a lot of good things about the Ridgeback Rhodie. Look up his channel on YouTube.

Cat Noah or VB6 will be your best options imho.

I have a Noah on a 18" 1-7" Montana. I like it just fine. I think I'll get a Nano for it but the Noah is a good one.
