Dedicated 6mm ARC AR can?

Says the guy who eats a face full of gas on every round fired.

I'm even shooting LH, and I don't notice all the gas I've heard about. Maybe because I get it unsuppressed too and just don't notice.

I sure don’t, contrary to what you might think.

Is this on one gun or on several? Gas port size and barrel length also make a difference.

I will suggest the AB Suppressor A-10 5.56 can. It's $450, lightweight, built of steel, and is rated for 6mm ARC use. The owner told me recently that it was optimized for 14.5-inch 6mm ARCs.

I don't think it's the quietest suppressor, but if you're using it on an autoloader, the action noise will be loud anyways. As for low back pressure BS, just tweak the rifle if gas issues bother you. Start with heavier buffer, then adjustable gas block or carrier. Do not get a "low back pressure" can. All they are is less effective suppressors.

How does the Sandman X do on it?

love the sandman X on my .308 builds, haven't fired the 6mm arc at all yet. First range trip this weekend. Checked headspacing was the only time something was ever chambered in the gun.

I've run quite a few cans to include scythe, omega 36M, cat noah and ultra 5 on my three 6 ARCs. They all do well with an adjustable gas block. Love my CAT NOAH ti hub (discontinued). Flow through is nice and the gun doesn't get near a dirty. Ridgeback Rodie 6j or For systems recce ti will be my next 6mm can.

Agree with this. It’s hard to beat that A-10 for weight, durability, and cost. Some dislike them because they resemble a black sex toy, but I have a Raptor and am man enough to be okay with putting it on my guns.

...they resemble a black sex toy...

I knew there was another reason why I liked this can

On any AR platform that I’ve used, in everything from personal to professional use. Ammo from 55gr FMJ to 77gr OTM. Several different suppressors. Barrel lengths from 7.5-20”. I’ve shot the platform in 233, 556, 223 wylde, 6.5 Grendel, 6 ARC, and 300BO.

I’ve shot rifles from Daniel defense, colt, H&K, Sig, ROC River, Stag arms, BCM, KAC, LaRue, Wilson Combat, Noveske, LMT and LWRC.

I don’t use adjustable gas blocks or anything but a carbine buffer tube and spring with an H3 buffer.

I realize it’s a real thing. I have been shooting/using an AR platform for 30 years now and haven’t had gas in my face from a suppressor since my first deployment. Since then it’s been a non issue.
