Pressure signs from suppressor?

[WoolyBugger]

Perhaps you’re getting enough carbon built up in the can where it’s not a problem?

I was interested in the Reaper. I think I’ll keep an eye on this phenomenon a bit more prior to buying one. I can always buy another TBAC and know I’ll be happy.

I have no horse in this race but I wouldn't let my pressure signs discourage you from buying a reaper. I'm willing to bet I could have put any model can on and had the same thing happen.

The Reaper has less back pressure than standard TBAC cans.

Do you guys have a way to measure this?

The Ultra 7 I have indeed has quite a bit of back pressure. It’s a no go on my gas guns. That being said, I’ve not dealt with pressure issues discussed on this thread from that can on several different calibers and cartridges.

why is it a no go on the gas gun?

Because it has significant back pressure, it’s a gassy mess in your face. I purchased flow through cans for my gassers and have been happy with the results.

Agreed, it’s by far the lightest and quietest can I own.

I Only brought up my observations as a means to get feedback from guys with more experience than myself on the particular situation

They don’t yet. But cyclic rate can be measured to show over-gas issues.

For function, brass ejection is the easy way.

The issues being talked about, are not primarily a suppressed issue.

Just ordered a Reaper yesterday, I'm curious to see how it stacks up to some of my other longer cans

I tried an adjustable gas block, different buffers, and springs and wasn’t satisfied with the results. I went to the flow through cans and tuned them right up.

You’re talking about auto loaders. Tracking.
