It felt really solid yet not very heavy. Plus, it only adds 4". It feels way sturdier than my Scythe.

When I talked to Ryan at the show about it, I mentioned my Scythe has a ping sound to it. He state this will have a very different sound to it, even though it is Titanium. I really like my Scythe (regardless of perceived sound), but I will be buying one of these.

So, what’s the best method of super tightening a direct thread suppressor when the suppressor covers the mount? Strap wrench?
I think most of us just use a wrist snap and call it good. As you use it, carbon builds up on the threads and acts as a bit of a thread locker, even when removing and putting it back on regularly.

I went to anti seize paste after I had to take the rubber mallet to an ultra 7. That or shoot it hot and grab the oven kit.

We’ll form has in the past been pretty vocal about actually torquing direct threads only

All my cans are taper mounts at this point until possibly this one so I have no experience in that area and just wondered since I remembered seeing that on here

A lot of times this works. Sometimes chucking the rifle in a vice and hitting it with MAN or a strap wrench is the only thing that’ll stop it backing off. I had a scythe like that. Maybe I should be glad all of its baffles were trying to escape at the same rate ;)

So a strap wrench, cool
I'm not sure I'd use a strap wrench if the direct thread adapter is Ti. I'm not sure what would happen, but doesn't seem like a great idea.

I found it also helps keep it tight if you shoot it to get it hot, then additionally tighten by hand as much as possible.
