Actually the first release won't fit over a carbon barrel diameter, those larger diameters cans for target/carbon barrel profiles will come at a later date. They want to focus on mounting it to actual hunting rifle which typically means smaller diameter barrels.
On the prototype it was from the end of threads not tip of barrel.are we talking 4" from the muzzle or 4" from the end of the threads? (3.5" from the muzzle with the reflex 4.5" from the muzzle, or 4 and 4 from the muzzle)
Trying to decide if I SBR my howa mini and use it with a raptor 8 (OAL barrel 16.3") or keep it at 16" with the UM supressor (OAL barrel ~20") Guess I am paying for a tax stamp either way
16.25" or longer howa mini shouldn't be a SBR no? Or you going shorter than that? I'd not want to deal with the SBR stamp, traveling across state lines, getting permission to do so wirh SBR. Just keep the muzzle at 16", and add can. Idk if you drop it into an elf owl chassis it could now be classified as a pistol? And get away with a legal shorter barrel under 16".are we talking 4" from the muzzle or 4" from the end of the threads? (3.5" from the muzzle with the reflex 4.5" from the muzzle, or 4 and 4 from the muzzle)

Barrel Chop Probably saves me 4", 5oz and 900$, but then I don't get a shiny new supressor.
it's currently 16.25. Thinking of having it cut to about 10" in a stockies stock. The barrel would be pretty much flush with the end of the fore end so the only thing past the fore end would be the supressor. I actually have 2 Mini actions, so I would probably keep one at 16.25 and SBR the other.
I emailed them and asked. They said not initially. But silencer shop, yes.
Thanks.
I believe Form said they would produce versions for sporter barrels and a Sendero. Honestly, I cannot see the point of putting a Sendero on a hunting rifle, carbon or otherwise. Additionally a reflex set up for a bull barrel will have less volume and be less effective unless they made the OD larger. That will also make the can heavier.
Good post, even though its plainly stated ultimate db reduction isnt the main design objective of this UM can. I would like to think/hope a 3d printed can could have a more complex baffle design that should allow it to easily outperform the raptor 4 stack(its an obnoxiously loud one in my experience). We may not be able to percieve it at our ear as twice as loud, but 3db is a big difference and would definitely sound louder between suppressors side by side. I think OSHA says the allowable exposure time goes down by half per 3db increase but I may be off on that
4.5db is a lot.
Yes , in the context of the dB scale. That is with the 3" reflex though. I'd like to see what a 5" does with that can. And as noted above, the UM can is geared more towards tone instead of dB and their goal is sub 140dB for 4" in front and behind muzzle
Its hard to critique something that doesn't really exist in its final form at this point. But, a suppressor at 140dB, is not even close to being competitive at the $1,000 price point.
