Capital Armory in Austin has installment plan options. Seriously.

A few YouTube videos just came out about these cans. Looks very interesting.

Helluva deal w/the comp and sights. I just wish the 6.5 had been 6.8 to cover more calibers. But I would get the .30 cal if I were not contemplating fleeing the Peoples Republic of Minnesota soon.

I’m all over a .30 cal version

I did some looking around and the .30 cal versions are both shorter and lighter. The .30 cal can loses about 5oz and 1 inch vs the Recce 7 but you give up 5 db of performance with full power ammo. On 300BLK I think the performance is about the same or better than the 7 just in a smaller package.
The 5.56 version is also about 5Db louder than the Recce 5 but its shorter and lighter as well.

Hansohn Brothers said they were so impressed with the EXPLORR line, they weren’t going to carry the Recce or Paladin lines anymore, in 5.56 or 7.62. That says a lot

Ya, there’s a thread in ar15dotcom where a griffin industries worker is chiming in about these.
He says that the 6.5” 308 cans are definitely ear safe.
He said there a high speed/good materials option at a lower cost as some features aren’t there or different from their other cans.

I find myself wanting to call b.s. on that claim. My Alpha tames my .308, but I'm not taking off my ear pro.
You only have so much hearing, and it doesn't recover. Pete Townsend couldn't hear a jet engine next to him, and he tried for years to save his hearing.
I'd love to be proven wrong, and I'd especially like to see a compelling price. As much of a like him or don't guy KMFB is, I am falling for the cherry bomb method of attaching cans to barrels. As IMO, the taper mount is hands down the best way to attach, putting the threads after the taper makes sense, as does his theory that the problem with G.A. cans is carbon lock as a result of the design.Last edited by Joelski; 21 March 2019 at 20:39.

Anyone claiming a .308 can is hearing safe is a fool or a liar.

I've seen people argue online about that and honestly it's a pretty stupid topic to even discuss. The differences are so minute it makes hardly no difference if both systems are maintained. If the shooter is a complete lazy ass and knows he's a lazy ass then by all means go threads after. If he doesn't want to take his can off the rifle for a year, fine. On the other hand the taper surface on the can and mount itself is the most critical part to getting the best most consistent lock up and alignment. If your taper gets fouled up it can have other issues. Wiping down the mount with a greasy old rag and wiping off the taper surface on the can every once in a while is not too much to ask.
Sometimes I think people just hunt for a reason to fight.
