    I did not! :) There is a lot of action on the forum here and sometimes things fall through the cracks. Now though some of your shots are not there...

    On a side note I would think you would have to shoot an obscene amount of ammo to be able to wear out that muzzle brake :) Even if it is a sacrificial blast baffle it seems to me it would take years to wear that out.

    That brings up another question... I wonder if you can wear out a suppressor? Assuming the mount stays OK... I wonder how much you have to shoot to wear it out? Assuming you don't do full auto mag dumps all the time... just regular shooting... I would guess the round count would be pretty high.

    If you shot only on a 10.5" rifle, you'd see a pretty deep erosion in the brake after 5-6k rounds.



    See erosion timeline by WI57 about 1/3 way down

    These pics show that the shape of the blast baffle is crucial for longevity and also how thin the AAC end caps are. Otherwise that M42K was taking a beating on F/A


    And yes, you CAN wear out a...can, but you'd likely wear out a few barrels in the process (assuming no premature catastrophic failure due to wobbly mount or other non-ideal condition)

    DAMN! Those pics of that guy's brake were crazy! Based on his can and that he burned the finish off of it it seems like he shoots a whole lot harder than I do. That said that is a very eye opening thing right there.

    Thanks for sharing that. WEVO never disappoints... I am always learning stuff around here.
