New LaRue can
Check this out:

I kind of like the idea of being able to pin that flash hider onto a short barrel and avoid the tax stamp..,

Re: New LaRue can
I never got the idea of permanently attaching a can to a host, with the exception of 22lr.
I use my .30 cal can on 6 different hosts right now.. and it's not even one of the hybrid multi caliber ones. I'd rather pay an additional SBR tax stamp than have 6 different cans/stamps.
I do like the protective mesh idea.... I can't tell you how many times someone asked to shoot my can and after a few mag dumps, they would lay it on something that would melt (sand bag, bed liner, gun case, small children, etc)

Re: New LaRue can
Agreed, but on this you’re just attaching the long flash hider.

Re: New LaRue can
Yeah, but if I wanted to mount that on say an 18" barrel SPR, then I will have to mount the 8" (or however long) flash hider to my 18" barrel? Or even a 16" barrel.

Re: New LaRue can
Right. I think the idea of it in that regard is to pin to a 10.5 or 11.5 lower and avoid the tax stamp... I wouldn’t put it on anything longer than that anyway. The main purpose of it is to avoid baffle strikes, but not sure how big of an issue that is

Re: New LaRue can
It's been done for years but I like larue's take on it baring no hands on experience yet. Here's griffins simple go at it http://www.griffinarmament.com/Spart...er-p/gasp3.htm
Sig also tried to do this with the mpx-c by creating a monocore "muzzle brake" kinda like larues except the ATF shot their design down unfortunately. The theory was the outer tube would be the serialized suppressor. I guess the ATF figured it be too easy to thread a plain tube to slip over the muzzle brake, It looks awesome.

Re: New LaRue can
Not really the same thing as the mpx.... Sig tried to play it off as it wasn't a suppressor baffle.
Larue isn't trying to say it's not a suppressor baffle, they are just using it as a muzzle device to get the barrel length.
So Larue is trying to avoid the $200 SBR tax stamp.... Sig tried to avoid the $200 silencer tax stamp

Re: New LaRue can
Reread what I wrote. I said sig tried to pass it as a muzzlebreak. They encorporated a monocore break to avoid the sbr tax and in turn if you wanted to register the brake as a silencer, you could buy the tube and pay the tax on the outer sleeve. Not all different from large at all, just more obvious a monocore baffle.

Re: New LaRue can
The brake , not break, on the MPX-C was hardly a brake. It was the actual baffles of the silencer. All you had to do was put the a tube over the brake on the MPX-c and you were in silencer mode.
There are actual baffles inside the Larue silencer. The permanently attached brake just acts as a sacrificial chamber, as any normal brake on a host.
