You wouldn't need the Nomax since that's for rounds larger than 30 cal. The regular Nomad L would be good. The Anthem-L/Mach-L are also very high performing.
The Vent 1 is the quietest according to Pew Science but I can't recommend PTR products due to various issues.
You could technically use the same can on your 7.62x39 (with some sort of QD system to move the can around freely), but there's a good chance the high backpressure will make it unbearably gassy and have a lot of port pop (louder near the shooter's ear).
Tisha 762, Carson 762, CAT ODB are all worth looking. These all have reduced backpressure which is nice to have on automatic hosts.
You could also use this can on your 5.56 rifle, but you'll get lower performance than a dedicated 5.56 can, all other things equal.
Tisha 5.56, Rhodie, Infinity 556k, CAT WB, Velos, Carson 556, T&K Havik are all great for 5.56.

The LPM Torch 762 is a fantastic performer and durable (Inconel), but pretty heavy which isn't great for some builds and use cases.
If you want something shorter, I'd check out the Tisha 762. It's still heavy, but won't feel as bad because of the length.
These are both HUB threaded and will use a HUB adapter.

Plan-B is pretty popular for mounting. We have a 1/2-28 facemount brake which will work with any Plan-B adapter.
As far as suppressor choice, you've mentioned wanting durability. That points you towards something Inconel or similar.
Do you have a budget for this? That would help narrow down the options further.
Comstock_Support
What's your budget? And for the bolt gun, how much are you valuing length vs overall sound suppression? You can get a super long 9" can that's very quiet, a short 5" model that's not nearly as quiet, or something in between depending on your priorities and preferences.
Lots of great options out there, as you've found!
Comstock_Support
I'd consider a Tisha TI for something to keep the gun from being front heavy.
Torch 762 is also a very high performer, but very heavy.

How'd the Mamba 556 compare to the other Ridgeback 5.56 cans (Rhodie, Rhino)?
Comstock_Support
Should work pretty well. I think the HRT blast baffle is somewhere around 1.5" deep, so you'll have plenty of clearance with the micro brake and RPA.

We've had a huge surge in demand for Plan-B parts so a lot of new projects have been pushed back. I still want to do them at some point, but realistically we won't be getting to 24mm devices for quite a while.

As far as I've found, there's no real low backpressure cans in the $500 range. The ones I've tried that were advertised as such left me very disappointed.
For not too much more, you can get an Infinity 556k which actually has reduced backpressure and solid sound performance. It's well worth the price difference for a nice upgrade imo.
The one other thing I'll note is the Canik Void cans which are a little cheaper, but I don't have any experience with them so can't say either way how they are.

It's a Plan-B pattern flash hider, so it'll work with a suppressor with a Plan-B adapter.
Comstock_Support
It's not super long, but with it mounted near the back of the receiver it hasn't been an issue for me.
The other option would be to use a dot with a 3x flip magnifier. Pros and cons.
Comstock_Support
I've used the Burris 3x prism. I don't have other prism scopes to compare it to, but it's fairly lightweight (unlike an LPVO) and seems reasonably nice.

There's been a bunch of reports of DA mounting parts being installed crazy tight. If it won't come off, you can contact them and get it sent back under warranty.
Comstock_Support
Probably, but I don't have on hand to check. The barrel shoulder diameter is the main measurement you're looking for.
As far as a list of barrels, it would basically just be a list of like 95% of all barrels on the market which ends up not being super useful.
Comstock_Support
Yes, the micro brake is only available with a recessed base. The compact and full size brakes have a standard (non-recessed) base.
Effectively it's just shifting the wrench flat portion over the barrel so everything sits a little shorter.
Any barrel up to 0.75" diameter (which is a majority of barrels) will work. Anything larger than that will not fit and should use a non-recessed muzzle device.

As a starting point, I would check Q's documentation and instructions to see how they recommend installing the adapter.
Rocksett is pretty easy to remove, especially from suppressors. What I do:
- Leave it submerged in water overnight -> torque it off the next day (the slow way)
- Put it mount side down in a sonic cleaner for 10 minutes -> torque it off right away (the fast way)
Just make sure you only use one or two drops and not the whole bottle.
As always, Rocksett does not replace torque. You need sufficient torque regardless of whether or not you use Rocksett.

See r/3D2A or r/3Dprinting

It's solid on an AR9. Fairly low backpressure and good sound. I have one in a tucked build.
That said, it's noticeably outperformed by full size, dedicated PCC cans like the Rico.
Comstock_Support
I use Slip 2k EWG, but pretty much any gun grease will work.
Comstock_Support
That's a fantastic first suppressor! The Mojave is one of my favorite handgun cans.
Remember to grease up the piston and O-ring before you put it all back together :)
Comstock_Support
Correct, both are the Incolite on an XDM.
Comstock_Support
Totally fair on not wanting a brake, they're awful to shoot unsuppressed lol.
Since you already have the Inconel Tisha, I'd say run that first to see how you like it and only go TI if it makes the gun too front heavy for your taste.
Comstock_Support
Neat! Glad they're getting 9mm cans out. The 5.56 Carson is solid too.
Comstock_Support
As a starting point, if you care about sparking/flash, you'll want to go with Inconel.
That aside, I would have a mild leaning towards the Inconel because:
- Even without FRT use, if you're regularly shooting classes, you probably shoot a lot more than the average person and will eventually get up to high total round counts
- Flash hiders give much less baffle protection than brakes (although the FHL specifically still gives some)
However, you could certainly also make the argument for titanium because you have:
- A medium length barrel - not super short like a MK18
- An extended adapter which gives much more space for gasses to diffuse - 0.44" baffle clearance is effectively miles
A lot of this comes down to how much the extra roughly 7 oz of weight will affect your shooting over time. If you're a taller/larger dude, you might be perfectly comfortable with the added weight and can go Inconel without any concerns. But if you're a smaller individual where that weight will make a difference in comfort and overall shootability, I'd probably go TI. I don't think you're at a super high risk of excessive erosion either way.


Of course! And honestly there's not a huge difference in sound between a lot of the newer high performing cans, so you don't need to get too hung up on it within reason. Like side by side I can pick out Suppressor A is a bit quieter than Suppressor B, but on their own range days they're both fantastic.
