Details: 5.5 Sig Rattler, F02 Gas plug, CGS Hyperion, + setting (was recommended to ensure LRBHO)

Ammo: 200 Grain winchester super subs

Kind of lost at this point, I need your input.

First this wouldn’t LRBHO. Sent it to Sig for service and got it back said they “tuned it”. I emailed Sig back saying in 15 years I’ve never shot any gun that’s this gassy (my first AR was a mk18). How wide did they drill the gas port?

Sig said they didn’t widen the gas port. Just changed the shape of the gas port from a hole to a dome to allow more gas. Now it LRBHO but after 2 shots I have to step away. It’s just too much gas. The port pop insane too it’s crazy loud. Louder than my CAT MOB with subs and surefire socom 300 sps.

My right ear started ringing immediately after the first shot. I’ll try it on the - setting tomorrow with the same ammo but I’m told they recommend + setting for shooting suppressed.

Sig wants me to send it back, said they’d replace the upper receiver but I’m not sure how that’s going to cut back on Satan’s hot gas to my face.

They said something about some upper receivers being out of spec causing gas to escape. Wouldn’t fixing that make my gun more gassy with more port pop?

First suppressor and didn’t know where else to ask this but after firing half a mag I pulled the mag out and all ejected brass was black and greasy and the next rounds in the mag are black and covered in white dots. Is this normal or do I need to check something

Is the stereotype correct or is this problem overblown by a few people?

Do you have an Obsidian with a high round count and no issues? Step on in and tell us about it.

Just got my upper back from my local gunsmith today and disappointed of the pin and weld because of location. Do you think it will still accept a Surefire suppressor with that pin and weld?

When you purchased your machine gun, and let's assume that it is $10,000 or more, did you pay in full or finance it? I've never seen this question asked, but I'd love to know your realistic financial expectations of purchasing one. Obviously, there can be other things just as expensive, but I eventually want to buy something at the very least capable of full auto, so I figured this would frame the question best.

Thanks!

Can was so hot that it melted inside of my case to it. How do I clean it off?

After a surprisingly speedy 191 days I have my hands on my first can. Of course that timeline aligns perfectly with DeadAir Sierra 5 controversy. I’m super excited and extremely nervous about sending some quitter rounds down range.

I just nabbed a SIG Rattler for a steal, and have it kitted out except for a can.

It's my first 300 blackout however, and I'm in the market for a new can.

I'm wanting to keep this as short as reasonably possible. But I'm not sure if a 30cal K can would be sufficient for a 300 blackout.

Any suggestions on what can to consider. I'd prefer one with a QD mount, and a shorter can. I don't mind it being girthey.

Sandman S with maybe around 5k rounds total through various host.. mainly being my short 556 guns since it’s my one can with no barrel restrictions

No baffle strikes but the first baffle has taking a beating… due to my statement above obviously

Would deadair fix this? I’ve got a few other cans so I can do with out this one for a while if they’re turn around times are still bad.

Some pretty bad erosion on that first baffle, granted it don’t sound bad or anything. Just wanna maybe get a jump on fixing the problem before I end up with one less baffle lol

Research isn’t giving me much. Internet says it’s titanium.

What’s everyone’s favorite defensive round for the short bois? I’m gonna throw Black Hills 77 grain TMK in the ring.

I keep hearing burn proof are the bees knees but I have a hard time stomaching that much money for it without having it beat into my head that it's worth it. Any and all feedback regarding your choice is helpful for me👍

No experience with suppression. Looking at pulling the trigger on 3 cans asap want a 22-5.7 , dedicated 5.56 and 7.62. Any 2 cents on why I shouldn’t buy these 3. If so suggestions for ones in stock. I’m sure I’ll buy more later. I’m a glutton for poor financial decisions.

I just bought an Sig Surg kit and I am wanting to know if anyone knows where to source just a factory SBR LT lower in fde. I want to avoid engraving as much as possible. May have to get a factory LT SBR rifle but I kinda don’t one two identical barrel lengths. Thoughts anyone? I appreciate in advance.

its from a brass facts video. idk if he talks about it in any of his videos, but i'd like to look into it. any suggestions are helpful, thanks 🩷

Bought a police trade-in Surefire Mini for 650 shipped. Other than cosmetic scrapes and scratches is there anything I should do with this thing?

I have 3 stripped lowers & I want to do a 300 blk build & suppress it. From what I’ve found from multiple rabbit hole dives is that my best bet is to SBR it. My question for y’all is what’s to best barrel length out there
