If the Reardon SPB happens to time up correctly without a shim, then don’t use one. Degrease all male and female threads, put a thin bead of Rocksett at 12 o’clock, and torque to spec. If there’s no spec, go to 20ft/lbs.
If it needs a shim, I recommend Precision Armament shims, so that...
In our ultrasonic tank, with the Simple Green Extreme Aircraft & Precision Cleaner, I’ve run hundreds of aluminum, polymer, titanium, and Cerakoted parts with no issues. I’ve run my AAC Prodigy aluminum can through it more than once with no issues.
It will remove/soften rattle can paint, and...
I usually run them in our tank for 30mins.
As long as it's an ultrasonic tank intended for firearms use, it will work. I'm not sure about ones intended for jewelry and such. May not be as......robust.
I run cans through the ultrasonic tank here at TruPrep for folks. We use the Simple Green Extreme Aircraft and Precision Cleaner. Very safe for aluminium, titanium, unobtainium, etc. We've never had any issues with that solution on everything we've run through.
The standard, original...
I’m doing one later this year, a la Mad Max. Can’t say why, just always wanted one. I’ve already got the donor gun, just need to do the Form 1 and then the work.
Should help. In unsuppressed guns it completely eliminates bolt carrier bounce. Few years back, the Marine Corps tested all the proprietary buffer systems, comparing them to the full-size M16A2 buffer system. The Vltor A5 system beat them all for reliability, including the M16A2 rifle system.
I can’t comment in the length, but the Vltor A5 buffer system is the tits. You can buy as a complete kit, or a la carte. I use the A5H3 buffer with my 11.5” barrels, along with the Sprinco green buffer spring.......but that’s the shortest length I’ve built.
I got away from piston AR’s quite a while ago, so I don’t have any experience with this set up.
I do know that since the piston set up vents excess gas to the outside, it will be louder than a comparable DI setup when suppressed. Depending upon a lot of factors, 5-15dB increase over a DI...

I don’t need any recommendations on a different can, just need experience/feedback/opinions on this 1 specific suppressor. Happy to hear how it compares to other popular cans, if you’ve actually used all of them.
Thanks in advance for...
