Innovative Arms Deception! Better than the YHM and Thunderbeast cans I've used IMO.

If I were buying today, I'd go with a SilencerCo Saker 7.62.

For hunting or high round count?
For a hunting can you can't beat the Harvester..
Quiet, effective, inexpensive.
I would not buy anything from AAC, I doubt they will be in business in a year.
The Saker 30cal is a nice can but a tad heavy.
I love my Templar cans but they are just out of your price range.
Another good one for an AR10 is the new Thunderbeast 7" 30 cal
I have ran all of these, all are nice cans..

Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

YHM Ti QD or SilencerCo Saker...
AAC has mount issues. Google search and you will find numerous complaints.
I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect. Some people live an entire lifetime & wonder if they ever made a difference in the world, a veteran doesn't have that problem. Reagan

I would not buy anything from AAC, I doubt they will be in business in a year. You say that every time someone suggests AAC. I've never seen anything suggesting they won't be around. They are owned by Freedom Group and have been moved to the giant production warehouse along with most of the other companies. It would be dumb for Freedom Group to just get rid of a big brand company like AAC for no reason. That would be like Nabisco closing down the Oreo brand. It's not going to happen. They would sell the brand to someone else way before that. There's a reason the SDN and the SDN6 were one one of the top 30 cal cans for long time. My SND6 is awesome. I only suggested the Saker 762 because it is 300WM rated.

Look at MadMan silencers, here in East Texas. I'll have to find the link.
In God we trust, all others get run through TCIC.

X2 I didn't get the Ti model, I wish I had, but the SS model works great just a little heavier.

Is GemTech old news? I know a few years back they were the darlings.

I run the Allen Engineering AE30 on my 5.56 AR, 300BLK, 308, and 300 WM and absolutely love it. Just another one to look at.

I'm pretty sure all 30cal cans can be used with 5.56/223. I use my 30 phantom on my 5.56 and 308 both have the YHM Phantom QD mount on the barrel. If you get a 30cal threaded barrel you'll have to get a thread converter that converts the 1/2x28 to 5/8x24 or just have your 223/5.56 barrel rethreaded to 5/8x24.

The SDN6 attaches to a 51T for quick mount. Costs a bit to put a 51T on all your rifles, but I use the same can on my .308, .300BLK, and 5.56

I wouldn't expect them to come up with any new innovative, or even worthwhile, designs, but I'd expect them to continue producing the design they have. I'd have no problem buying any proven items from them.
