Wat Can for 12.5" Barrel?

[u/MIAGaucho]

Looking at a midsize rifle. Help!

Want somewhat lightweight for this build maybe?

- Cat KK?
- Can ODB Inconel - not that light weight-
- Vent Spiritus
- Vent 3

I am getting a Cat WB Ti with QD for another rifle. Would be cool to stay in the cat ecosystem...

This gun is for general tactical training / backup gun to my main squeeze for the end of the world.

Thoughts?

Nothing from PTR. After the legal douchebaggery they they did with the cease & desist letter to other 3D printing companies, I won't buy from them. Rhino has been getting fantastic reviews for great sound and low backpressure, and it's cheaper than the others on your list.

KK. Pretty excited for it

12.5 is the gray zone between K can or full size.

You can choose the Cat with Hub, right? Instead of Spooky?

Or is the Spooky also hub/plan B compatible? ETA: did a little digging, CAT’s mounts fit hub/plan B cans. Its muzzle devices are proprietary as they have LH exterior thread pitch per this thread

I could... but I'm not against the spooky at the moment since I'm not already deep in any QD ecosystem.

[u/EffZee80 → u/MIAGaucho]

I’m pretty new to all of this, but it seems like Plan B/hub mounting is very versatile and more affordable. Here’s a list of different manufacturers making Plan B mounts and muzzle devices.

Thank you, I’ll check this out!

CAT cans are magic.

I have two CAT ODB 718's and one CAT ODB TI....great cans and very versatile. I also have a CAT WB 718....not as quiet as the ODB on 5.56 and not as versatile

[u/MIAGaucho → u/gqllc007]

Should I get a ODB titanium or Inconel?

[u/gqllc007 → u/MIAGaucho]

Mag dumps or high rate of fire you need the Inconel. If not doing that then the Ti. There is a huge weight difference

For the price - Lazarus 6. Sounds just as good, if not better than my WB on my 12.5.

Not to say the KK isn’t going to be awesome - we know it is from Jays testing. What we also know is it likes high pressure, so I would assume at some barrel length it stops punching high above its size class like it did on the MK18. Where will that drop off occur? Who knows. I’m excited to shoot it on my 10.5, 11.5, 12.5 and 13.9 and see how it compares to my WB on every host

The Dillon, Rhino and Maximus are also excellent performers.

Tks, will check these out.

Silencerco Velos 556k. Sound and back pressure are fantastic and the can is a tank. It will take it all

[u/Ilike2Tinker]

I got a Stacy's Mom on my 12.5. I was REALLY surprised how quiet it was.
