Remember; they don’t increase the weapon’s max effective range, they increase your ability to make efficient use of / take advantage of your weapon’s max effective range.

One last thing about my beloved magnifiers -

Can you say FORCE MULTIPLIER ? Your typical AR will do AR things anywhere from 250-550yd, depending on the barrel length and the ammo used; the 3x magnifier makes taking advantage of the deep end of the pool we’ll call “effective range” so much easier.

This thing rules - check the next video to see what actually happens when you start aiming with this bad lad

We LOVE combining magnifiers with red dots - 99% of the time, good, solid 1x performance is what you want from your optic, whether that’s in the form of quality iron sights or a quality reflex optic, aka the “red dot” so commonly referred to. Of course, when you need to take a shot a little further away, it can be nice to have a little bit of magnification. This is where the magnifier comes into play. Go too cheap and the thing is a blurry mess with a tiny window, but on the flip side, the high end performance of something like the EOtech G33 (you’ve seen them on all sorts of special forces and other serious end-user’s weapons) is gonna cost you.

That’s where today’s unsung hero comes into focus (pun only half intended as the words flowed from my fingertips 😅).

The Sig Juliet 3 (not the micro, but the standard full size model) is hands down the best value that exists in the magnifier space. Video incoming:

So all these posts we’ve been making about silencers, I know for a lot of you, it’s kind of a moot point because you don’t want to go through the hassle of being fingerprinted, passport photo, federal form 4, all the crazy hoops to jump through.

All of that changed today; the director of the ATF came out and essentially said that the National Fi****ms Act is now relegated to Machine Guns and Destructive Devices.

What does that mean for you? In Florida, it means that buying a silencer is now the exact same process as buying any other fi***rm. It means the category of “SBR” (short barrel r***e) is now redundant, and is simply a r***e like any other. So where the two guns pictured would, before, have been an SBR requiring a tax stamp for the barrel length combined with the features of the gun’s furniture, and another tax stamp for the silencer, aka a “2 stamp gun” ?

Now? They’re both just r***es with helpful accessories. 😁 🤫 🤩

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

👊🏻😎

(Yes, they’re sharing the same can, and that’s awesome because I can only shoot one gun at a time… accurately, anyway 😅)

“WOO HOOOO!!!!”

So finally here we have an example of a quick detach can that easily goes on and off any muzzle device within its ecosystem; in this case the Surefire SOCOM ecosystem, so while the can on display here is an RC2, the exact same thing could be done with an RC3, RC4, MINI 2, RC MINI 4, etc etc.

Similarly, if you had multiple r***es with Q muzzle devices, the Thunder Chicken from last video could quickly thread on and off them, same applies with HUXWRX cans and muzzle devices (the FLOW 556 and their signature twisting flash hider would be the most popular example from them), as well as HUB-compatible cans, which is a standardized thread pitch that more and more new cans are utilizing, and many muzzle devices now exist that are meant for HUB-threaded cans, with one such muzzle device manufacturer being Reardon.

The big difference with these Surefire SOCOM cans, as you will see in the video ? Rather than threading on, they actually lock into place via a little cutout, and then are tightened on with a fastening collar. This collar has a little release button to undo it, and once it’s loosened in its little half rotation, the can will come right off. This system is proprietary to Surefire, and they’ve even made HUB-thread adapters, so you can add their collar fastening Quick Detachment system to any of the new breed of HUB cans (I personally have a Rhodie 6 on order that I plan to turn into a Surefire SOCOM compatible can, as all my AR’s already use Surefire muzzle devices).

Not for nothing, Surefire makes phenomenal muzzle devices as well.

As promised, now we move into cans that are made to work WITH installed muzzle devices, rather than needing to work INSTEAD of them. This is obviously going to be a very big benefit and attractive proposition for someone who wants to shoot a r***e both with and without a can, regularly, or perhaps wants to have one can that works with multiple guns; while one weapon has the silencer, the others still have a functioning muzzle device with a purpose, rather than being in a state of “waiting for the can.”
This is going to apply more to AR’s and other fighting / sporting / competition style r***es, but the principle is universal. So in the example we have a Sugar Weasel, manufactured by Q, who are known for their innovative, forward thinking designs. Almost everyone has heard of the Honey Badger, and many companies look to recreate it.

So this Q Sugar Weasel has a Q Cherry Bomb compensator installed at the end of the barrel; this helps felt recoil and muzzle rise, which the AR platform is already low on.

Enter the THUNDER CHICKEN. A full-sized, high backpressure can that is 100% geared towards performance. It threads right over the Q-branded compensator, and works immediately. Comes off the same way. What’s very cool as well, is that the compensator keeps on compensating when it’s inside the silencer; so your muzzle device really does have an important role to play in considering a silencer.

Now this example is Q-centric, and uses Q’s ecosystem. Many of the silencers now are switching to an agreed upon universal thread pitch, and it’s often referred to as “HUB,”’as in that’s a HUB can, or that’s HUB-compatible. Your non-HUB stuff can almost guaranteed be made compatible with HUB, which is very helpful because it’s becoming quite the prolific system.

In fact, just like how the Q muzzle device works for Q cans? There are several companies who have the same style of proprietary devices, so you’re invested in their ecosystem if you want to use their stuff.

The final example coming up next is my absolute favorite style of cans and adapters, and if you’re into this stuff? You’ll probably find something interesting in both this and the next upload!
