More about the AAC 51T

[@combatsolutionsgroup2021]

Yeah you don't need that last click. AAC themselves came out years ago and explained this. Even if there is rotational movement the can is totality fine.

[@koehn979]

It may work to "silence" the shot, but it sure as heck isn't gonna shoot accurately with a loose suppressor rocking around on your mount....

[@Flynnster70]

I had my 762SDN cut and threaded by ECCO to get rid of the 51 tooth and now go KeyMo

[@forcesolutions4154]

Nice! By all accounts, this is an excellent option and ECCO does outstanding work. I may do so myself.

@@forcesolutions4154 AAC now will upgrade your older cans to their newer Ranger can for a fee.

[@Fugettaboutit]

Cool, this is what I was told as well. I have the 556-SD and the flash hider attachment in your vid as well as a muzzle brake on another gun. Was told go to the last valley. I can turn hard and it does stop and not 'wiggle' but it seems to be up on a 'tooth', which I was told would just wear it away as well as the latch itself in use, so the last valley with a little play was fine. Don't know if it adds more change of impact point.

[@forcesolutions4154]

Take a look at the video where I show how what tooth it's on can influence POI and accuracy, or not.

[@Fugettaboutit]

@@forcesolutions4154 thx, saw other vids where they also said go to last valley.

[@znismo1]

Good info.

[@thirdmonkeyent_llc]

It's not good info. The slop is a good thing. It keeps things from breaking out getting stuck on the mount. It's why an NT4 is so reliable and durable. They have comparatively quite a bit of slop concentrically and back and forth. But they never get stuck on mounts and the mount on the can never gets broken.

Love the look of the aac 3 prong man🔥🔥 is the ring on them really that bad? I was thinking of getting another dead air 3 prong because it has 0 ring. I don’t have the tools to modify the aac and am not really trying to send it off to have someone else mess with it.

[@forcesolutions4154]

most people don’t like the ring, so go with the DA. I use the AAC 3 prong mounts bc I have cans that fit them. Also, if weight bugs you, look for something lighter. All these 3 prongs are about 4.x ounces and are a bit heavy for what they do. If you have to have zero flash, then it may be worth it to you, though.

[@dfed0530]

Once tightened on do you unscrew the suppressor a bit so the pawl bites into the valley of the tooth more?

[@forcesolutions4154]

You can do it that way, and that is a good way to do it, and this will result in a little bit of rotational play, which is NOT a bad thing, as my shoot videos show; if you then shoot a few mags, the new carbon buildup on the muzzle device and in the threads of the can will reduce the amount of play. Alternately, if you put the can on so that the pawl is past the valley but NOT past the top of the next tooth, the can will loosen and the pawl will fall into the valley. Alternately, it happens sometimes that the pawl gets past the top of the next tooth but not by a lot, but by enough, and this can result in a nice, tight fit. The fit can also vary by how much carbon, copper, and lead has accumulated on the mount and in the threads of the can. So be sure to clean the muzzle device and the threads in the can. I use a welder’s brush to clean the muzzle device, and a plumber’s pipe cleaning wire brush to clean the threads in the can. Sometimes I use a dremel with a wire wheel brush, but I don’t overdo it.

[@nickbernell4361]

where can u get one of those?

[@forcesolutions4154]

Look in the equipment exchange on AR15.com

[@jordanfreeman1606]

What suppressor do you have?

[@forcesolutions4154]

That is a AAC 556-SD, IIRC. It's an older can.

[@thirdmonkeyent_llc]

It's not good to force it going to that valley of the last tooth. The slop in the device helps save it from getting damaged or the locking mechanism on the can getting broken. That's why an NT4 is so durable and reliable and can be shot and shot and shot and never have any issues getting the can off the mount like she companies *cough cough* Silencer Co *cough cough*. Going this right could give you issues getting the can off the mount if shot a lot. Leave it with the slop. It's better for the mount and the can.

[@forcesolutions4154]

Exactly. Let it ride in the last valley *that you don't have to force it into*, not the last possible valley that you got it there because you forced it there. There should be a little bit of rotational play. To quote John Hollister "it's a retention system not a tensioning system".
