AB Suppressors Raptor 

Everyone please check your notifications real quick to make sure they are on.

Thanks for having a look at our Raptor! ...and for the cinematic intro...🥳

I have indeed begun to shop around and do my homework for my first can. I appreciate all the cantent.

4:25 is insane. Amazin’

i like that its ribbed for my pleasure

WOW! That difference between unsuppressed & suppressed is nutz!

This is the kind of can that won't be difficult to get your wife to okay. She might even want one herself

The can mutates as the video progresses. He starts by calling it a "reflex".... it later becomes a "reflux" hehehe.

For those who may be interested, these "spiral" baffles originated maybe 20+ years ago in a Russian patent and was then picked up and patented by a Finnish company. Ase Utra actually made suppressors using these baffles. I have held an AU S7 suppressor in my hand and it was both very large OD and quite heavy. The reflex idea was also pioneered by a Finish company called BR Tuote. They also used different numbers of baffles in the front end of their cans and named the various models by the number of baffles. Its like AB raided the Finnish silencer playbook and jammed a few different ideas together here. The AB rimfire can with its screwed in baffles, took that idea from a silencer from the 1970's? or possibly the 1980's, which also used an internally threaded tube with the baffles screwed in. This design was documented in Al Paulson's book, "Silencer History and Performance Vol 1".

Currently waiting for approval on one of their A-10 Warthog 5.56 can. Great video

I just laugh when the guy says "reflux" instead of "reflex". Having said that, I have one on order.

I'd love to see your take on the Allen Engineering AEM5 and maybe the AE30. Old school tech that has a cult following. Really digging the AB stuff.

I am hoping for a 450 Bushmaster compatible version with the reflex feature.

There are no spirals. They are simply welded circular baffles. A spiral would have an unbroken path or chamber. Not trying to be a nitpicker, but this claim seems pervasive that it has a "number of spirals". It has a number of circular baffles welded into a stack that is not possible to remove for maintenance. If we're being specific and critical. I think the really awesome part of this can is the "reflex adapter" design and it's flexibility in size choice to add chamber expansion space to accommodate bigger cartridge's and their higher gas volumes.

This can has been on my radar for a dedicated .300 BLK gun for a while due to the reflex system on there. I'm hoping PEW Science will do a review on one of their cans at some point to see how it stacks up in the numbers.

Almost missed this video. Started going through VSO withdrawal because hadn't had my weekly does of Curt's humor!

man i wish i could run a suppressor here in Delaware so fucking bad

I wish they would've named it reflex instead of reflux.

Can sounds great. Will you be testing the Resilient Suppressors RS9 or RSP in the future? I've heard great things about the Diligent Defense suppressors as well. I really enjoy your suppressor reviews.

Commenting for that algorithm and I think I just found my new can.

One of your best videos. Except 5.56 cap on blackout can

That, is bad ass...

WHY??? No mention of the ammo, grain, type being used...

9:29 I'm surprised those helmet straps aren't more NIR friendly than this... They glow like basic untreated nylon... well they appear to be, from the camera's POV.

Why does everyone feel the need to play music during a suppressor video where we want to Hear the suppressed fire sounds or lack of decibels

All good info as usual Brotha ‘ but I need Prilosec OTC after all the times you tested the Reflux mount vs Reflex mount .

Cool silencer

Great timing, I’ve been eyeing one of these at my local shop recently. They seem pretty awesome! Do you think there would be a huge sound difference if you were to use a .30 caliber can on a 5.56 rifle? I’m considering getting the Raptor 6 or 8 .30 caliber can. That way, if I ever get an AK or a 300 Blackout in the future, I can swap it around on all of them.

Is that sub sonic ammo?

Seems like they need to work on their flash hider end cap. 😉

I’d be curious to know temperature readings were (of barrel, suppressor and ambient) as well as altitude

Can't seem to find the discount code for these where would they be?

what is your gas block device ?

90 grain ALCO projectile with a 0.627 ballistic coefficient saboted at 3,960 fps from a custom 20.89 inch 1:7 twist chrome-molybdenum chrome-lined heavier profile longitudinally fluted cryogenically stress-relieved barreled Kel-Tec RFB would result in an OAL of 29.99 inches and 2,200 yards of range until deceleration to Mach one at standard temperature and pressure. 80% the weight of M118LR, 72-75% the recoil, 297% improved odds to hit at 1k yards. Subbing for +3 Longbow and polymer magazines, a 140 round loadout of M118LR in half pound FN-FAL steel magazines could be swapped for a 180 round loadout. 1.25 miles, 12.8 yards past two kilometers, in a 30 inch platform suitable for CQB use as well would be fun for operators with slightly less conventional requirements. Easier to manage in tightly confined spaces, small vehicles, ship boarding or whatever. You could hide it under a robe. Sir. Envision Hugh Hefner if that helps. Slippers. Whatever else that comes with. It's anybody's guess, really. Oh and ALCO's 62 grain 0.45 bc .22 caliber projectile can be loaded magazine length in .223 Remington. That'll get you a kilometer of effective range, maybe a little more depending on barrel length. But that Kel-Tec RFB would be a perfect candidate for that reflex suppressor you are kind enough to share with the group. Swedes get 2/3 MOA, 0.698 inch groups at 100 yards with their saboted 6 gram (92.6 grain) .19 caliber tungsten AP projectiles clocking 1,260 meters/second. Prolly 27 inch barrels I'm guessing. Extrapolating from that the 90 grain in 20.89 inch barrel will achieve 3,960 fps. 1:7 twist required. Might consider Ackley Improved chamber dimensions. 4,100 fps probably. Or, .338 Federal. Or .338 Federal AI. Then you could throw 253 grain Raufoss multipurpose .338 caliber slugs out to 1,000-1,100 yards. 50 round drums, Grip-Pod, US Optics 2.5-20x50mm day optic with a 34 mm tube and side focus parallax adjustment and illuminated first focal plane Christmas tree reticle weighing 815 grams measuring 14.64 inches long with a compass in the stock is recommended. Sir. Just thought I'd mention that fun idea that I haven't had time to work on for four+ years because I had to catch a bunch of corrupt high-ranking intelligence operatives that tried to kill me more than twice. Junkie fagg-ts, really. Not joking. And since I brought it up, how the f-ck are we supposed to be intimidated by not-heterosexual opiate addicts who think that they're gangster right up until it's time to get into some gangster sh-t. What is that. They don't gunfight. I've offered for sixty months now. Not a one of them. They're all like 'waaah, I have so much to live for' and 'waaah, I don't want to f-cking die'. Because my two-step plan, you see has been Step one. Find some gangster sh-t to get into Step two. Get into some gangster sh-t Brilliant execution on those reflex suppressors, sir. Read about the concept in Small Arms Review decades ago. Thanks for sharing. #Ihaveahighschooleducation 💀♠️🎯

I've been thinking of getting a Raptor and Reflex for my 7 PRC hunting rifle. My priority is keeping added length and weight to a minimum ... just enough to get the dB below 140. What size Raptor and what size Reflex do you think I can get by with?

What is the decibel rating?

Dude are you saying reflux?? Its Reflex. Reflex.

Question here , 7.62 diameter suppressor baffles are there 1/2 x28 threaded end caps and 5.56 muzzle end cap that are interchangeable with 7.62 caps and does reflex device also have different mounting threads available or do you have to have two reflexes to use on both calibers

What is rated fire rate on these aren’t they titanium, how’s erosion during say full auto even though I’ll never own FA

So what is the combo (gun+can) you would recommend for prone up to 200 yards with to be silent as the wind.

I checked a couple sites for the ab raptor after watching this and this is a surprisingly cheap suppressor. Maxxing out the options on one site, it was still cheaper then the cheapest Q LLC can

That’s why I don’t own 5.56 end caps. I’m not smart enough for those.

Do they come in 80%

I think that suppressor is sold at a place called the lions den...

price?

I need one

VSO: Sike ME: wait whaa…. MY Memory: Welcome to 7th Grade DirtNeck ! SIKE ! Edit - sounds great by the way. Love the tone and crazy baffle engineering.

Are these full auto rated?

Crazy quiet. If your a hunter, how, can you not have a can like this??

Off the subject… but why doesn’t witt machine make there short fat cans that work with ak and there locking detent seems like a big win there but what do I know I’m just simple Cavemanlawyer17

Uhhhh, No 300BO subs in video?

The 2nd worse video footage...
