    I have to agree this thread turned to horse shit pretty damn fast.
    Disappointing to say the least. The OP didn't have a crack at anyone and I personally didn't know who had supplied and fitted the can.
    It would have been preferable instead of making assumptions that the questions were answered. I run a can on my boom stick and if it's possible it will fail give me the reasons why.
    Cheers

    I'd just like to say that after watching a few of NORWAY's videos on Youtube, his can must be pretty top notch. That dude fires hundreds of rounds in a sitting out of that 6.5x284 and it has survived pretty well. Granted it's not a magnum or anything. But still impressive.

    Sheesh,

    Firstly @Looseunit i think it will buff out, I am sure it will get sorted, i have 3 of his/theirs/dont mention names lol and would go again.

    secondly if we are going to "add" things top the front of out guns that were not put there by the gun maker then i would suggest that at some stage 1 or 2 may fail.

    Glad everyone is ok and also now i know where looseunit works

    Dog , RE the Reflex T8 cans , they where good cheap cans , and are underated in sound reduction , BUT as they are thin steel , they do rust out & blow out where they have rusted , actually always thought a SS version of the Reflex would be nice , a company in UK did just that , but no longer do them .

    Mauser , Oceania Defence will be making a 338LM can soon , but it mounts over the AI Tac brake , which has a spigot section on barrel for clamp , & a 18x1.5mm thread , and will be maybe a bit dearer than the AU SL7 or NOT ?
    BT in switzerland make a steel & SS can for 338LM as well .

    yes . both left messages , he knows about it , just not bothered to return the call at this stage , will leave it to the customer to follow up with him as he purchased it direct from the manufacturer .

    The DPT I've seen fail recently was replaced also immediately upon contact being made, with a newer model
