You do have a valid point - they often don't crush uniformly, which could create an alignment problem, which has the outside potential for a baffle strike on a suppressor with very little margin for error in the tolerances. The SCI-SIX has a rather generous bullet path (you can actually shoot larger calibers than 556 thru it, but we didn't say that and don't suggest trying it). So to be on the safest side, ditch the crush washer.
Slade and CGS did a great job with the SCI SIX. It’s one of my favorite cans. I’ve been running the CAT WB now, but the SCI SIX still lives on my backup rifle. My most recent video on my Channel,I did a backpressure test on my 12.5. Midgas with riflespeed adjustable gas block with the SCI SIX, CAT WB and CAT ODB to show how much gas is needed to lock back with each can. The great thing about the CAT cans is that they achieve low backpressure without the can being a concussion machine.
I recently picked up the same suppressor was a bit skeptical just d/t 5.56 and all but was surprised at just how much it did reduce the the sound at the shooters ear.
It's def a solid piece of equipment. Well thought out. Not much you can do about the supersonic loads required to cycle the bolt without buying a whole new BCG, buffer, gas kit (and even then I wouldn't trust it with my life). But it sure gets it done at the shooter's ear, as you pointed out. Thanks for the comment!
They don’t know what they are talking about when they say no crush washer. It is typically just fine as long as it’s an actual crush washer and not a split washer. In any case, the most important thing is just checking alignment after mounting the can for the first time and making sure the bullet path is aligned properly. Good video man.
Do NOT use crush washers for muzzle devices that will mount suppressors. Use shims instead because crush washers don't align the muzzle device concentrically to the bore of the barrel.
You def have a point. They don't crush uniformly and if there's little margin for error in your suppressor and it doesn't then you have a chance for baffle strikes. Apply Rocksett or a similar thread locker to the barrel threads. (See the note at the end in the description).
Well, torque is def recommended. Check out pg 6, bullet 3 of the suppressor manufacturer's manual on installation. cgsgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/SCI-SIX-MANUAL.pdf
It's actually really quiet - video shot inside the range didn't do it justice. We'll have more later on how it mitigates sound. This one was really about putting it on, etc. Check out Pew Science's ratings on the can. There's even a "documentary" of sorts about it and how the collab came together. Decent watch.
A man who overcompensates is like a peacock with too many feathers-sure, he’s flashy, but he’s still just a bird trying to hide something small. All lights matter - ALM!
Please no crush washer with suppressor mounts.

Which is why when I installed my AEM5 I was a little hesitant. But it’s an old school design. And thankfully runs perfectly.
Straight to the point & very well explained. Can’t wait to see what you guys think about it after using it awhile.
thanks!
Love, love, love the channel brother! Really great information, to the point, no fluff, no frills, top quality stuff.
Awesome! Thank you! Greatly appreciate your time watching and commenting. Be safe!

Hey thanks for the reply and we look forward to checking out your video!
please make more videos they are great! and i realised that you have very uncommon setup it looks cool/weird
Thanks Kyle! We have content coming every Wednesday at noon(ish) ET. Hope your week has gone well and thanks for commenting!

Im sure youve already seen it, but check out the ported front end cap CGS makes for it. Completely changes the shooting experience!
We love it! Thanks for the comment!
I thought the CGS Sci six can just be threaded on without a shim or crush washer
it definitely can. some think using it can cause concentricity issues, but it never has in all my years. but you don't "need" them.

Sweet suppressor!
yeah, we're digging it

@@AM-KX Don't use rocksett. Just torque on the muzzle device properly unless you want it on that gun permanently rocksett all you want
Well, torque is def recommended. Check out pg 6, bullet 3 of the suppressor manufacturer's manual on installation. cgsgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/SCI-SIX-MANUAL.pdf
Is that a 2.26 ID OMM?! Any details on that?
Hey sharp eye! Yes, it is indeed. we love it. Main section plug a long board.
@@AM-KX that’s awesome. Hope that gets an official release. I love my OMM but would like the ability to run the Unity ftc mount.
Your into blew my damn speakers up lol....
haha! sorry! maybe we'll put in a warning next time
@@AM-KXthat’s a loud can! Yeesh even with the solid endcap.

You know light length does not count towards barrel length yeah??? = )

That flashlight cover will be melted in 60 rounds
lol, well so far its holding up just fine at 1450 rds. Thanks for watching and commenting and we'll keep an eye on it.
Didn’t see an actual torque wrench … ?
Crush washers don’t matter if they’re not split washers. It’s no big deal.
yeah, to each his own. we've used them, avoided them and guys go back and forth.
