Fantastic video, one of the best on the Flow 556k. I like the mix in of the shooting footage, and also the breakdown of the features, and benefits of the system. Excellent video!
Just picked up their Flow 7.62 TI. Ran it on my 11.5 Geissele upper. No gas in the face, ejects 3 oclock, actually dampened recoil impulse. Happy with my first can. The TI does spark, also brand new. And I did notice how much faster rail heats up, even with flow through.
I also just shot my new flow 7.62 TI on a 16", and man I'm sold on flow through for supersonic ammo now. I have lots of standard baffle designs, and on supersonic the flow sounds just as good without any of the back pressure. Non flow through is still fantastic on subsonics though
@@trunkmonkey56 That’s awesome! Yea I don’t shoot anything that takes subs yet. I put 60 rounds through to test at indoor range, never gases out once. Brand new can sparks. Hux says it should decline at bit as can gets seasoned. Will likely always have a little bit. But for the light weight, no back pressure, I’m fine with it.
@@ChadCooper03i put 300 rounds through mine in one trip, and got it really hot. Sparking got a little bit better but definitely not gone. I would push people to a different material if sparking is a big concern. I do have a titanium SilencerCo Scythe and it doesn't spark with super 300blk. But oh boy is this 7.62 flow light weight for how durable it is. Mine will probably live on 556, 5.45, and 7.62x39 guns. I highly recommend you try a 300blk suppressed. With subsonics and the right suppressor, it's comfortable to shoot ears off outside.
Have the Flow 7.62 ti. Ran it on my 223 and it really outshines their previous models. Was hearing safe and much quieter than I anticipated. Of course, I still wear earpro as it all adds up over time but I am very pleased with mine.
Currently Running the older OSS HX-QD 762. I love it and have ran it on 308 semi auto's, 6.5 bolt guns, and multiple 5.56 semi autos. It runs extremely well and is easy to use and maintain. Looking forward to a 5.56Kin the future.
It is a great can. The CAT is impressive in it's own right, but the Flow556k is no slouch either. It is still quiet for the size, even though it has a different tone at the muzzle. You won't be disappointed with it, this video highlights the pros of the system.
The CAT WB is the best 5.56 can on the market. It has extremely low back pressure but doesn't give up sound suppression. The Hux is great since it's the lowest backpressure on the market but sounds like a quieter unsuppressed shot. The WB has SLIGHTLY more backpressure but gains considerably more sound suppression (pew science numbers) and flash mitigation while being slightly shorter. The tone on it it's insane and different from any other 5.56 can I've heard while having near no gas
It’s subjective depending on what platform, barrel length, ammunition, ect. “Out of all the submissions that participated in the rigorous FBI Ballistic Research Facility testing, the FLOW 556k finished first in weight, unsuppressed and suppressed flash/spark, sound suppression, gas blowback, and user assessment testing.”
I’m torn between this suppresser and a KAC 556 QDC/CRS-PRT for my incoming SR15 CQB MOD2 11.5. The KAC does not have adjustable gas and I’m worried other suppressors may not run as smoothly. But, the KAC suppressor is more expensive and quite a bit heavier. Weight does matter.. I know I’m not going to war with it, but I do want something that’s as close to “get it and forget it” type. If I ever take a class with it, I don’t want to be finicking with it. I don’t want to be like the guy with the super expensive 1911 not keeping up with the Glocks in the class.. What would you do?
@@VerrettsTactical Thank you for the response guys! I’ve been agonizing over this decision. Truth be told, I’m new to the game of suppressors and currently only own one that’s on my 300BLK.
They both have pros and cons. It really depends on what your ultimate goal is. We are getting the Titanium soon and will hopefully have a follow up by the end of the year.
Sooooo basically, an overpriced, badass muzzle break. Why not just run a flash hider for 10x less the cost because this supressor really does nothing. You keep mentioning no gas back to the face. I can get no gas back to the face without a supressor. So what's the point? It doesn't suoress sound. And it's actually terrible at Flash Signature. What's the point.
Are you just mad because you can’t afford a suppressor. So if you don’t have one…what are you basing these factually incorrect statements on? It definitely suppresses very well , it reduces the flash well. It’s okay that you are wrong. This is subjective depending on what platform, barrel length, ammunition, ect. “Out of all the submissions that participated in the rigorous FBI Ballistic Research Facility testing, the FLOW 556k finished first in weight, unsuppressed and suppressed flash/spark, sound suppression, gas blowback, and user assessment testing.”
And that is totally cool, if thats what you want. However, they do significantly more than just reduce sound. The 556k is on par with other short configuration suppressors but gives a lot more benefits than the others.
Agreed, by the numbers, not the upmost quietest can out there (if that is all you require). The reduction in back pressure and gas-face are other pros to look at. Military Arms Channel and OSS/HuxWrx put out two videos where decible testing was done at shooters ear and downrange. The difference downrange between silencers was negligible.
@@VerrettsTactical I find my CGS and CAT Cans outperform the 556k on my weapon system (cycling, my ear and accuracy). Still like my 556k but my go to is always my CGS or CAT. I also really like my EA Vox-S
There’s nothing wrong with liking another suppressor more. But it’s a serious problem when people want to make definitive statements. Some studies show that the 556k outperforms other suppressors by far. At the end of the day if everybody’s running different firearms with different barrel lengths and different ammo in different climate conditions… and then make a statement that one component is better… There’s no baseline for a comparison. Who knows, with your specific conditions and set up maybe it is better for you.
Fantastic video, one of the best on the Flow 556k. I like the mix in of the shooting footage, and also the breakdown of the features, and benefits of the system. Excellent video!
Thank you, we really appreciate the feedback. I don't think people realize how much work goes into making these videos.
Before I watch, let me say that you better validate my purchase or I will be mad.

Thats awesome, glad to hear its still running strong! The 556k is also totally worth the investment.
Have a 556k coming soon, have been regretting not getting a CAT WB instead, but this video made me a little more hopeful for happiness with the 556k.

Good video Brandon, you have some really cool stuff.
I past up on this can for a griffin but im headed back for it tomorrow
Hub mount? Exactly how quiet compared to others? Not for the shooter, for the target/muzzle.
Was BB in this video breaching doorways? I think I seen a giant!
Picked mine up today. I'm excited to run it.
You wont be disappointed. 💪
@@VerrettsTactical I did plenty of research. Now I'm just having hard time finding additional muzzle devices. LOL

With a non adjustable gas block the HuxWrx suppressors really shine. For a “CQB build” we go lighter and shorter.

Those VerTac bois are so hot 😜😜😜
have you ever has the can walk off?
No, its actually the opposite. They can occasionally get so tight you need a wrench to get it off. Its not a bad problem
Dig it! Now I wanna go buy a HUXWRX. 😂
Only FUX with HUX
Gotta go with flow. 😎 The HUX flow
Hawt 🔥
Great overall review of the Hux can though!
HAHA
Mines in AFT jail.
Ti or steel?

What is the maintenance like for 556K? Is it hard to clean?
Soak overnight in CLP (every couple thousand rounds) mount suppressor on rifle /shoot out carbon.
Bought a 556 and .30cal waiting for them to be approved by communists

To me the purpose of a suppressor is to make the report quiet. Hux are NOT quiet. They do reduce gas in your face.
For me, I’ll go for quiet

There isn’t a single “quiet” 5.56 suppressor out there.
You have no idea what you're talking about. My Flow 556K sounds awesome on my PWS MK116 and is very quiet for its size and caliber. 🤨
@@juncho1977 you obviously haven’t shot next to many other suppressors.
