Hey guys,

We got some top-sellers back in stock, but they won't last long!

Have your eyes on a fake can? Now is your chance to grab one. We have a few models available in 1/2"-28 thread pitch.

Plus stock up on nickel-brass casings in 5.56/.223 and 9mm, and Hodgdon's CFE-223 rifle powder before they're gone too.

Cheers,
Stanley and the gang


P.S. Father's Day Sale is on! New items added daily. Stay tuned for more surprises later this week!
 
So, True North Arms has shipped the faux suppressor w/linear compensator to me in the usual record time, all was well packed and thanks for the beer coasters. They're always a nice touch that is appreciated. I don't know if anyone ever tells you that, but thanks?

If the can is blemished, I can't find it. The can is steel and an interesting construction (more on that later).

Anyone buying one should ask for new crush washers for the install. I had some on hand.

The can is of a three piece construction. A linear compensator, an outer sleeve, and an open ended nut (the knurled aspect of the piece) that is threaded into the sleeve.

I was installing the can on my Tavor x95 and the measurements perfectly fit the 18" barrel version. After finishing the installation I couldn't help notice that the can perfectly indexed to 12, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. Someone knows what they are doing. However, a note to that someone...when I threaded the can on the barrel and attempted to tighten it down on the crush washer (35 ft lbs give or take a few), I was surprised that the knurling cracked loose!? I thought "oh no, somethings let go?" and that's when I realized the knurning is in fact a right hand threaded nut/bushing. This is a problem.

So, I then had a hand tightened can that needs to go another 1/8th turn or so to reach 35 ft lbs crush on the washer and anything I put on the knurling just loosens the nut. My constructive criticisms are if the threading on the nut were reversed to left hand thread then tightening the can would also tighten the knurled nut/bushing and vice versa on loosening.

To resolve my problem I tightened the knurled nut into the can and then with the benefit of two properly sized steel rods inserted into the linear compensators outer vent holes and a lever bar in between them, I braced the rifle and cranked down hard. Lo and behold, she indexed!? Wonderful!!

There is a noticeable weight added to the end of an already heavy rifle, but it's a bullpup so, meh?

I'll report back with a range report soon. I'm interested to learn whether there is any effect on accuracy (positive or negative), and just how much the compensator, compensates. Either way it looks cool as hell on the Tavor. I'm a happy gunner.

:cheers:TNA!
 
An unfortunate range report.

The can looks great, I received some positive comments from others at the range, and the linear compensator works I suppose? However, I can't hit anything with the rifle now. I was shooting at a bench at 100m and the spread was surprisingly all over the place. I could not hit my 8" plate at all and the spread on the paper looked like buckshot.

I'm taking this thing off my rifle and going back to the birdcage that the Israelis had on it from factory.

I used several types of ammo, and all of it I had on hand and used with the rifle before the can and I was constantly bench shooting 2" MOA groups at 100m. Same optic, everything the same aside from the can.

I wanted to like it, I really did, but I just spent $200.00 in ammo to verify that the $100 can is causing problems. I'm a bit butt hurt about the whole thing truth be told.
