@eamars that's not what ODL told me?

They said you cannot put a 556can on the 762 brake as the 762 brake is too long to fit in the 556 can for safety reasons, they they said the 556 brake can be used on a 762 can as although the brake is shorter the actual thread is the same. They did this so only a "safe" combination of the two will work.

Have you heard otherwise?

Oh that was just my speculation that on their website they only shows 7.62 brake recommended for 7.62 suppressor. I didn't think about the cross compatibility though. Hope you are right
