Yes brand new.
The gun wouldn't shoot, 4 inches at 100,
No bullet strikes, thought maybe the finnlight just didn't like the can on it.
On inspection it appeared as thow the glue was coming apart in front of the isolator?
I'm not sure but when I here for certain I'll let you no

For a scathing report.
Na he wouldn't care, doesn't make suppressors does he?

Glue!?

Some sort of liquid was exiting the can onto the barrel, I was picking if I kept firing I may have done what Jason did.
I'm told I'll get a report so I'll let you no as I said.

I was told " the tolerances where out and the glue hadn't set"

That was all I was told, I said I'd post up what the report was.

Press fit I believe and yip pretty much glue

I have 3 of these cans so appreciate the photo. For me it also highlights proper use. It concerns me that this a was a new can that failed as I use one on a short barreled 7mm WSM with high muzzle pressure.

One trap the manufacturers fall into is that by not identifying recommended use and or expected life they have kind of assumed a life time warranty. I went to great lengths to define the intended use and calculated muzzle pressure for my WSM. Dan then made modifications to handle the job. In spite of that knowledge I'm now a little weary which is a good thing. I won’t beat it goat shooting and as it shoots perfectly I'll save it for bush hunting.

The 6 x 47 is a god sent for snap shooting without the added hassle of earmuffs but I think I'll back away from using a suppressor on anything else regardless of the brand.

Thanks for the photo Jason.

It's possible the loctite type product had not adhered in the presence of anodising, it can take a very special heptane base accelerator/prep solution to enable some loctite products to adhere with full strength to anodising.

Have seen this problem a few times now.

The lock tite problem does not explain why the "muzzle brake" part of the suppressor snapped off or why so many units from that manufacturers get the tube female threads pulling off the "monocore" male threads ( at the muzzle side of the suppressor).There might also be a design problem or a design fault?
